Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have been using firefox but since Mac update i am receiving this message: your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible.

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?

Cannot reacquire firefox. error message reads "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible.

I lost Firefox for no apparent reason. I deleted the program and attempted to reinstall and download. Received an error message that read "Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." At the same time, I lost Picasa and all my photos. When I tried to reinstall Picasa, I received the same message about Firefox. Can someone please help. It's driving me nuts.

after I received the error message, i uninstalled and then re-installed mozilla firefox. my desktop now has a mozilla firefox icon and a separate folder entitled: old firefox data. i tried a solution posted at the site:

Hello poestirs3
press Windows key + R to open the Run box of windows Vista, then type '''%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox''' (or copied from here) and click "'''OK'''" to quickly open the appropriate folder,
then find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini file] (see the screenshot how possible looks like) and rename it (right-click on mouse and select rename) to profiles.iniOLD , then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
This new "default" profile doesn't contain any of the profile data or settings stored in your old "default" profile folder, which still exists but is no longer accessible from the Profile Manager.
Your existing Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions, will no longer appear in the new profile but you [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox can transfer the data from the old profile folder to the new default profile folder].

Cannot access firefox. Error message "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It maybe missing or inaccessible"

This ocurred on my Dell Laptop, it seems, after several reset Firefox to Default. My Dell is an Inspriron/8600. I have removed Firefox and reloaded twice. What should Ido next.
Thanks

Hi Bernard, normally, when doing a Reset, Firefox moves your old profile folder to the desktop (in a folder named Old Firefox Data), creates a new profile folder incorporating some of the data from your old profile, and updates a configuration file with the new profile folder name. It sounds as though this broke down somewhere along the way. Let's see whether it was that third step.
In order to ease the next few steps, please make sure that you can view hidden files and folders. This article has the steps:
* Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_show_file_extensions.mspx
* Newer Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
To open your Firefox data folder, you can type or paste the following into either the Start menu Run box, Search box, or into the address bar of a Windows Explorer/My Computer window:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
In the folder that loads, you should see a Profiles folder and a file named profiles.ini (it's a text file you can edit with Notepad).
Click into the Profiles folder to see whether you can find a semi-randomly-named folder. If you find it, click into it to confirm that it contains some files and isn't empty. If there is stuff there, let's work with it. Up in the address bar of Windows Explorer, select and copy the semi-random name of the folder, or you can make a note of it somewhere.
Return back up to the Firefox folder. Right-click>Edit the profiles.ini file and it should open in Notepad. You should see something like the following:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/'''asdf1234.default'''
Default=1
The part of Path after Profiles/ needs to match the name of the folder you copied or noted earlier. Go ahead and fix it and save the file.
Then try to start Firefox again. Any luck?
If the existing profile (post-Reset) is missing completely, or is missing important data, we can grab one of the earlier profile folders from the Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. For the steps to do that, please see this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025708#answer-641099

Your Firefox Profile cannot be loaded.It may be missing or inaccessable. Have tried all suggestions and cannot find my profile or fix it

I have bee using firefox for many years and seemed to have lost it. I downloaded again about 5 times,have tried all suggestions in the forums nothing worked.The only thing is I tried to recover my Profile default fold and it is missing. What can I do? I miss using firefox and would like you back

Hello All.
I've been using Firefox for a long time with a great pleasure of course. I've got today the same problem as you: my profile can't be loaded, missing or inaccessible. I tried all solutions but it was not OK.
Finally, as yesterday I've played with hiddens files in my home directory, I noticed that my "/home/myuser/.cache" was marked with a little padlock: it was access protected. So I just execute:
'''sudo chown myuser /home/myuser/.cache -R '''
and now Firefox is working fine.
I hope this way will be useful for you
Thanks

I keep receiving security errors when trying to open a pdf.

I keep receiving a security error when trying to run my javascript program, the function previously worked, but now creates an error after I entered the addWaterMark function. I have put my whole code below for my script.
The basic function is to load a text file into an array which has the path and file location, open the document, add a watermark, save the file, close the file, then repeat for the next array position.
I am using Acrobat Standard so I am unable to debug using the console, therefore I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. I will point out that I am not a fluent programmer, only have a basic knowledge of programming.
Code
app.addSubMenu(
cName:"Extras",
cParent:"Edit"
app.addMenuItem(
cName:"Import File",
cParent:"Extras",
cExec:"main()"
function main()
var fileCount = 0
var listOfFiles = []
listOfFiles = importData()
amountOfFiles = listOfFiles.length
for (var i =0; i<listOfFiles.length; i++) //calculates amount of entries in the array listOfFiles
newFile = openFile(listOfFiles[i]) //Opens current file
var d = app.activeDocs; //Gets current document title name
addWater(d[0]);
app.execMenuItem("Save");
for( var x in d ) d[x].closeDoc();
function addWater(myName)
{ app.alert("watermark",0);
myName.addWatermarkFromText(
cText: "OBSOLETE",
cFont: "Arial",
nFontSize:36,
aColor: color.red,
nOpacity: 0.5
//function SaveFile saves the current file but with an addition of WM to the filename
saveFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentDoc, currentFileName)
{ app.alert("savefile",0);
app.beginPriv();
currentDoc.saveAs(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//function openFile which opens the file named in the variable currentFilename
openFile = app.trustedFunction(function(currentFileName)
{app.alert("openfile" + currentFileName,0);
app.beginPriv();
app.openDoc(currentFileName);
app.endPriv();
//importData function imports the paths and filenames contained in the list.txt located on the desktop
importData = app.trustedFunction(function()
{app.alert("import",0);
app.beginPriv();
cFilePath = "/C/Users/103019944/Desktop/File_List.txt";
var stmData = util.readFileIntoStream(cFilePath);
var cData = util.stringFromStream(stmData);
var cMsg = cData;
var fileArray = cMsg.split("\r\n");
for (var i =0; i<fileArray.length; i++)
return(fileArray);
app.endPriv();

I have found the error, you are quite correct I had an extra letter in the filename, I thought I'd checked this but just shows that sattention to detail is the key.
The script works perfectly now, thanks you for your help, really appreciated.
Thanks again
Ben

Receiving this error when trying to download firefox.

The error reads
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system can not find file specified at

Is this the first time that you are downloading Firefox on this computer? I did see something kind of like this before. What you have to do is go through the computer and remove every piece of Firefox on there. I don't know what OS you are using so I can't give you info on how to do that. After you remove Firefox from your computer you will download it again this time it should work. What most likely happened is the first download was corrupted somehow and that is preventing you form being able to instal Firefox on your computer. This will be fixed if we remove any piece of Firefox.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

I just agreed to a update of iTunes and now I get a "language" error when trying to open it.

I just agreed to an update of iTunes on my imac (running OS-X 10.8.4) and now I get an error when trying to open iTunes. The error is: "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version." What?
I'm not a tecchie and could really use some step-by-step instructions on how to get my Itunes working again! I've never changed the language on my Mac...have no idea where this language error came from.
Thanks!

Hello E1777,
