Hello Mark,<br>
<br>
I believe you can disable this functionality by setting the
environment variable "<span style="null"><a>MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES</a>"
in the operating system. As I understand it, by having this value
present (set to anything?) Firefox will not create a new profile
for new Firefox version.<br>

For years now this resulted in 0-hassle experience for our
users. New users got their Firefox profile created in
h:\Firefox. Regardless of where they logged
on(VDI/TS/Computers) , they had their Firefox profile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

lang="EN-AU">Now, since Firefox 67, this would not work
anymore because of the new “profile per install” feature.
This is due to the nature of Application Virtualisation
where the package is loaded from virtual filesystem(that is
not really for example c:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox, but
there are some random GUID’s used – although normally the
software isn’t aware of this).

the hood do, I just want firefox to honour what is in
profiles.ini. What is now does is create a Firefox profile(a
separate one, on every computer) under the Windows user
profile, but that is useless.
