Why could not load my Firefox profile, browser does not open and when I try he mentions his lack unreachable?

I think that firefox was in the middle of the automatic update, which got missed somehow. Then, he never started, and now when I try to open firefox browser I get only a message of yellow triangular exclamation: "could not load your profile Firefox. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I have no access to all the functions on my firefox browser. I'll have to use internet explore and its terribly slow in comparison. Help!

ideato,
I couldn't see the wording of the filename exactly as you pointed out, but I ended up doing a file search "*.ini" on my hard drive, which resulted in 359 files found. then I scanned down the column name and entered a "configuration settings" file simply named "profiles" in the folder: C:\Documents and Data Data\Mozilla\Firefox

I deleted it and opened my Firefox browser! I lost all my favorites, history, etc., but this isn't the end of the world.

his age since I had no problem on my computer. I am so grateful that you replied and I could get this resolved so quickly! This is the first time I've ever used this type of public support.

Gerri I can not thank you enough, (((HUG)))

  • Firefox does not open, and when I try to use the "run", it says that the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can't lose my favorites. Help?

    Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »
    I also tried the same thing for the file in the x 86 folder, but it gave the same error and I went and looked for the files in the given location and they were there.
    Firefox is not to fall down, so he isn't there an other error message, I can give you.
    The things that I had my favorites are really important, I can not lose those, but I am fine with anything else have to re-installed, etc..
    Help please?

    I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • "Could not read data" when you try to print from Android

    Hello. I have a printer HP Officejet 6700 Premium, which is connected via ePrint/HP connected to my Google account so that I can print from my Google devices (Cloud Print). While this works very well when printing from my laptop (29 Chrome on Ubuntu 13.04), it does not when printing my Nexus 10 (Android 4.3) or my Galaxy Nexus (CyanogenMod 10.1.3). I tried printing both outside and inside the network on which the printer is on, but whenever I get "could not read data" in the Cloud Print dialog box. It seems that Cloud Print knows that the printer exists, since it is on the list, but it cannot communicate with the printer. Any way to solve this problem? He's good enough additional features only on my previous printer, who died of old age.

    It seems to me that the question is in fact Cloud Print related. Here is the support page: https://support.google.com/cloudprint/?rd=1

    Remember that Google Cloud Print is still in beta phase. Good luck tomslominski.

    Hi once again, fortunately today I bring better news! As a result of a serious lack of assistance from Apple themselves, have no idea of "The Tech Guys" in the world PC and extremely unnecessary hours at Microsoft, I've sorted it me. In other words, the main problem with mine was the Apple Software Updater. Even with "Revo" I was unable to remove it. I decided to download "Windows Installer Clean Up" from there where I could find (it was also free!). I used it and immediately found, I could choose the Apple Software Updater and remove it with very little hassle in all. I proceed to download the new iTunes, and I'm a very happy Bunny! Thanks for nothing, Microsoft and Apple! Hope this helps - Dan

  • message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

    I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

    "Your purchase could not be executed.

    Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

    Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

    Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

    THX.

    Hi jjquinn75

    I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

    Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.

    Kind regards
