Firefox freezes and paralyzes OS when loading specific non-default profiles

Hello!

When trying to load specific profiles, Firefox freezes and my system blocks, with fan on full speed.

I have to either kill that profile via process manager (before everything freezes) or force shutdown my computer.

The only thing these profiles have in common is that their names have special characters ('í' and 'ã'). Renaming has no effect but Firefox being unable to find them.

Unfortunately I have no error message to quote. I need to use these profiles because of their specific saved logins data.

I'm on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64, 6.1.0-12-amd64. Firefox verson is 115.4.0esr (64-bit).

Thank you for your time. -chico

Profile names/paths with 'í' and 'ã' characters work for me on Ubuntu with 115 ESR.

Renaming the profile will still include the original name in the path. You will need to edit the path of the profile, then create a new profile and point it to that path with "Choose folder".

Thank you! This solved the problem.

I had changed everything but the actual name of the paths was still the same, as you said. I hadn't noticed I could choose an existing folder when creating a new profile.

So I - followed the two paths, root directory (/home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox/) and local (/home/<user>/.cache/mozilla/firefox//firefox/ ), and changed their names consistently, - created a new profile with the same new name, pointing to the renamed root path,

and now everything is back to normal.

Thanks a lot!
