I'm using OSX 10.7.1 and this is a newly downloaded version of Firefox 6.0.2 and it keeps giving me the message of Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I've gone through all the forums and nothing can help me.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile (if it is still there) to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have tried creating a new profile however when when I use Terminal to open the Profile Manager, the same message of "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." still comes up.

Any other suggestions?
