No his answer is from a parallel universe where all this works. If

All history is gone then. favicon storing changed in Firefox / Gecko 55
and caused this change. Indexdb starage is also incomapatible and so on.

OK, you got me. You loose bookmarks. And you are probably right about
the "parallel universe".
I have been using my primary profile. I deleted everything that looked
like it was saving things for "just in case" including the storage
sub-directory. Ran 2.53.1. Copied that profile to WXP 2.49.5. The
bookmarks didn't make it.
And, all this has made my point about changing things "under the
covers", quietly, and making it appear that nothing has changed.
I have never blindly followed an "upgrade path", on OSs or apps. Many
upgrades aren't. I install the new along side the old, run the new as
as close as possible with the old data. And, if at some point I prefer
the new, and no longer see a need for the old, I delete the old. That is
why I now have seven SM plus PM and FM. And right now they all have
negatives for me. Failure I think I am prepared for. I am not
accustomed to having to look for tricks to make the old look like the new.
And it increases my support for separating things so they are easier to
manage and recover. Which I will discuss again elsewhere.
