Which profile is used by firefox

I was moving my files from an old XP machine with Win 7. I have managed to the migration of the Firefox settings to see the profile of my wife, but have not been able to get my profile configured properly. I can see my profile and there are several default files in the profile folder. We use Firefox? How do I know if we're missing something that does not FF restore my browser settings?

Open the profiles.ini file (in a program like Notepad or Wordpad text) which is located in the same folder as the \Profiles\ file and look for default = 1 under Path = profiles /and the name of the profile. It's the last used profile when you have multiple profiles in the \Profiles folder.

  • I get error messages when I try to visit some Web sites you use Mozilla Firefox, but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago, I noticed that when I tried to access some websites using Firefox, I always got this error message. "The connection was reset". Initially, I thought it was a problem with my ISP before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and the iPad. I tried and then open the same links which brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.

    Basically, the only site that works right now on my Firefox browser is Google but if I do a Google search and then click on any link that appears so I get the same error message, "the connection was reset". I can also connect to my gmail account, but I can't access any other Web site including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.

    I have cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all browsing history, but the problem persists then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a & as = aaq and still nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but any solution will be appreciated. I have used Firefox for years and I'm really not comfortable using a different browser.

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

    See creating a profile:

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

  • My profile is missing for Firefox does not open. How can I reset it then?

    I've been using Firefox since one some time walking, but used a different browser as my main. Now that this browser is obsolete and there is no update available, I wanted to switch to Firefox permanently. Given that all my favorites are only updated on my old browser, I thought it would be much easier, simply uninstall and reinstall Firefox and automatically carried over to my favorites (since that first made some time ago). While looking up how to install it, I came across something that says that the bookmarks are stored in a 'profile' that had to be deleted to be reset. I followed the instructions to remove my profile, then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

    NOW, I'm going to open my newly installed Firefox and a window pops up that says: "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. »... Well, I wanted to start over completely, so of course I don't have a profile more. But my only option now is to click on this window, and Firefox disappears. No means to access anything whatsoever on Firefox, no options, no nothing so all of the so-called 'solutions' that I've seen (IE: reset the profile...) "I can't do that either!) It is impossible for me to do.

    All I wanted to do was end of beginning completely with Firefox which seemed to be a very simple solution and has now turned into a chore and an unusable browser. How can I reset or create a new profile without being IN Firefox to do? Deleted my profile an error? If so, your help page is very misleading!

    Someone please help. I really don't want to use a DIFFERENT browser.

    Thank you!!

    A possible/probable 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
  • What sRGB profile to use (HP sRGB profile ICC PCBS, ICCnoBPC and no profile)?

    Hello world

    Can I ask something from you guys? I have a question to which no one can seem to answer.

    I don't know which is the best profile to use - the sRGB profile HP, ICC sRGB PCBS, the sRGB ICC with no PCBS, or no profile (just marked as sRGB colorspace).

    They are all sRGB_IEC61966-2, but the sRGB HP who is originally from older versions of CS (and perhaps newer?) does not specify if it's PCBS or nonBPC.

    I noted several things (and I know little about color profiles, so please excuse my ignorance):

    (1) Firefox displays all profiles in the same way, except noBPC is shown with lighter blacks

    (2) adobe seems to represent the PCBS sRGB and sRGB HP in the same way?

    (3) some people suggest to use no profile, marking just the metadata for say sRGB

    (4) the site of the ICC said that color profiles more V2 on the www are black-scaled; other sites seem to say that it is the opposite: that PCBS is something new for most of the people who save sRGB V2...

    (5) PCBS = black scaling.

    Help ! I am completely at a loss for what is the way most future-proof to do. Every road seems to be a disadvantage.

    Any help would be great

    I see. Can I ask, however, if this is your profile that you use in your editions?

    This is a display of the profile sRGB HP EXIFTool.

    Really curious to know if we actually use the same file.

    Part of me wonders if that my installation of photoshop has the HP sRGB is because maybe I installed it by accident long ago; or maybe it's really the same thing.

    See you soon

    It is the export of the Exiftool GUI on my sRGB file text file. Hope that helps

  • Can my keychain Mac record passwords used in firefox?

    The keychain on my Mac doesn't seem to save the passwords used on Firefox

    Firefox stores passwords in a file in your Firefox profile (settings) file and not coordinate it with the system keychain. It can be an add-on that offers this feature, of course, be careful who entrust you your passwords.

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • What plugins are activated (category of Plugins)
    • the theme is active (the appearance category)
    • What extensions are enabled/disabled (category: Extensions)

    Roaming is the main profile folder.

    • C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

    The other local is used to store the cache and does not need to be saved.

  • How do I sync and import/export bookmarks between different users on the same computer and two using the Firefox browser?

    All the help instructions are to import and export bookmarks bookmarks between different brands of browsers.

    Assuming that each of these different users use a different profile of Firefox. You can use the built in Fx4 Sync feature. Click on Setup Sync in the menu selections, create an account and then have each user created their profile to use this new account synchronization. It syncs more bookmarks; things like history, passwords, etc. So if it's only the bookmarks you are concerned with that, use customize only synchronize bookmarks when you set up each user. Good luck and have fun in sync.

  • Signed extension presents itself as "could not be verified for use in Firefox.

    I have an extension that was signed by Mozilla that shows like 'could not be verified for use in Firefox. Proceed with caution"in the Add-ons Manager. I installed the extension by copying the file in ~/Library/Application Support / < provider > /Extensions/{id}/@name.xpi on OSX and %appdata%\Mozilla\Extensions\{id}\@name.xpi on Windows. When restarting Firefox 42 extension installs and works fine, except for the disturbing message. However, when I install the extension by dragging on the Firefox window, he moved very well and does NOT display the disturbing message.
