Hello,

We have a client using Azure Virtual Desktops. Most of the users prefer to use Firefox. We are having an issue that anytime we update Firefox and reimage the virtual hosts. When the users login they get a new Firefox profile. We have to remote in and copy their old profile data to the new profile.

Is there a better way for us to handle Firefox and profiling in and Azure Virtual Desktop deployment?

As you probably discovered by now, there are two .ini files that point Firefox to the latest profile:

  • %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\installs.ini
  • %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini
  • %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (default location for profile folders)

Can you spare those files/folders when you reimage, or automate restoration of it?

Meanwhile, if it makes sense, should we flag this thread to move over to Firefox for Enterprise?

You might try setting the LegacyProfiles policy

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#legacyprofiles

It sounds like the install directory of Firefox might be changing so it's creating a new profile.
