How to reset firefox without openning the firefox as after repeated installation it fails to start and gives error message " Your Firefox profile cannot be load

"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I dont know why this message has appeared. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox after completely deleting all files and folders of mozilla from program files and registry.Despite of that firefox will not start and keep giving error message. i can not reset firefox without openning firefox.Profile does not open in window search.
On openning app data profile manually there is nothing much i can do as it shows [General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2tt76737.default
how shall i fix and restore firefox as i am desperate please , please help....

Does that Profiles/2tt76737.default still exist?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

When I download and try to install Thunderbird I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible".

Because of a virus, I redownloaded Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it completed until trying to open Thunderbird when I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I know the profile exists in a "recovered files" folder. I've tried to move it to the current Thunderbird folder but get the same message. I've tried to follow a Mozillazine article but it's too complicated. Is there any online help, such as chat or phone?

I think I have finally figured out how to reply to you. Even though your email says to reply to [email protected], that just goes into dead space.
So to answer your question, the profiles.ini file has in it:
<pre><nowiki>{General}
StartWithLastProfile=1
{Profile0}
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ghdigdus.default</nowiki></pre>
Also, I want to mention that there is a Thunderbird folder in C:\ just above the Users folder. It has two profiles in it, one of which is the e00qmtzd.default folder.
Are we getting closer to solving this problem?

Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. Firefox will not open and I don't have another internet program on my computer. How can I get the profile back?

Everytime I try to open firefox on my desktop it says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So now I cannot open firefox at all and I can't figure out how to get a profile. I just had to delete some programs to gain memory on my system and that is when the problem started. I don't have another internet program

Hi crmn,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]? There are steps in there that might help you. You might just want to create a new profile and start fresh.
Hopefully this helps!

I keep getting a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" message and firefox does not open. WHat is wrong and how do I fix?

I uninstalled Firefox from my computer, then I reinstalled it and tried to run it, but this message appeared, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" and Firefox does not open at all.

hello davidrusso71, press windows-key+R on your computer and open ''%appdata%\Mozilla\'' - an explorer window should come up, in there rename the folder labelled "Firefox" to something like oldFirefox. on the next start of firefox this should lead to a new profile being created...
you might want to import some of your old data into the new profile afterwards: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

In non tech language if you have a bell Internet thing then you just go to settings and wifi and it should show something like bell... And if you have something else then there's a big chance you would need a wireless router. Go to the source they have cheap ones.

"Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." How do I fix this?

I recently opened firefox after not using it for a long time. It asked me to update my profile or clean up my profile or something for a "better firefox experience". So I followed the directions and my computer froze stuck on a screen that said that my profile was being uploaded or something. So I restarted my computer and tried firefox again and I got the message "Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and the message remains. I cannot use firefox now. How do I fix this? Help!
P.S. I am using a Mac OS X 10.7.5

Oh, also I saw on some other threads that you can try deleting a profiles.ini file, but for the life of me I cannot find that file anywhere on my Mac. I followed these instructions to try to get to the profiles.ini file (And they were nowhere to be found):
Mac
Profile folders are in one of these locations:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder.

When I try to opn Morilla Firefox I get the following -Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I am running windows 7. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but I still get the message Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

It might be best to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder in case some items are located in the Firefox program folder and those may be use to initialize a new profile.
Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see a name without file extension.
You can see the real file type if you open the Properties via the right-click context menu

Firefox window does not opens. It shows an alert message -"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have deleted the processes in task manager and restarted Mozilla.Even then it does not opens. Pls get me a solution.

Make a new profile ('[[managing profiles]]'); if the old profile directory is still there, just copy-and-paste its contents into the new profile directory.

Did you delete the profiles.ini file?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

I must have deleted something. My firefox cannot open. I get the following message:

A possible/likely cause is a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

Firefox profile cannot be loaded it may be missing or inaccessible WINDOWS 8

I have a Windows 8 OS running on a PC. I have been using Firefox as my browser for several months. Suddenly, when I try to load Firefox, I get an error message, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox version 21.0 twice, and still get the same error message. How do I get to the profile.ini file using Windows 8, and what am I supposed to do when I ever get there?

There are a few steps to try.
First, try resetting Firefox:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
If this doesn’t solve the problem, trying using the Firefox Profile Manager to remove your old profile and create a new one manually:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
If this still doesn’t work, try deleting the profile.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile:
* Make sure that Firefox is closed
* Press Windows key+R to open the Run box
* Type: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
* Click “OK”
* Delete the file called “profile.ini”
* Run Firefox again

Get your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible after install. Profile.ini isnt installed at all. Forums no help.

I have installed the latest version of Firefox on my windows XP Pro 32 bit box 3 times and uninstalled 3 times to fix the message that the Profile is missing and your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I am admin on the box and I can install the download and remove it all day long but I can't get the profile.ini to be created. I've looked at all the forums and they don't address the missing profile at all or that it never gets created. I really need this to work as IE won't work for me.

There is no Mozilla folder created under appdata only roaming and several other program files underneath that.
Then perform the steps I described for the ''Roaming'' folder instead.
If the problem persists, please mention what security software you have (antivirus, firewall, etc.). Are you by any chance using software that might automatically lauch applications in a sandbox, like Avast?
''standun wrote:''
I sent an email earlier today but never heard back.
I don't know who you emailed, given that Mozilla doesn't provide tech support via e-mail. If you're referring to the notification e-mails from this forum, they only serve to let you know a reply has been posted. You need to click the “See the comment” link in the message to reply.
''standun wrote:''
If there was anyway to import the profile.ini I would.
You could manually create the folders and the ''profiles.ini'' file, but without solving the underlying problem, you're likely just run into some other issue instead. If you insist on going about it this way, this is what you'd do:
 1. Click the '''Start''' button on the taskbar and choose '''Run'''.
 2. In the box that opens, type ''%AppData%'' and press Enter.
 3. In the folder that opens, create a new folder called ''Mozilla''
 4. Open the Mozilla folder and inside it create a new folder called ''Firefox''
 5. Start Notepad, paste the following as its contents, then save the file as ''%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini''
<pre><nowiki>[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2dzy4k7u.default
Default=1</nowiki></pre>
6. Inside the Firefox folder, create a new folder called ''Profiles''
 7. Inside the Profiles folder, create a new folder called ''2dzy4k7u.default''
 
When launching Firefox, it will then attempt to populate the blank profile folder with data files (bookmarks, history, cookies, and so on). If you still have the permissions issue, I expect it will fail to do so.
