My profile keeps disappearing after closing Firefox. In order to open it to the top, I have to keep re - create a new. How to fix?

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and no dice. If I don't re - create the new profile, I get the error message that the profile is missing or inaccessible while trying to open firefox. I have to open the browser by clicking on the new profile, that I just created in the Manager profile area.

This may be due to a problem with the file profiles.ini.

It is probably best to delete the file profiles.ini to force Firefox to create a new default profile

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

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

  • Error after closing Firefox window!

    Hello

    After closing Firefox, an error window appears. And after closing this window appears a smaller.

    Please help me.

    What are the mistakes you are seen to appear?

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker. Once you do, you can turn off this add-on and report the problem to the developer of this - on Add.

    A few other basic problems you can try things is the following:
    Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

    Updating your graphics driver (Firefox uses the graphics card for rendering and an outdated graphics card driver can cause problems. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers.

    Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

    Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.

  • Closed Firefox tabs without giving me a warning, even if I have checked "notify me when I close the tabs.

    So far, Firefox always pop - up would be the "danger; you are about to close x number of tabs"window when I tried closing Firefox with several tabs open. Today, however, it just closes directly on my desktop, regardless of the number of tabs are open. "Warn me when I close the tabs" checked in my menu "Tab of Options", but this still does not work. I always get warned if trying to open too many tabs at once, but he refuses to tell me when I close my tabs.

    I tried checking and unchecking options, restart the computer, checked my plugins for exceeded those (the only potential problem is Shockwave Flash 17, but the other options to aide said Shockwave Flash 16 was the problem), sought user.js and went almost all the suggestions on the forums. Nothing's worked, and at this point I'm stumped.

    (Also, I'd rather have Firefox clear my history when I go out, so just having my restored tabs when I restart Firefox is not my preferred option).

    This problem started this afternoon; It was fine earlier in the day. This is due to an update of windows, an update of Firefox, or some strange virus?

    THE SECOND UPDATE: I managed to locate the problem. Tab Mix Plus add-on is apparently not compatible with the latest Firefox update. Turn it off seems to have solved the problem for now.

  • Mini Mac OS 10.8.5 - all settings, modules, etc. completely disappear to reopen after closing firefox (seems completely reset)

    I tried as much as I could find to fix - firefox is not set to reset the story with each new reboot, and I was by the audit of the my file is not locked in the profiles. I do not have a lot of folders and files - prefs is this normal to have several of them. At one point I tried to remove all except one of them because I read here that it would be creating a new file automatically. He did, I checked that it was unlocked, but still, at each closing Firefox, everything gets reset as if I just download the program. Any ideas?

    Using the latest Firefox for my os on a mac (just deleted the old and downloaded it again today).

    Thank you

    Try to remove the file profiles.ini (i.e. move the folder to the trash).

    You can also delete all the folder in the profiles folder that Firefox was created because he wasn't able to safety profile for the file profiles.ini file.

  • Web site will not disappear after closing the tab AND restart Firefox.

    I went to a website to watch a video, and when I had finished I closed the tab on what the site was. When I had finished on my computer, I closed Firefox. The reopening of Firefox later he restored the page. I don't know why it does this, and I can't make it disappear. I deleted all my cookies/cache, etc., as well as do a virus scan and nothing can tell me why this is happening. It's pretty boring, and I would that my browser to work properly. I've recently updated to the latest version of Firefox, so everything is up-to-date. I'll take any suggestions anyone can throw on me because I am fresh out of ideas.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Profile corupts itself after I firefox ever single time of exit.

    Whenever I have quit Firefox and try to reopen it, I get the error message that the profile is renamed or missing. I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox, I tried the Firefox update, and I created a new profile with "firefox.exe Pei." Nothing works. "firefox.exe Pei" doing a job that I can open Firefox, how ever as soon as I get out it loses the profile again and the only way to open it is to create a new profile with "firefox.exe Pei." An interesting point to note is that none of the profiles are renamed or moved. Are all where it suppose to be and with he correct name. After hours of research, I am at a loss to know what to do next. If you need more info on the situation or my system specs please let me know. I am running windows 7 pro. Thank you in advance.

    Yes.
    This is the correct file, but the name of the profile (profile / s22fw6ll.default) does not match the profile name kuwddskl. Default user), which shows the screenshot of others.
    If you still have the profile folder that begin with kuw then try to replace the name of the wrong path with the correct profile name.

  • All my addons disappeared after that Firefox has forced me to "Refresh".

