I should point out, it was 13 different digits to those that I listed. One was just titled 'default' while the other was 'default-9999999999999'. Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -PĪs if by magic, this opened a window in which TWO Firefox identifies were listed.
The command prompt I found (and subsequently typed into Terminal) was: I thought to myself, can't hurt to take a look. I was getting seriously frustrated!īut, eventually, I came across an article on Firefox profiles and how it was possible to access them without opening Firefox. parentlock file or killing the process from Force Quit. Sure enough, when I'd done reinstalling a new version of Firefox, voila, same problem again.Īlmost every reference was focused on deleting the. To be honest, I didn't expect it to because the instructions didn't include any information on uninstalling the current version therefore I guessed that there'd still be stuff lying around. I tried pretty much everything that I could find documented on the web, and even did the full clean reinstall as suggested, but that didn't work either.
