Well, looks like it has just been fixed. Thanks.
Yes, thanks @drgibbon. Real life and work meant that I just stopped paying any attention to this and other gists that various people used. Sorry for the problems.
No worries, thanks for sorting it.
@drgibbon, I just experienced this new profile creation issue (with the current version of the script). Switching back firefox to my old profile got the issue solved as a workaround.
But in my case, it may be because I just dropped the ESR 68 version (Slackware 64 14.2 last package). Will see for the next release.
@downwater You'll trigger it any time you change the location on the disk for a particular Firefox channel (which the old script used to do on every upgrade, but now fixed).
@drgibbon, thanks for the reply, I understand now.
@Ponce
I am wondering if you got the Thunderbird script working and if it is available?
Thanks Ponce!

link in row 109 should be fixed:
DESKTOPFILE=https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/source/xap/mozilla-firefox/firefox.desktop
than some other stuff accordingly, rows 17X+, but I dont know how to do it properly.
And many thanks for this script!
Author abandoned his code, use my fork instead https://gist.github.com/ardrabczyk/ff5890294d9df5b2e9950c63b6521a65
I don't expect that this will be fixed any time soon. Unfortunately it's probably done some damage to Firefox's reputation on Slackware too, since people blame Firefox for the upgrade process triggering a new profile creation, instead of this script.
