Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.

Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of the copied profile to register it as the new profile.

You can transfer some files from an existing profile (if there is still one) to the new profile.

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 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.

Message trying to open firefox; your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible

Check and tell if its working.

Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible. Vista

Vista. I tried uninstall and reinstall 3.6.3 and 4 beta 7 with reboot in between.
When I try to start FF 4 beta 7, I still get the message "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible"

Use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] to test Firefox 4.0b7 and keep your current profile for Firefox 3.6.
Moreover, you use an out-of-date version of Firefox 3.6, [[Updating Firefox|update Firefox 3.6]].

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.

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.

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?

Uninstalled Firefox & deleted profile folder. Installed new Firefox but box pops up "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded It may be missing or inaccessible."

I can't reinstall firefox. I deleted the profile folder and uninstalled firefox in hopes of clearing up the cookies from some problems I was having accessing my school course through a website. It seems to be downloaded but won't open up because the profile is missing. Help is appreciated thanks!

If you delete the Firefox profile folder, but leave the profiles.ini file then Firefox will try to access the folder that is marked as "Default=1" in the profiles.ini file and that will cause this error message.
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
You do not have to delete the Firefox profile folder if there is a problem with the cookies.
You would only have to delete the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies in case clearing the cookies in the normal way isn't working.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

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

I have downloaded firefox but when i go to open it it says your firefox profile cannot be loaded it may be missing or innaccessible what do i do to fix this?

downloaded firefox 4.0 i completed that then a box popped up saying profile canot be loaded tell me please how to fix this

Did you ever have an older version of Firefox installed in that PC?

Your Firefox cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I downloaded an add-on and had to restart it. Then it asked me to reset Firefox or to use the safe mode. I chose the safe mode but instead it disabled the add-on. So I reseted the Firefox instead. And since then everytime I open the browser, it gives me a message saying "Your Firefox cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I went through all the forums, but they don't seem to help. They tell me to open it and recreate the profile but I can't even get the browser to open.

Did Firefox move the old profile to the desktop (Old Firefox Data) or is it still in the old location?

Your firefox profile can not be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible

i just updated my computer, after i did so, firefox wont open, it says your firefox profile can not be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible. I have read every thread in here, and nothing works. i can't find the profiles.ini folder and i cant create a new profile. what to do now?

A 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.

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

"project cannot be loaded it may be damanged..."

I am using Premiere CS6 on a Macbook Pro and am in the middle of editing a huge project. I went to open the project today and got this error.
"the project cannot be loaded it may be damaged or contain outdated elements"
I have no idea how or why this is happened.
PLEASE HELP!
What I have tried:
1. Starting a new project and importing the entire project. I get the same error message.
2. Starting a new project and importing just the sequences. Premiere just stalls.
3. Cleaning the Media Cache.
4. Uninstalling then re-installing Premiere.
5. Importing the project into After Effects. I get an error message.
6. The auto-save files open, but the latest one is quite old.
7. Duplicating the project file.
8. Moving the project file and file structure to a new directory.
None of these have worked!
Any other ideas?

Same problem here. It's happened twice in the last few weeks. I tried all the same things as you did, except re-installing. I also tried to repair the file with xml wrench, but it didn't help. The first time I lost about 6 hours work - ouch.
What seems odd to me is the lack of current auto-saves. Could there be some connection?
I'm on Windows. The problems occurred only after the latest update. The only difference I can see compared to other projects is the size. This project is about 50MB, due to some warp stabilization.
What complicates things is an error message from the BIOS when I started the computer each time the error happened. "overclocking failed" This apparently is a generic ASUS error message, and I think it might not be related to this, as it has occurred other times, even when there is no overclocking. Maybe coincidental.

I have tried to load Profile Manager but the icon does not appear on the navigation bar

I have created a profile in Profile Manager but when I click on 'Start Firefox' there is no icon shown. I Firefox is closed and I click on the icon on my desktop to open it, before it opens I get the 'Firefox - Choose User Profile'.

I keep getting the 'Profile missing or inaccessible' error message. I've tried some of the advice given to others but none of it is working for me. I've tried opening the Profile Manager but I get the same error message when I try to do that.

Since yesterday when trying to use Firefox I've been getting error 'Profile missing or inaccessible'.
I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling it & from looking at advice to others with this problem I tried to access the Profile Manager but when I try to do that I again get the Profile missing error message.
