Question

'''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

Answer 1

You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
Have a look at
*[[preferences are not saved]]
* and [[backing up your information]]
A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
# return the profile settings to their standard privileges
# use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
# try a new profile
#* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
# back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
