|
|
Hi,
I can't start firefox (Aurora), I get "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"
I've tried uninstalling firefox, removing .mozilla but I can't get anything to work. It occurred after the system powered down, so I think something's gotten corrupted, but I can't think what. I've searched for a profiles.ini, but none seems to exist. I've googled this, but can't find anything,
Thanks,
James
tl;dr make sure you delete .cache/mozilla as well as .mozilla

I've tried all the things listed. firefox -P just returns the same error. There seem no profiles to fix or delete. |

Would you mind posting the full message like Quote: | $ firefox
(process:12986): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed |

The actual error appears in a XFCE message box window. I'm using firefox 31.3.0
Quote: | $ firefox -P
(process:5225): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
|
Once I press ok in the message box, the terminal prompt comes back like it's finished processing. |

Can you open "$ firefox -ProfileManager"? |

Brilliant, I'd missed the .cache/mozilla directory, deleting that did it!
Thanks! |
