Firefox: форум сообщества

I had two profiles, was in the process of trying to learn how to use the 2nd profile (as seen in the link below), which I still have no answer for. Somehow, maybe I held down SHIFT for too long and clicked on something by accident, idk, but somehow, I ended up REFRESHING the 2nd profile, causing it to delete everything I had done with it, and it backed up the old profile onto my desktop in the process. I figured I could just simply delete the new profile folder it had created and put back my old profile in the profile folder, but now, Firefox will not open at all, saying "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." How do I get it to recognize the profile folders again? OMG, I'm using Microsoft Edge, please, get me out of this!

Firefox has been working fine, but today when I clicked to start, I received an error message. "The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable." When trying to uninstall Firefox, Windows cannot find the uninstall helper. When I try to download a new version, I receive an error message: "Couldn't download - virus scan failed." Windows Security reports are all good. A scan found no viruses. Firefox will not open at all.

Hello! I am an avid user of firefox (especially with adblockers) on a windows 11 PC. Unfortunately, I have recently been experiencing an issue where when I attempt to open firefox, a window will open for a split second before instantly closing again. My PC is up to date, I have tried refreshing firefox and doing a clean install, but cannot seem to overcome the issue, or even open it in safe mode. Does anyone have any advice? Many thanks in advance!

Hi, my Machine updated from 140.0.4 to 141.0 since then I cannot start up Firefox anymore. On startup after a short pause the Crash Reporter shows up - interestingly the Crash Reporter may enter a endless loop and opens up multiple times. While that the CPU load is at 100%. I tried

• `firefox --safe-mode`
• `firefox --ProfileManager`

as well, for those I get the same behavior. I tried downgrading to 140.0.4 - after that a profile dialog shows up which tells me that a new profile needs to be created due to a downgrade. After that Firefox comes up fine with the new vanilla profile. IF Firefox updates to 141.0 (in background) the next startup with the vanilla profile doesn't work gain. Which brings me back to the initial problem.

Workaround for now:

• download 140.0.4
• create a fresh profile
• immediately disable auto update
• live with the empty profile

My environment:

• Linux Debian 12 on x86_64
• KDE Plasma
• nvidia drivers installed
• I am using Firefox from `https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases`

Hi,

I am using OS MX-25 Linux and after importing my previous FF profile from an earlier version of MX everything in Firefox 145.0 was fine: my bookmarks and extensions all loaded and everything was tickety-boo. However, after I attempted to relaunch FF I got the following message:

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

I have tried numerous times to launch FF but just keep getting this message.

Eventually it launched, but after a while pages refused to load properly and so I closed it down. Since then, I have been unable to get FF to open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After the latest version was updated, Version 149.00.7, on my laptop, on 27 March 2026, the browser closed midway while I was working, and now I can no longer access Firefox.

When I click on the Icon to access I keep getting the following error message as per the attachment:

I have uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it THREE TIMES already', but I still get the same error as before, as per the screen print provided.

I have even tried to install Firefox with custom settings, but then in order to proceed with the installation the ONLY button to proceed was the "UPGRADE" option.

I am at my wits end because this is totally unacceptable and the updated version obviously DOES NOT WORK!!!

Your urgent attention and prompt action in sorting this out will be appreciated, thanks.

Can’t launch Firefox 3.5.19 on Linux Ubuntu When trying to run with:

./firefox

Terminal gives the following:

./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I launch Firefox from a shortcut in the QuickLaunch bar. I need to double-click that to get a response. But then TWO instances of Firefox open, and I have to close one - which seems a waste of time and effort over and over and over. My system is x32Win10ProV22H2. How to get just one instance ?

Actually this is just the only route I could figure out to your page where I had PREVIOUSLY asked this question and was checking back in to see whether 'the Community' had given me an answer yet. I'm no doubt IMPATIENT since my bank told me I need you, not Google and Microsoft Edge , who I both HATE for coming on to MY laptop, asking for more information sharing and basically DEMANDING I follow their marketing instructions since they had somehow REMOVED the X at the top right corner and simultaneously BLOCKED my access to and use of my OWN laptop, so that each time I have NO OPTION but to turn off the power on my laptop, to "reboot" as they once said. If even a basic, ancient telephone can be HUNG UP on scammers.....forgive me. I REALLY want to use your search engine, as WELL as your site. Please advise.

- Had 3 windows open with numerous tabs and tab groups - Firefox sync was enabled, as well as a 2-3 plugins AFAIK - Version installed is latest as of this writing 139.0.4 - Initial crash caused by opening and quickly closing (IF that succeeded before crash) a onedrive share link - Cannot start firefox any more, also not in safe mode - the only thing that works is launching it with a fresh profile.

The report ID is bp-a8c824fc-a7fb-4290-a72b-b63160250620

Ideally I can resolve this without needing to refresh or start over with a new profile

I have this message after returning from nightly version to the stable one: ``` Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. ```

My Surface Laptop 7 w/ SnapDragon Elite's Firefox installation started crashing this morning immediately after rebooting to complete some Windows updates. I have attempted starting Firefox in Maintenance mode, Uninstalled and reinstalled and I still get the crash reporter. Refreshing Firefox at the uninstall process does not fix it.

I'm running Windows 11 Enterprise edition, fully patched w/ Firefox 146.0.

The 4 Windows updates that were installed:

Uninstalled KB5072033 Uninstalled KB5070311 Cannot be uninstalled KB5072641 Cannot be uninstalled KB5071142

Still didn't fix the problem.

These are the recent crash reports:

Crash ID: bp-8ec5b63c-4408-437c-b9bb-f4d5b0251213 Crash ID: bp-ce396463-0a75-46b6-8131-33cce0251213 Crash ID: bp-ea0b59dd-1cee-48da-957e-949120251213 Crash ID: bp-f9342e01-1a55-4387-af6d-3b8ef0251213

Any help is appreciated!
