Today's #Firefox Nightly makes the profile backup feature available by default.
The profile backup feature, when enabled, will take a snapshot of your profile and pack it into a single file that you can restore from on the same or a different machine. You can choose to encrypt the backup with a passphrase.
In a recent #Firefox Nightly, visit about:settings#sync and scroll down to the Backup section to manage it.

I am the owner of #MediaNexus and also serve as the main webmaster here.

So I have a habit of running the latest versions of #ChromeCanary and #FirefoxNightly just because I don't want to fall behind on #SecurityUpdates, to test for #compatibility and other issues and to sstay ahead of any #vulnerabilities in my #browser because I store a lot of #passwords locally in my profiles among other information that I don't #sync online.
Well, lately, every time the browser updates, I keep having to #SignIn to different services like #ChatGPT #Google for #GMail and #Microsoft #Outlook etc.
Nothing changed in my #configuration and I didn't install any #extensions that I know of which would do this.
Ever since #Windows #11 version #29550 came out, this has been a frequent occurrence.
Coincidence?
