I have a new computer. I installed 18.0.2 on it, started it to create the xxxxx.default folder in Profiles, exited out, then copied over all of the files in the default profile folder on my original machine. When I started Firefox again, absolutely nothing was different: no bookmarks, no history, nothing. I am posting this from the original computer.
