  I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible"and Firefox does not open.

  I tried press windows key + R on my computer and open %appdata%\Mozilla\ - and rename the folder labeled "Firefox", but he said that "the action cannot be complete because the folder or the file that is open in another program" I didn't open it and try to restart the pc, but still no help

  A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

  You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

  • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
  • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
  • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

• My laptop does not recognize my headset and I tried EVERYTHING!

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 1 of fairly new carbon, and this morning I was with a pair of headphones to have a video conference. Then later tried to use another (standard iPhone headphones) and it's as if nothing is plugged in (his fate of laptop speakers).

  I tried to restart, restore, RealTek audio to uninstall and reinstall driver but I get nothing.

  I also chose to show all disabled devices and headphones are not displayed even then.

  The headset works fine on my phone and I tried with another helmet and the same thing happens.

  I searched on the community positions but nothing.

  Help, please!

  Christian

  So I just got the phone to Lenovo technical support and it is as I expected a hardware problem, which they will fix (once the new part happens). At least, I have covered all the basics first.

  Thank you!

• I use firefox on a computer with Windows XP and Ubuntu, with the card-Firefox profile in a separate, partition do not have to remove the 'blocking of parent' whenever I want to use Firefox.

  I have Firefox in the Windowspartition of my computer and the Linuxpartition from my computer, I have a third partition where I store my personal data, such as my Firefox-profile-map and my download card.
  If I'm not manually delete 'Parent Lock' Firefox will not start it is already an open session.
  It would be better not to have this system of parentlock.

  It would be better to use two separate profiles for each operating system and synchronize data between the two, because there can be other problems as well with the caches that use current versions of Firefox and other files that store the paths of dependent files of the OS.

• surf to Propelleheads.se using Firefox causes the screen to go black and PC unresposive.

  My PC works fine and no problem, recently upgraded to widows 10 - no problem. All of a sudden (and oddly enough) I have this error. I need activate the new software of reason on Propellerheads.se site. The site loaded and I saw the image for about 2 seconds and then the screen went black. The music I was paying more (so I knew that Windows was still running) but the PC was insensitive - Alt.Tab, start, Control/Alt/Delete non of them worked. The Sleep button worked but when I woke up Windows screen remains black. Only has a hard reset. So I tried to access the Propellerheads.se with Microsoft Edge - it worked fine. So I uninstalled Firefox, made default client of edge and made the activation. Then reinstalled Firefox, but still the same problem. I have reset the default user agent, delete all the cookies/history etc., Firefox update, run in safe mode, disabled plugins. Yet Propellerheads.se will not load successfully. I'm not running edge - my preference is Firefox - BUT!

• My computer is very slow. I tried everything and bought a tune-up, but it it a little relieved.

  I went to the site of Mircosoft and he gave me an analysis of updated drivers and that being said, I had 9 out-of-date drivers. As I am not very computer would it be a good thing to buy this and update drivers. Would it fold my speed and performance?

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

  This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

  If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

• My firefox does not load and I tried everything. What should I do?

  Hi, here's the problem somehow an hour ago my firefox just stopped working, it does not load any page, all I have is a blank page and the signal that firefox loads, no errors, no nothing. I tried the steps detailed here:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can

  Can you help me?

  Thank you!

  It was very good work. Play well.
