- Q: https://www.firefox.com/en-GB/firefox/150.0/releasenotes
states “Backing up a profile to a file is now available to all Windows 10 and 11 users…”
but the linked page https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-backup “Last updated: 1 week ago”
states “Note: The ability to create backup files is currently only available to users on Windows 10…”
however the functionality to create a backup file locally seems to work on Windows 11 with Firefox 150.
Could you please clarify which is correct, is the only outstanding functionality now adding this for macOS/Linux?
- Q: “do you think i contribute code to firefox even if i never worked on a browser before and dont really do much low level coding?”
