for over a month now firefox has been loading links from skype or an email client in a different profile. i use 2 browsers. firefox and waterfox. they both have profiles in the same profile folder. i never had this issue until a month ago. i'm not sure what i did to mess things up. i wish i knew so i could fix it myself. i've tried reinstall both firefox and waterfox. i also tried making sure the firefox profile doesn't have read only checked. it doesnt but it's a blue box. which means windows doesn't know. thats what i read online. i also tried migrating my profiles and deleting the old ones. this didn't work either. well for both issues of read only marked with a blue square and that firefox opens links outside of itself in a different profile. regarding the firefox and waterfox shortcuts. i use "-P profilename -no-remote" so that i can use both browsers simultaneously. as i said i never had an issue until a month ago. i really wish i knew what i had done! it's such a pain having to wait for firefox to load a whole new browser because it thinks that other profile is the right one. please help me with this. thank you for your time.