    When I got to the top of Firefox, he decided for some reason any that he needed to refresh or reset. He said that it was important to all my addons, passwords, the history etc. But for some reason, all my addons are missing. Is that what I can do about it? I'm on a mac by the way

    HI rockarolla,.
    There will be a folder of old data of Firefox on your desktop. To restore data from this file, you can retrieve data from an old profile or you can reinstall the add ons.

  • Closing "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" allows the auto-recharges. or continue to deny, but without informing you?

    In Options/Advanced/general Options, that I 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' selected.

    However there are some cases - for example, when a page has me 'pending' temporarily when the site is too busy ("we're going to keep you in the queue and will warn you if the website is available"), with the "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" bar appears in the upper part.

    If I left the bar remain without any intervention on my part, can the page REALLY let me know when the site is available? Or how about if I click Close (X) on the bar, which in fact disappear. Is Firefox and then allowing the page reload, or is it always block but just to remove the notification that it is done? (A third choice, by clicking the "Authorize" button is essentially useless in this case because it just instantly reappears.)

    Bottom line, I strive to make sure the page that's too busy REALLY can let know me when it is available, without having to change all of the global settings.

    If I left the bar remain without any intervention on my part, can the page REALLY let me know when the site is available? Or how about if I click Close (X) on the bar, which in fact disappear. Is Firefox and then allowing the page reload, or is it always block but just to remove the notification that it is done?

    If you do not click allow, Firefox will ignore a metatag to refresh as follows in order to reload the page every 30 seconds:

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">
    

    But as you point out, by clicking on allow made that immediately reload the page and the same triggers InfoBar again. One of the many reasons that this feature is more trouble that it's worth.

    If you leave the display bar or if you 'x' of the bar, the scripts can always reload the page. In other words, this function does NOT stop something similar to the following to reload the page every 60 seconds:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.reload()}, 60000);
    </script>

    So what is happening on the page in question depends on how it is designed.

  • FlashGot suddenly causes FF hang after closing. Takes about a minute to stop the execution. Why?

    During 2 days, I noticed that FF does not close the output. The process continues to run for about a minute, using up to 100% of my resources. After the suite Mozilla troubleshooting guide, I found the culprit to be Flashgot. I can run ALL my extensions and plug-ins and don't have this problem. But at the point where I have activate Flashgot, this problem occurs. What is strange is that I've been running FF and Flashgot for a year with no problems. Even after updating both versions the latest, everything was fine. It was only a problem in the last 2 days. In addition, exactly the same thing is happening on my wife's Office, as well. Once again, that in the last 2 days. I tried uninstall/reinstall the two FF and Flashgot, but to no avail. What is going on?

    Create a new profile and delete the old one seemed to solve the problem. Why the problem occurred in the first place is beyond me. But after creating the new profile, restore all my favorites and reinstall Flashgot, everything seems to be a behavior wonderfully. For anyone else having similar problems, I recommend that you create the new profile. It is easy to do, as long as you save your old, then you can copy all of the files required to restore your preferences and bookmarks.

  • The firefox browser window is not visible, only the toolbar. Have deleted and reloaded but no change

    When I open firefox, only the toolbar is visible. The main browser window is not available. I tried to open a new window in the menu bar, but no browser window appears.
    I deleted the program from my mac and reloaded a new version on the mozilla site, but still no navigation window.
    I'm not able to access the reset button, it takes a window is visible.

    I use a macbook pro with the latest osx responsible.

    You can try to do some maintenance.

    Repair disk permissions:

    Delete the plist of Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

    Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and delete the plist for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

    You can check the problems caused by a corrupt localstore.rdf file.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox does not display some things, for example the box for this text, but only on a logon - how to fix?

    Firefox does not appear certain things. For example, the area around the text, the above options (bold, italic, type inserting a link - I can see what they are just by moving the mouse pointer in the approximate area and reading the small text that appears). Other things, that it does not appear - the word 'Google' when I opened the page of search engine, icons in eBay. On eBay, when I log in, the words "sign in" appear as 2 different fonts superimposed on one another, both in black. In Internet Explorer, it appears as white text on a blue background and is quite readable. Now that this description has reached the length where the scroll box is needed, the scroll box appeared, but there is still no box around the text. Underneath, there is a box to a drop down menu ("what happened"), but not for "began when this" or "troubleshooting information. I don't know where to put the cursor to find these areas because it turns into a bar I when I'm in the right place. The really funny thing is: only, it has that way about my logon - works of fine wife! (Work that one!) It all started when I was running version 3.8.5 (I think it was). I downloaded version 4 hoping he could solve the problem, but it didn't. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem is still there. I have several months now (I think - at least 2 months) while the computer was turned off and rebooted several times, without effect.

    Looks like a broken profile. Back up your bookmarks, create a new profile , and then import your bookmarks back in. Let me know if you need additional assistance.
