> A profile folder has everything. You can copy it, back it up, plug it into a completely new Firefox installation later.

These new profiles seem to be slightly different from the old ones?

[edit: ignore most of the stuff below, see replies]

The new UI doesn't show your other regular profiles and when you create a new profile via the new UI, it also doesn't create a separate profile folder (it's part of your active profile). They're like sub profiles... probably to allow everything to be synced via a Firefox account?

We can still move the profile folder. The difference is that what's created with the new UI is part of that folder (the old about:profiles page is still there and old style profiles are still supported).

It still creates separate folders but you're right that about:profiles seems to treat them as the same.

When you open about:profiles in both your "new" profiles, you can see that even though it has the same name, the path changes.

So I think in effect they still behave like profiles before, just with some extra logic on top so they have names, icons and so on.

		You're right. For some reason I couldn't see the folders being created, but after restarting Firefox (about:profiles required me to do after creating profiles with the new UI), they are created. Do you know if there's any way to have old profiles showing on this new UI?
