<p>When I do an update for FF, I've been trying to do a profile
reset just to freshen things up. I was doing it manually (going
to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:support">about:support</a>) and then clicking "Refresh Firefox" but that's a
pain. I saw a post here recently that said I can use:<br>
-reset-profile to do this from the command line.</p>
<p>Two things I've noticed:</p>
<p>1)If I run "%programfiles\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe"
-reset-profile, I get the message that it can't find
"reset-profile" But I switch the Firefox program folder, it works
(well, sort of).</p>
<p>2)If I go to the Firefox program folder and run start /wait
firefox.exe -reset-profile, it seems to do the reset, but it
appears to be creating a fresh profile and I look history and
bookmarks.</p>
<p>Is this expected behaviour, or is there a bug, or am I doing
something wrong?</p>
<p>Running FF 66 (but I think it happened in 65 too).<br>
