Mike, If we’re changing from 32-bit to 64-bit, Firefox won’t be in the same directory (C:\Program Files, instead of C:\Program Files (x86). The profile, however, sould be in the same directory. And I only used 80.0.1 because I couldn’t find another 32-bit version.

Is there a to preserve bookmarks when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit? Are you installing into the same directory? It definitely should keep those. Although it looks like you are doing a downgrade (80 to 72) which should be giving an error. In the past we had used the MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES=1 value in environment variables to get the bookmarks, but it appears that no longer works. Downgrades use a different variable: From https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/understanding-depth-profile-installation The downgrade blocking can be bypassed by setting the environment variable MOZ_ALLOW_DOWNGRADE or by passing the --allow-downgrade command line argument when running Firefox. How can we make sure that users don’t lose their bookmarks and other settings when upgrading from 32-bit to 64-bit? Thanks.
