profile missing error message
All of a sudden, when trying to access Firefox, I got an error message saying my Firefox Profile was missing or deleted. I've tried all the online instructions to recreate the Profile with no success. I will be very grateful for a hopefully easy solution to this problem
i uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but still got the Profile error message.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

Is there a folder on your desktop called Old Firefox? Did you have any problem with FF?
Create a new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Windows: 32-bit C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p 64-bit C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p Mac: Navigate to /Applications/Utilities. Open the Terminal application. In the Terminal application, enter the following: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p Linux: In Terminal run: firefox –P

I emptied the trash so the Old Firefox Data folder is gone

Did you look for the profiles.ini file?
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\ - Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
- Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
- Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Thanks again for your support but, please, remember I am beyond a complete computer moron
there is no Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/ and I cannot find the ini.file
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
thanks I'm running 10.6.8
