Prevent Firefox from exporting settings to Waterfox
I recently installed Waterfox browser and Firefox automatically exported all settings to Waterfox. I want to use both browsers independently.How can I configure Waterfox differently from Firefox. I hope someone can help.
Thanks guys

Sounds like Waterfox may be using your Firefox Profile.

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profilename"
You need to create a unique Profile for Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
