<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Mark,<br>
<br>
I believe you can disable this functionality by setting the environment variable "MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES" 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>
