[macos] Profile won't start

I am running macos 15.7.2.

Bought a faster external drive *named EXT3* and I copied my Firefox Profiles from EXT2 *previous External* to EXT3

I have added the location for the profile in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles.ini

So far so good, but when EXT2 is NOT mounted the profile won't start, but only when EXT2 is MOUNTED then the profile will start.

Also connectivity is broken then, with that I mean I can't open any sites, not even a local one.

When I look in About:profiles I see that the profile in EXT3 is active and in use.

Any idea what is going on?

Ps:

macos: 15.7.2 Firefox Version:140.5.0 ESR

Did some digging and it's because of an extension, even though the whole profile has been copied over to EXT3 an extension is keeping files open on EXT2 strangely enough.

/Volumes/EXT2/Documents/Firefox/my-ff/extensions/imageblock@hemantvats.com.xpi /Volumes/EXT2/Documents/Firefox/my-ff/extensions/{0035bf10-3f36-4d60-b92d-08c1a8b060a6}.xpi

Edit: WOW all the extension are still listed on EXT2? How can I change the paths for the extensions?
