I dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu Maverick. I share my Firefox profile between both operating systems. When I upgraded to Firefox 4 on Windows, a bunch of my extensions didn't work, and since Firefox 4 is pretty different, I decided to just start from scratch with a new profile. That worked well, and I now have a setup that works on Windows. However, I'm having problems on Ubuntu. I upgraded to Firefox 4 using the Firefox Stable Channel PPA. Firefox 4 won't run at all with the old profile. I downloaded the new standalone Mozilla profile manager for Linux and used that to create a new profile using the same folder as my new profile on Windows, However, when Firefox starts, it acts like I have a completely blank profile, with none of my bookmarks or extensions from the new profile.
What's going on here? Is it no longer possible to share Firefox profiles? I'm confused, and I'd really appreciate any guidance.
