FAQ

Q: Firefox shows two profiles: default and default-release?

A: Modern Firefox versions use default-release as the default profile for stable Firefox release, so you can hide the default profile by right-clicking and choosing Hide Firefox default.

If you want to double check which Firefox profile is the default one, open Firefox and enter about:profiles in the address bar and find the profile with Default Profile set to yes.
