I had a bad problem with the firefox profile manager about a year ago |
| 10 |
and I decided that the devs at mozilla are not maintaining that code |
| 11 |
any more, so I stopped using the profile manager. |

Firefox/mozilla is a very old project with limited resources. The |
| 14 |
current developers are working full speed on security updates, which is |
| 15 |
good, but there is a lot of bitrot in their huge codebase. |

I think you will continue to have intermittent (maybe even rare) |
| 18 |
problems if you continue to use firefox profiles. (If you use the |
| 19 |
profile manager to delete the bad profile you may wind up deleting all |
| 20 |
of your profiles, which is exactly what happened to me.) |

(You should keep a backup of your ~/.mozilla directory if you continue |
| 23 |
to use firefox profiles.) |
