Thanks Mike,

    That worked.  I had to use -reset-profile -migration rather than --reset-profile --migration

Try using

--reset-profile --migration

and you should get the correct behavior.

    When I do an update for FF, I've been trying to do a profile reset
    just to freshen things up.  I was doing it manually (going to
    about:support) and then clicking "Refresh Firefox" but that's a
    pain.  I saw a post here recently that said I can use:
    -reset-profile to do this from the command line.

    Two things I've noticed:

    1)If I run "%programfiles\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe"
    -reset-profile, I get the message that it can't find
    "reset-profile"  But I switch the Firefox program folder, it works
    (well, sort of).

    2)If I go to the Firefox program folder and run start /wait
    firefox.exe -reset-profile, it seems to do the reset, but it
    appears to be creating a fresh profile and I look history and
    bookmarks.

    Is this expected behaviour, or is there a bug, or am I doing
    something wrong?

    Running FF 66 (but I think it happened in 65 too).
