New profiles feature ignores existing profiles functionality

Making moves

Profiles are not actually a new feature in Firefox, but they were not as easily accessible before v150.0. The only way to see profiles back then was to start from the command line: firefox -P. Evidently, the developers who created and promoted the "new" profiles feature were unaware of the existing profiles functionality. The result is that the new profiles feature knows nothing about pre-existing profiles except for the default one and the old profiles functionality knows nothing about profiles created with the new profiles feature. Can this confusing redundancy be resolved?

Quite improbable.  Anyway, please use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox for support issues.  From there, bugs can be reported if it is confirmed to be a flaw.
