The makers of Firefox made Firefox disappear up its own butt.
Firefox has had Firefox profiles since probably day one. "Firefox -p" invokes the profile manager.
I discovered today on a customer's computer that Firefox now has a second Firefox profiles feature inside an existing profile which can be found for example by clicking on the Firefox menu then click on 'Profiles'. It's called exactly the same thing as the first feature, and these extra profiles do not show up in the original profile manager. This of course won't cause any confusion at all, but the important point to note here is *this is how it works in Chrome*.
<facepalm> It's like when I discover a customer has a Documents folder in their Documents folder, usually with a similar contents list to the parent Documents folder but not quite.
Did the devs forget that the Profile Manager already existed or something? Was this a desperate attempt to avoid doing useful dev work, or are the higher-ups responsible for this idiocy?
