This is technically still an issue, I have two AAD/O365 connected profiles in Edge, previous to this update both profiles would display a "sign in" button which did nothing. Now that no longer happens, both profiles are signed in, but for both I get the message "Sync isn’t available for this account." with no indication as to why. This does seem to be a bug because on another computer where Edge Dev is installed and uses one of the AAD/O365 connected profiles syncing appears to work.
Thanks,

@Tom_Fox Last I checked Chrome does not give the ability to theme bookmarks, so I don't get the consternation about this. Many more pressing things like sync!

I still have a problem with app which using external certificate.
@Mateusz_Romanowski this sounds like something our support agents may be able to help with. Try opening up a support ticket on https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

@ahl2ndc your profile type is determined by what kind of email you used to sign into it with. Signing in with a personal Microsoft account (outlook.com, hotmail.com, etc.) creates a personal account, and signing in with an account your workplace or school created and controls (for example, I work at Microsoft, so my microsoft.com email) creates a work or school account.
When you're actively using your work account, you should have an option at edge://settings/profiles/multiProfileSettings to enable the feature, although @fpintos we've noticed that some people don't have a link to that page on edge://settings/profiles. Then, if you click on a link in a different application (for example, Outlook) that navigates to a location in your work's domain, protected by its login, etc., and the most recently used Edge window was for your personal account, it will trigger the automatic switching logic.

Changing the "language & content" has no effect.
@AlanPlum we recently found one possible cause of the temperature being wrong, and it's that the location isn't being set properly. Can you check to see if your location is correct?

@PottyZA it was favorites sync that we re-enabled a few weeks ago, not history. History shouldn't be rolled out to anybody yet.
Jan 23 2020 04:51 PM
@AaronMcHale can you sign out of your account? If so, we've seen instances where signing out and then signing back in fixes sync for some people.

is that hard to add an Edit option to edit the url of the quick link in the NTP instead of Rename only?
@little_terry what would be the difference between editing the URL and just creating a new tile?

@josh_bodnerWhy red color is used when cookies are blocked?
I have blocked third party cookies, which I think is norm, so almost every site I visit, I see more or less this icon. I am fine with icon, but why red color is added recently, it should be monochrome. It is not dangerous to block cookies, mere monochrome icon is enough as in last 2019 dev build.
I believe Browser UI should be non intrusive and simple.

Thank you Josh - and excuse my bad attitude.
When you write "sign into it with", does that mean signed in to the browser, so I can synchronize my favorites and so on or is it enough to sign in on a Office 365 sign in page? I have multiple profiles that are almost all signed into different Office 365 tenants. But only one profile where I'm signed into the browser itself. Just to clarify.
How does the browser determine if a link is protected by my office 365 (work) login? I have seen multiple times, that a link is opened in a not-logged-into-browser profile, where I would expect it to open in my main profile (where I have logged into the browser with my work Office 365 user).
Here are some examples:
Yammer
Azure DevOps
xxx.sharepoint.com (our Office 365 SharePoint tenant)
Can the Outlook 365 link protection be messing with the logic of which profile to open?

@josh_bodner the position for instance. If I want to edit the 2nd tile creating a new one will be set to the last right.

Collections Export to Word still results in an error.
And there is a new issue, where I cannot add a page as an app (page is not added or does not show up).
EDIT: The pop-up to Install the site as app shows up, when i click on any url or search anything in search bar.

I wish to report an issue with collections
I have stored my edge profile somewhere else.I used a junction to link it back to default location. Everything on edge works fine like this except collections. The collections tab doesn't respond in this configuration all no collection is visible. I can't create a new collection or do anything . Everything becomes normal once I keep the profile folder back and remove the junction. Please resolve this issue as only this feature doesn't work.

Dennis5mile
So you are saying all the other icons in the menu don't look like what they represent just because they don't have a color? Your argument makes zero sense.
The outlined icons also LOOK perfectly like folder CAN be easily identified as a folder by anyone. Saying it doesn't look like a folder sounds more like an excuse to impose your personal preference on everyone else. Looking like a folder is not the problem here.
The real issue with the yellow icons, whether your like them or not, is they are extremely intrusive and distracting. Modern UI should be less polluted, get out of the way and let the content be the focus. In this case the favorite icons are stealing all the attention specially in dark mode. Not to mention they are completely inconsistent with the rest of the browser which uses a much cleaner, modern and refined design.
To me, they look ugly, outdated and very distracting to a point it becomes unconformable to me every time I open a new tab. But I know some people still like them and I respect that.
The best option is allowing us to toggle between the new modern design consistent with the rest browser or the legacy yellow icons for those who prefer them. That way, everyone can use the one they like the most which gives the best experience for THEM!
Your opinion is not the only one that matters or the "right" one for everyone. Yellow icons might be "exactly" what they should be for YOU, but they are NOT for ME and a lot of other people.

I cannot add a page as an app (page is not added or does not show up).
@ph_007 looks like other people (including myself) are seeing the same thing. I'll make sure we have a bug filed for it!
