Firefox: screwed up profile, now Firefox won't load, despite reinstall
I need some way to force-create a working profile for Firefox.
I was trying to set up the Firefox on my laptop (Windows 10 Pro 64), to use the same profile on my desktop, when I did "something wrong," and now I get this error message:
I wanted to RTFM (but there was no "friendly" manual to read), and I did a complete uninstall using Revo Pro (I am a paying customer). I also did an Ultrasearch search (much better than Windows Explorer search), which turned up some Firefox files in \Windows\Prefetch. I deleted those files. And I rebooted.
Despite these steps, when I did a Firefox install again, I got a message saying that Firefox had been installed previously. I checked the box to restore defaults, etc. But I still get this error message about an inaccessible profile.
What do I have to do to get Firefox working again? I really don't want to use EDGE. And I don't want to do a fresh install of Windows just to be able to get Firefox working again.
