Do you see the Multifox item to open a new window in the File of Firefox menu?


You will see a "New Identity Profile" (Ctrl+Alt+M) in the "Firefox > New Tab" menu and in the File menu (press F 10 if the menu bar is hidden) and in the context menu if you right-click a link.
Choosing that menu entry will open a new window with a new set of cookies marked multifox-profile-2 in the cookie manager.


It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
