Firefox 67 tried to switch to creating a new profile folder by default. It seems that the process might have gone wrong. It's likely that your settings still exist, but in a separate profile folder.


Someone else was saying something similar but I couldn't find any more info, any idea how to restore it on Windows? Linux FF seemed to be ok.


Take a look in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles


I know where my profiles directory is... But my profile is trashed. The only two profiles aren't mine but default releases.
