User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build ID: 20150710004007 Steps to reproduce: On a mac (though the issue is not platform specific): 1. /Applications/FirefoxDeveloperEdition.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P 2. Select "default" (and explicit not dev-edition-default) 3. Ensure that Use the selected profile button is selected 4. [ optional ] Delete the dev-edition-default profile is deleted 5. Close firefox 6a. /Applications/FirefoxDeveloperEdition.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox OR 6b. Select the Firefox Developer Edition icon on the dock 7. [optional] /Applications/FirefoxDeveloperEdition.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P Actual results: 8. Firefox opens with the "dev-editition-default" profile 9. If 4 and 7 were followed above, additionally note that a new "dev-edition-default" exists Expected results: 8. Firefox opens with the "default" profile 9. If 4 and 7 were followed above, there should only be one profile called "default".
Brian, can you look at this or redirect to someone who knows more about this? Maybe this is just a dupe of bug 1098986 (but with much better steps and description, so I'd dupe that bug to this one rather than vice versa.)

Forwarding this to Panos since he knows the profile stuff

Yes, this is the same bug as 1098986 and others I've see in the past, if memory serves. If one wants the old profile behavior, these are the required steps to restore it: https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox/Developer_Edition/Reverting
