Firefox 104.0.1 update reset profiles #2838

Closed edwardp3 closed 1 year ago

edwardp3 commented 1 year ago

OpenMandriva version: Cooker (installed in VirtualBox)

Describe the bug: Firefox updated from 103.0 to 104.0.1 and found the previously used profile was now "empty", the saved Bookmarks and Add-Ons were gone. Firefox launched using a new, clean profile.

Steps to reproduce: Update Firefox.

Observed behavior: Upon first launch, it began with a brand new profile. Found a new, third profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox ending with .default-release-1 and when I tried the other two profiles via about:profiles, all of them launched Firefox with a new, empty profile (no saved bookmarks or Add-Ons).

Expected behavior: Firefox should have launched with the previously-saved profile.

Additional information: I still have Firefox 103.0 in one of the other VirtualBoxes and it launched with the previously-saved profile, with saved Bookmarks and Add-Ons.

I can confirm that whenever FF is upgraded it does create a new profile here, but my old profile is intact and I am able to use that.

Workaround: Whenever FF is upgraded I try to be sure to open the new version from terminal with firefox -p and in that case it usually opens to the old profile and no new profile is created.

No FF 104 anymore so invalid.
