Ok, I logged into google with ESR52 and a completely fresh profile, and it worked. So, I suspect its my problem now to figure out why more and more sites have been failing to render for the past few months. But my main question was about the profile manager not telling you what its about to do

The issue for me is the increasing use of what I think is bleeding edge javascript to render just about everything. Today, I found that both digitalocean and gmail won’t render on ESR52. But sure I can run another browser, but if I do on macOS, and set my default browser to ESR52 (which it see

My 2cents... I'm confused by the notion that running multiple versions/profiles of firefox is at all difficult -- at least on linux: {path-to-firefox-specific-version}/firefox -P {profile-name} --class=firefox_{profile-name} -no-remote -new-instance is all you need to run an infinite numbe

On Linux, I quite regularly run multiple independent instances of Firefox -- sometimes different versions -- by running them as different users, with different home directories and hence different profiles. By means of sudo, I run them on the same display (and keyboard and mouse), with no logging o
