Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible
I have an issue launching firefox with the above error message. When I tried some of the solutions posted in this forum I receive the error message

Usually I fix this by restoring correct rights on corresponding catalogs with:
sudo chown $USER: -R ~/.cache/mozilla/ ~/.mozilla/firefox/
