New release messed up FF again. It is becoming a real joke now

Updated to FF 69.02 32 bit in a vm. I want the home page/ new windows/ new tabs to be FF default.I just get a blank page?. Plus i cannot log in here o FF says cookies are not allowed when they are. Tried to log in on IE and the username place was above the top of the screen.

Close out Firefox, open file explorer and go to C:\Users\YOURLOGINID\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\ and rename "Profiles" folder to Profilesold.

Then go to C:\Users\YOURLOGINID\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\ and rename "Profiles" folder to Profilesold.

relaunch Firefox, and see if its resolved. This will create you a new Firefox profile so if you login to Firefox for bookmarks etc you'll have to do that again.

If the problem still persist I'd recommend uninstalling Firefox, renaming/removing those folders again reinstalling Firefox.

This is of course assuming your VM is Windows based and not OSX

I tried that but it said my profile would not launch. I did not call it profilesold, i just added old to the actual name xxxxxxxx.default-xxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is the letter or numbers.

That is why i am always reluctant to update, always some hassle
