    Thanks for the reply :)

    The PortableApps version is a separate installation of the program, so Firefox in this case, that’s self contained so that it can be used on multiple computers from a removable device. The default profile should be completely unrelated to the fully installed Firefox’s profile.

    I’ve tried it on Linux too with an AppImage, but get the same result.

      I see. Maybe the PortableApps Firefox hides profiles from the user… Either way, the other comments mention containers, which are actually even more friendly than profiles. Hope you find something that works for you!
