Hi,
I have an issue with Firefox, it's failing to start, showing "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible ". So I restored my profile from backup and replaced it, without any success. Also, I've performed "chown -R" for the entire user directory recursively changing all permissions to my user. Then I checked
[ms@MateuszArchDesktop ~]$ strace -e trace=%file firefox 2>&1 | grep "/home/ms/.cache"
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/ms/.cache/fontconfig//3830d5c3ddfd5cd38a049b759396e72e-le64.cache-7", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

It appears the Firefox is not checking or loading the profile.
I would be grateful for your advice.
Regards.

Also, I've performed "chown -R" for the entire user directory
What exact command did you use, and why did you think it was necessary? What was the ownership / permission before?
... $ strace -e trace=%file firefox 2>&1 | grep "/home/ms/.cache"
Why are you grepping just for .cache? The profile is not under ~/.cache, so of course it would not be shown in that output. If you think the strace output might be useful post (or link to) the complete output.

What's in ~/.mozilla?
Did you change the name of one of the profile folders in ~.mozilla?
They are automatically generated and should not be made by the user.
How did you restore your backed up profile?

donescopeta, please explain the commands in your post. They do not seem complete, or it is not clear why you used them.
