Waterfox Current misuse of the profile for Waterfox Classic on Linux

[grahamperrin]

Steps

1. Have Waterfox Current 2019.10 alongside Waterfox Classic 2019.12
2. set Waterfox Current to not use the profile for Waterfox Classic
3. install Waterfox Current 2020.01
4. launch Waterfox Current 2020.01

Expected

5. reuse of the profile that was the default for Waterfox Current 2019.10

Actual result

5. Waterfox Current 2020.01 default selection of the profile that should be reserved solely for use by Waterfox Classic.

Maybe the entry for 72DFCAC74B9864F7 was wrong, or absent, before I made the correction. Just a guess.
