User Profiles for Add-ons

Proposal: use two different profiles.

 

Two Profile with two versions

  • Easy way to switch profile between user and admin
  • Version: User uses 60.x on Swiss PCs
  • Admin: 59.x  on George-BG
  • Addons must working automatically, hence activated, deactivated depending on version –> There is an add-on compability check
  • George-BG is admin profile for Thunderbird
  • Use a version where all add-ons work
