I tried to modify the files profiles.ini and installs.ini to have my "old" profile but this did not work: when I call firefox I have a warning pretending that I am using a too old version of firefox (??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) which could destroy my configs and bookmarks.... Then I have no other choice: or I create a new profile, or I quit.... So, I downgraded from version 68 (from my new f30 install), to the previous one (66). and firefox works like this. Doing updates, I will exclude firefox untill this strange behaviour disappears. Who can understand?
