I have this message after returning from nightly version to the stable one: ``` Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. ```

Yes, you should use different profiles for different releases. Profiles may not keep reverse compatibility.
