Trying to re-install Firefox - get message that Profile cannot be loaded - install will not complete
I had a power cut whilst loading firefox. Tried to load when power restored, but get the message about the Profile missing or inaccessible. Thought that deleting the copy on C drive and loading a fresh copy of Firefox would solve the problem, so deleted it - didn't help - same message when I try to load a new copy. How can I install a totally new copy of the program ? I have another copy of Firefox on a laptop - can the profile from this help ?

thanks Fred - had a problem opening your suggestions as they tried to use Firefox to read them !!! -'missing profile ....' Opened in M..... Edge ! Solution was as Method 2 - I deleted the profile. Loaded a fresh copy of Firefox - and it works - plus somehow it has preserved all my links and favourite websites, so nothing lost. Solved.
