Will the profile name still be stored in profiles.ini? We actually edit this to 
force all desktops to have the same profile name.

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=MMC_USER_60
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/MMC_USER_60

Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Downgrade Protection and Profile Per 
Installation in Firefox 68

Firefox will only create a new profile if it determines that the install 
directory has changed from the previous Firefox that used this profile. So if 
you have Firefox installed in two different directories, they will use two 
different profiles.

New versions of Firefox will not create new profiles since they use the same 
install directory.

What do you mean with new profile per install?
Will the version number become part of the name of the profile directory?
Or will it do the same guid-madness that already causes Windows to forget 
Firefox as default-browser with each update?

Will Firefox compare on each start its version with the one in the profile 
directory, and if its own version is higher then trigger a migration to a new 
profile directory? Using the newest of the existing ones as source?

Does this only affect the directory in appdata, or also in localappdata?

What will happen with all the old directories? They already consume a lot of 
disk space.
