Firefox corrupt ?

Post by Vilsen »

I have a problem and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to solve the problem:

I use Firefox exclusively as a web browser and now there have been strange "behaviors"
in the Firefox that is present in a login other than the usual daily where everything is as it should be.

My question is: Can you uninstall the Firefox that is in my second login
and then reinstall it so that you get a fresh unpolluted version again?

You can manage (delete, create new ones, etc.) Firefox profiles with the following command:

firefox -ProfileManager

You can launch different profiles you have created with:

firefox -P name_of_profile

More commands:

man firefox

Hope this helps.

In addition to the info given above, you can go to Help - Troubleshooting information, where you can clear the cache, refresh the profile, etc.

I came up with a much much faster way:

I created a new USER and logged in there.

Then everything was clean and nice again.
