How to recover old default profile and remove new default profile?
Due to power cut i wasn't able to shutdown my PC(windows 7). When i started it again i started it in safe mode as the i got the dialogue" Windows did not shutdown properly choose in which mode to start your PC.."
I chose safe mode and then restarted the PC normally. But when i started FF , it behaved as if it was the first time installed and all my settings were gone.
Opened the profile manager and it showed only 1 default profile where as i have 2(default and another profile). This new default profile is completely new.
I found my profile folder. It contains 3 Profiles. My earlier default and another one i had created. And the third profile is the new default one. How do i switch back to the earlier 2

Hi! You could copy your old informations in your new profile (and since you had two old profiles you want to restore, you could create also another new profile for the second). It's mostly about copy-pasting between folders, more information here: Recovering important data from an old profile.

That would not help me. As it doesn't completely restore all settings like(extensions)
I solved the problem by modifying the profiles.ini file
Thank you!
