How do I fix a 'Profile Missing' pop-up box when I try to start up Fire Fox?
so i wanted to reinstall firefox on my mac so i moved the profile to the recalling bin to get rid of all the add ons and stuff now it won't let me open firefox at all as the profiles missing but shouldn't it just create a new one if i downloaded it fresh

Hello strenny
go to ~/Library/Firefox ( The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder) and find the profiles.ini file and delete it, then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
The profiles.ini file is located inside the "Firefox" folder in the profile folder path.
thank you

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
