User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180509235650

Steps to reproduce:

I would like to be able to refresh around 800 firefox profiles, without having to do it manually from GUI


Actual results:

there seems to be no command or explicit documentation about how to do it automatically, except the manual "refresh firefox"


Expected results:

a command argument or other tool should permit to refresh firefox, i.e. firefox --refresh-profile

Can you try -reset-profile and see if it does what you want?

Thank you for your reply,
I tried this, but it removes bookmarks and saved passwords, controry to the "refresh firefox" functionality (which seems to be available only from GUI).

Add the -migration parameter and see if that does it (-reset-profile and -migration)
