I've tried updating a PC from 52ESR to 68ESR (without installing
60ESR in between) and bookmarks and history were migrated ok. In
which cases can fail a migrated profile from 52 to 68?<br>
<br>
I set the environment variable MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES to 1 and I
executed this script:<br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><tt>TASKKILL /F /IM Firefox* /T</tt><tt><br>

You think this is a bad idea?<br>

I agree that this trend of individuals over corporate is alarming
and not only about FF, it is seen in many other programs too. For
Firefox I hope this is one-time case, the actual engine change
happened between 53 and 60 breaking a lot of things and I hope
backward compatibility is now maintained from 60 onwards. You just
need to figure out how to make this odd situation feasible to your
users.
<br>
<br>
Frankly I think FF should be able to convert profiles from 52 to
68 and next profile-breaking version, and next and so on (60 could
do it, why not 68), even if the direction is just one way. As you
said it is only N-2 away from current version. But what is done is
done, too late to fix things now.
