Expected results:
Start with the profile "default" after upgrading.
This is been ongoing since 68 and effects many users in our company. Since 68.1.1 ist is even worse. This new profile mechanism confuses the users and is hard to fix automatically for the sysadmin.

Yes, we've been looking at this issue in bug 1542025. BTW, we're still not upgrading users from TB 60 to TB 68 automatically.
That said, a TB 60.9 32bit to TB 68.1.1 32bit upgrade should be without problems.
Thxs for the quick reply. I had a look at the duplicate bug 1542025. So this gets investigated by the thunderbird team. Great!
We distribute Thunderbird through active directory and GPOs. So users get the latest thunderbird release pretty quickly. Think we should be more conservative about this in the future.
But anyway: great to see thunderbird gets an overhaul with version 68!
