I always run a single installation of TB with several different profiles
by starting it with the -profile command line option. Having belatedly
decided to upgrade from 78.14.0 I expected it to load the old profiles
and upgrade the format if necessary.

In fact 115 ignores the old profiles and will run only if I create a new
account which it places in its default profile location as usual. Have
they changed the profile format again, or the command line options, or ....?
