7. I would definitely try to transplant the profile.

Feb 2017

The particular profile (and it's location) is specified in this file ...

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefoxprofiles.ini

This file can be edited by the user.

So, instead of erasing the current non-working profile, put the refresh profile in a convenient location and then set the value in profiles.ini.

This is what mine looks like ...

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=B:\Profiles\Firefox

Note that if you change the pathname, you must use the "\" character instead of "/".

I like having my profile in a place where it can be easily backed up.

Good luck.
