When I launch Firefox, and for the entire time it's open, the window title displayed in the taskbar of Windows 11, contains the words "Original profile" and an em-dash. Sometimes it's at the beginning of the window title, sometimes at the end, but it's always there.
I have used the browser.profiles.enabled setting in the configuration screen to disable profiles. I will not be using multiple profiles. So why is "Original profile" displayed?
Moreover, when I look at the about:profiles screen, I actually do not have a profile by that name. Not only is this information using screen space unnecessarily, it's not even correct.
How can I get rid of this? I turned off profiles and the only time I want to see anything about which profile I'm using, is if I specifically ask for it in the troubleshooting information.

I found out that renaming the folder "Profile Groups" seems to work.
Apparently inside the contained SQLite database file(s) in that folder, there is a database table called "Profiles" with this "name" (original profile or a localized variant of it) inside it.
The only resources about that folder I could find:
