I am a very long user of Firefox but absolutely hate the migration to an upgraded PC. I was trying to backup my firefox settings/profile to save passwords, bookmarks, etc. When I went through the process of creating the profile, it reset my Firefox settings altogether and now populates my Windows desktop with firefox folders and files (folders like cache2, minidump, startupCache). If I delete the files, once I rerun Firefox, they come back. How do I revert to the typical setup where those files are held in the User area or otherwise? As it stands, Firefox is totally unusable.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Sounds like you created the Firefox profile folder on the desktop. When you do this then you should NOT use the Profile Manager to DELETE the profile and DELETE the files as that would remove all the files on the desktop (i.e. not only the Firefox files, but all the shortcuts as well) with no way to recover. Deleting the profile to make it disappear from the Profile Manager is okay, but you should remove the files that belong to Firefox yourself in Windows File Explorer. You can create a new profile and let Firefox create it, .e. do not use Choose or only use Choose to register an empty folder or a copied Firefox profile.
