    No thanks to Edge dev/support team, After more than 1.5 years I finally just fixed this issue by creating a new profile in Firefox then removed it immediately, now Edge detects my default Firefox profile! Which proves that it was an Edge detection issue not Firefox's.

Historically we have had issues with recognizing the profile paths for non standard installations (policy driven installs, portable installs etc) so it was better for me to ask. But yes, this would be our bug and not FFs. I have taken a bug on this in our roadmap.

I'm sorry but it's been a month since my last comment and there is nothing new !
And Mr Deleted has accepted your comment as "Best Response" and I didn't say it's the best response because I was promised A LOT about this to be fixed! So I will wait for an actual fix so I can mark a comment as best response!
I've been emailing you guys and sending you feedback plus this thread for A YEAR about this issue and there is still nothing! And nothing even is planned in here https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback although it shouldn't be listed in this list since it's a simple quick fix! You guys already added "Edge Legacy Import" in a matter of days after Windows 10 v2004 released but not Firefox ?!
I have literally more than 1000 bookmarks in Firefox and hundreds of login info and probably thousands of history stuff, I need to move them all to Edge but I can't, So as long as I can't then I won't use Edge until then.
