    @stapp I feel absolutely terrible at the moment about that. I sincerely apologize. I should not have made assumptions. Typically I am pretty good about that and say in general "guys/gals" kind of things in many of my posts. However, big mistake here on my part. Sorry. I hope you have a wonderful day. :oops: :thumb:

    No worries at all WildByDesign :thumb:

    Now lets get back to CCleaner erasing Mozilla and Thunderbird profiles.

    Why?
    Because of this new version? I had no issues on Chrome's profiles.

    Not Chrome, but PaleMoon was affected.
    I have used .6104 some hours ago and it has modified the file prefs.js in the profile-folder and has changed: "browser.download.lastDir"
    After starting of the browser a much smaller prefs.ini can be seen and the config is "borked".

    But Palemoon has created the file invalidprefs.js, so i had a "backup" :cool: and i only needed to change "browser.download.lastDir" to a correct value and i copied the modified file to prefs.js.
    Now all is fine.

    Btw.: "Firefox - Last Download Location" seems to removed now (v.6105)

    It's times like this that I am glad that I wait for the Slim version before updating! :)

    Indeed - also for Thunderbird, which also had issues.

    Maybe Piriform hired some Microsoft or Symantec engineers, or maybe Malwarebytes engineers looking for a new job. :p

    I probably too. I was lucky enough avoiding any troubles with CCleaner since the very first day of usage years ago and naturally I don't want to change it. Yeah, I have had troubles once but thanks to Enhancer (winapp2).

    Yep, I second that !
    Too many members to mention them all who keep us informed about CCleaner updates and issues (in case they happen). So thanks all :thumb:

    How long the slim builds are behind the full installers?

    Hmm, that's pretty long. I probably will stick with (install) the full builds deferred by a few days as a precaution that everything's OK.
