Firefox does not open. Keep saying the profile is missing. There is no profile of AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

I'm on Windows 7 OS.
I read a lot of similar and related problems anywhere as my own, but none of them has a solution that works.

I get the error message saying "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I checked Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

Only thing it is a folder called Firefox and in that one a file called crash report.

There is no not called "profiles.ini" file so I have no way to access the Profile Manager and uninstall + remove manually all related Firefox folders/files and reinstall Firefox does not solve my problem.

I have no idea what to do to get out of here to go to solve this problem or difficulty why Firefox doesn't work anymore even when the reinstalled.

Have you tried to rename the Mozilla folder?

Also try to delete the folder to the location of the cache in AppData\Local.

  • C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    Hi Matthew,

    If you use Bridge CC, update to the latest version 6.2. Adobe Bridge CC 6.2 version now available! Adobe content corner

    1. Please, do a right-click on the bridge on the desktop icon and select "Run as Administrator".
    2. If this does not help, reset the Bridge preferences and then try it.

    Steps: -.

    Start Adobe Bridge, and immediately press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS down) until the dialogue box reset settings appears.

    Select all three options - reset preferences, reset Standard Workspaces and all miniature Purge Cache - and then click OK.

    Export as Adobe PDF does not open automatically, and the downs of drop on all my options do not work... Help, please

    I need to be able to easily convert PDF into word documents, which is why I got it, but in the acrobat reader software recent update/upgrade the export to PDF option doesn' automatically open, nor the dropdowns work to "create a pdf" "change pdf" etc.

  • I installed the beta version of lightroom 5 when he was 1, it does not open, I installed the current version through creative cloud, it will not open either.

    I installed the beta version of lightroom 5 when he was 1, it does not open, I installed the current version through creative cloud, it will not open either. I tried to delete the preferences.agprefs file, did not help. Lightroom 4 runs normally. I use Windows 8.1

    They said that nothing happens when they begin to LR.  It is a symptom that began with LR 5.5 or whatever the first version which was installed after that, where for me deletion of content but do not delete the folder SLCache, itself, is what worked for me:

    Different things to try are listed here, where the Solution 4 is what worked for me:

  • My CD does not open to insert the disc. What should I do?

    I try to open my CD to insert another but it does not open. The green light doesn't even come. What should I do?

    Access the list of unity in workstation. Right click of the mouse. Eject appears in the context menu? If so, the left mouse click.

    If no joy:

    Windows output to power. Examine the control panel of the device to CD. Locate a small hole. Carefully insert a tip of a paper clip or a small wire blunt into the hole until you feel a slight 'give '. Apply modest pressure to release the mechanism. The tray should open.

    To test:

    With the computer and Windows to the top of race Amend, insert a known-playable CD. If no answer, you probably need to replace the uinit.

  • Photoshop CS6 does not open, stuck on the screen 'digitization of the presets' loading / Mac 10.11

    I've just updated my adobe suite, now, photoshop does not open, stuck on loading screen "scanning presets."

    Hi brentb,

    Would suggest you to run Photoshop with the SHIFT key and click Yes to skip loading additional plugins and check if it works very well.

    If this is not the case, share less detail for assistance:

    • What version of Photoshop are you using?
    • Operating system: mac or windows?
    • It is the first launch or it was working fine before?

    Kind regards

    Installed Firefox 17.0.1.

    Drop-down lists will not open now - for example, Twitter login drop-down list (so cannot connect to Twitter). Drop-down lists has worked for all the previous versions of Firefox.

    Its happens very rarely...

    No need to do it each time...
