I think this is a good indicator that it's always the default profile leaking into a secondary profile, never the other way around.

I can confirm it's always the primary profile storage leaking into other profiles. I've seen this problem off and on over the last few months.

Another note: you don't have to have the primary profile open and then load another profile. Loading the secondary profile from an application shortcut directly to that profile will sometimes trigger this as well. As will switching from a secondary profile to a third profile.

It's always the primary profile storage that leaks, though, regardless of which profile is opened and where it's opened from.

      Recently experienced this as well - no clue how it happened but it's very disconcerting.

        +1 to this. It's also resulted in the extensions in the non-default profile being "reset" to the extensions in the default profile.

          Vlad Scenario below:

          • Orion window with Profile 1 (Instance 1) open
          • Orion window with Profile 2 (Instance 2) open

          If Instance 1 crashes for any reason, a dialog box appears with a button to "Reopen" Orion. If reopened, the new instance will look like it's on Profile 1 (i.e. will show bookmarks, pinned tabs, etc. exclusive to Profile 1) but it will actually be using the cache/cookies of Profile 2. I verified this by opening Gmail and seeing which account was logged in.

          To resolve this, I had to quit both instances of Orion (instance 2 and the newly reopened instance 1) then start a new instance of Profile 1 and open a new instance of Profile 2 from it.

          For reference, Profile 2 in this scenario is my Synced profile, and Profile 1 is my Default profile.

          I wish I could reproduce this further and help diagnose better but I don't know of any easy way to trigger a crash on demand.

            Vlad Apologies, I didn't seem to get an email notification for this. I have not been able to reliably reproduce it. I had the default profile open and a secondary one did not have the app open. I opened the secondary profile and noticed that the extensions in the toolbar had changed. The history is there, as are logins, etc, but the secondary profile's extensions (what's installed & active) have been replaced by the default profile's extensions. Additionally, if I re-install in the secondary profile one of the extensions that disappeared, it is restored to the previous status (so the storage isn't wiped)... it's just that the Orion profile forgets that it's installed.

                @Vlad this was marked as Done but I can still reproduce on the latest RC (0.99.131.2-rc, March 3).
                When I open my "Home" profile, I'm occasionally logged into websites with my accounts from the "Work" (default) profile.

                  Interestingly, I haven't experienced this bug since last month's fix. I was getting it pretty often when I last commented.

                    glhrmv admittedly this seems to occur less often than before on my end as well.
