Maybe the permissions are not set correctly for ~/.cache, so Firefox cannot create the ~/.cache/mozilla directory.

So, the thing is that I've removed everything from ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/profileName/ and firefox starts ok. But when I remove the (empty!!!) profile folder firefox refuses to start and says it's unable to load profile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198632 Title: bleachbit breaks firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bleachbit/+bug/1198632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1198632] Re: bleachbit breaks firefox
that's really strange. I use ubuntu 12.04 and firefox just shows the error from #comment 2 whenever I delete the ~/.cache/mozilla. I'll try to find out what's the reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198632 Title: bleachbit breaks firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bleachbit/+bug/1198632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1198632] Re: bleachbit breaks firefox
On my system BleachBit deletes ~/.cache/mozilla too, but it doesn't affect Firefox's ability to startup. I just tried it on another Ubuntu system, and Firefox works OK after the directory is removed. The purpose of storing the Firefox and other caches in one directory is so they can be deleted using standard tools like BleachBit or "rm -rf ~/.cache". So I think there may be something unique to your system. For example, maybe your Linux distribution has a special Firefox patch, or you have a certain Firefox addon, or a Firefox setting that doesn't like the cache being removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198632 Title: bleachbit breaks firefox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bleachbit/+bug/1198632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Did you restore ~/.cache or ~/.config?

It was closed. I've just reproduced the bug to get this screenshot. Recreating the ~/.cache/mozilla folder doesn't help.
