  OK, if %AppData% does not lead you in the right place you can also manually navigate to the folder with incident reports (you may need to turn on the display of the first hidden files). It is located in C:\Users\ < your user name > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted...

• problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

  I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

  Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file

  You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
  You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:

• Paths of folders Shell not updated on the new profiles

  On a recent update to an image, I noticed that the paths in the Shell registry records part were not updated according to new profiles. They were staying as they were in the registry of the user by default when the image was created. I couldn't find a way to solve this problem, and it was causing problems with some programs unable to find the location of the files. Finally, I created a new image from scratch and prepared the image using sysprep and the same unattended xml file that I have always used. I fully expect this new image do not have problems, but again the paths were not updated. I can't find any reason for it. Paths of folders Shell remains static on the account used when creating the image and not update the paths for each new profile. For now I use an older image which has not been affected by this, but requires the manual update of several pieces of software.

  The procedure I use to create an image is:

  ·         Connect with the local administrator account

  ·         Set profile options

  ·         run sysprep with the / generalize switch using an unattend.xml file with CopyProfile set to true in the phase specialize and capture the image

  I found several old messages on the internet in terms of static paths in the files of the shell, but none mention a cause or how to solve the problem.

• I hate this new menu, impossible to find the story or how to save my old firefox back to bookmarks toolbarwant

• 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

• How can I get my old firefox back?

  I don't like this new blue one and has not asked for it, this is all of a sudden. In addition, it has a really strange behavior. For example, just now I have 5 tabs open firefox. The first is a question on your forum. When I clicked on the link "ask a question" at the top of the page, it opens the next page in a new tab. And when I clicked on the find on this page button, it opens another tab again. This tab was asked what product I want support with and open another tab with the next page. And yet 10 minutes ago it worked fine. He retains it, doing suddenly change his mind about how he opens new pages.
  In addition, I can be through a page using the scroll on my mouse wheel, then suddenly it stops scrolling and starts to do the top page or less instead. Why he keep changing his mind on what he does?
  Really don't like this new browser and would appreciate that I could get my old one back that worked perfectly well and really no need to upgrade.

  It is possible that some of the keys to the State and possible other keys have the bad state and consider Firefox as always in a hurry.

  Try pressing all the keys (shift, Ctrl, Alt) state several times to see if that helps to recover from this.
  Is it didn't help and then close and restart Firefox or restart the computer.

  You can watch the classic extension theme restaurateur restore some features that has been lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

• SRV Win2k3 creating the new user at startup profile

  My Win2K3 Server creates a new user profile when starting, rather than use the existing account.
  For example, the account is called "USER"
  It creates a new profile named "USER. DOMAIN ".

  The "new USER. The DOMAIN profile"seems to have migrated all the parameters of the 'USER' profile, so that it is almost impossible to tell them apart.

  My problem is that this profile does not seem to be able to access the DHCP and DNS server (and other services) and the other server Win2K3, which is of the BDC.

  I tried to remove the disk from the machine and on another windows machine, remove the directory "USER. DOMAIN"and place it on a USB key. Then, turn the player on and start again. It just creates another "USER. The DOMAIN profile"again but this time that all parameters were also lost as if it created a whole new USER profile from scratch.

  I need to get her back to the original profile 'USER' to make everything functional again.

  I would also like to know how this happened and why, if someone wants to be good enough to explain it to me.

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• I can not even open FF because the profile is not found, even after using the profile in order to create a new profile.

  I've recently upgraded to version 40 39.0.3. The first upgrade was not so I removed FF using the control panel (uninstall program). I reinstalled again, but I got the messages that FF was already running, etc. as other users have noticed. I open profiles (Open firefox.exe - p) and tried to open FF with the "default" profile that did not work. I created a new profile ("defaultuser") and FF open. (I have the box checked to use the new profile on startup). I have created FF as I wanted it, and then exit. When I started later FF, the profile is not found. The profile did not have the "defaultuser" profile, does not open with the "default" profile, but would a new profile must be created and FF to open and run. Quit FF and reopen produces the same sequence (profile not found, etc.) I uninstalled 40 and reinstalled version 39.0.3 and I have the same problems with this version (39.0.3), plus he's starting the upgrade to version 40, and soon as I complete the installation again. I uninstalled the 39.0.3/40 version and reinstalled 40 using the Profiles page to write this question.

  I removed the version FF 40 using the Panel of control/uninstall. I deleted all the files that have been "* firefox *" and "* mozilla * ' (and there are some). I rebooted, and then reinstalled FF version 39.0.3. I could we FF immediately (without having to create a new profile). I have not had any problems with a bad certificate of Google, Yahoo, etc.. I went to all the web sites open very well. I could restart, then restart FF several times without problems or issues of certificate. Meanwhile, I made no changes to Kaspersky, and as far as I know, Kaspersky works as he usually does. I am almost sure that FF 40 version has a certificate problem that I can't fix. I'm less sure if the original upgrade to version FF 39.0.3 to 40.0.0 (then 40.0.2) played a role in my profile questions. Regardless, I have a version of FF that works and auto-updated to FF is off (and it will remain like that until I gather a few of this blog and other insurance which emits 40 FF are ironed out). I appreciate the help that you (and jscher200 in another thread) has attempted to provide. While the issues are not fixed, the thread can be closed.

• Firefox has created a new profile on every launch, despite the change in the profile of the Manager.

  I created multiple profiles in Firefox, but no matter how many tutorials, I followed online, it still does it. Also, I can not select the profiles that I created.

  One possible cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini.

  • 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 reuse an existing profile or create 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

• How to create the new folder

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

  After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

  Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

  Let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards
