How to create a fresh profile in about:profiles?
I was able to create a new profile using Firefox's alternative profile manager.
Important: Before you can start the Profile Manager, Firefox must be completely closed.
- Press Windows Key+R on the keyboard. A Run dialog will open.
- In the Run dialog box, type in:
firefox.exe -P
Note: You can use-P
,-p
or-ProfileManager
.- Click
OK
. The Firefox Profile Manager (Choose User Profile) window should open.
It might be easier to do it manually.
Go here: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Then create a new folder.
Then edit %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini
And add a new section like:
[Profile1]
Name=my-test-profile
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/the-name-of-the-folder
You can also change this to 0
in the file to get it to prompt for the profile you want:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
