Hi Joni, This is an update to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation Could you please help update this page by adding details around the fact that we'll be foring new profile creation in downgrade scenarios? I suggest we add a third bullet point as follows: * You will not lose any personal data or customizations. Any previous profile data is saved and associated with the first Firefox installation that was opened after this change. Starting with Firefox version 67, Firefox installations will have separate profiles. This will first apply to Nightly version 67, * then make its way to version 67 of Developer Edition, Beta, Firefox, and ESR. * We will still allow users to downgrade versions although this will now require you to create a fresh new profile in order to avoid profile corruption issues.
