I've noticed two issues with the profile reset.
1)Often, when Firefox loads after I've done the: --reset-profile
--migration --- Firefox still gives the message "Looks like you've
reinstalled Firefox. Want us to clean it up for a fresh, like-new
experience?" But I just cleaned it up.
2)If I click Refresh Firefox from the above message, then it loses some
of the settings I created with policies.json and gets rid of the Menu
bar and Bookmarks toolbar.
Any idea why these things are happening?

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).
