I have a classroom of student that use the same domain login account. When they log in and try to use firrfox. They get a message saying " Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. it maybe be missing or inaccessible. " I can go into the appdata/Mozilla/Firefox and delete the profile.ini and firefox will open as a first time user. I need help to make the profile open on every login without deleting the profile

This is a problem with the profiles.ini file. If you remove a profile automatically when a user signs off, but leave the entry in the profiles.ini file then you will get this problem.

Where is the profile located that is registered in the profiles.ini file?

Can you work out a way to specify the profile location and not use the profiles.ini file or possibly create a profiles.ini file that points to an existing (empty) folder?
