Profile/application version relationship

Post by back2themoon » 2018-11-13, 16:36

Let's say I've backed up a few profiles while using Pale Moon 28.0.0, a clean profile and a "full" one. How safe/recommended would it be it restore them if the installed Pale Moon version has been updated in the meanwhile, to 28.2.0 for example?

Is it best to always match a profile with the installed version, does it only matter for milestone changes (27 vs. 28) or is it completely irrelevant?

Any profile that worked in 28.0 will work in 28.2.

It generally only really matters with milestone changes, and "moving forward" should never be a problem, so using 28.0 profile loaded into 28.2 is perfectly fine.
