Hello, I've an infrastructure with Windows 2012 R2 using RDS services and Folder Redirection (roaming profile) for the users. I've installed Firefox with the classic "change user /install" flags.

All the users that use the Folder Redirection policy receive a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" No one can use Firefox

I've tried many tips found over the FAQ: - check the permission on the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ folder - rename the profile.ini in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - launch the Firefox with the -p flag

Did someone had the some problems? There is a way to see where firefox search for the profile and debug the exact error that occur?

Thanks

Hello, as I said we've followed this and other post Deleting, renaming, tried to run an alternate path, but Firefox don't start

It seem it's a problem related to the Folder Redirection in Windows 2012 R2 RDS

I need to understand if there is a debug (or run Firefox in debug mode) that can show me what Firefox is looking for (the path of the profile) to address the issue
