Hello, Sorry for my poor English.

I manage the network for my school. I use roaming profile and quota. At each new version of Firefox, I’ve got a new default directory for older version. At the end the size of the profile directory exceed the quota. Is it possible to limit size or number of these creation?

Thank you

Firefox would only create a new profile if you try to use this profile with an older Firefox version (i.e. downgrade), if you update Firefox and never downgrade then this shouldn't happen.

Firefox 67 and newer use a dedicated profile for each Firefox installation and lock this profile to prevent other Firefox installations from using this profile.
