After installing Apple Ventura, and trouble with User Accounts, Firefox won't open, giving me the error message about not finding or having a Profile.

I did all of the suggested fixes on the Help pages, renaming files with "OLD" etc., finally deleting the entire Firefox folder in Library/Application Support, and the program still won't launch and gives me the same message about not finding a "profile."

Please advise how I can eradicate every trace of Firefox on the computer and start over; the program should create a new profile and let me use the program, but it's refusing to do so.

Hello! About two weeks ago I opened up Firefox, and found that certain - well most - websites got switched to a very dark mode that broke the website. Websites like Joann had all the background as black and when searching I could only see what was brought up when I moused over the option. The Chell in the Rain website is completely black when part of the appeal is the artwork. Youtube? Black. Libby? Black. Accuweather? Black. Google Docs... that's actually fine.

I don't mind dark mode, but it's broken how several of these websites work.

The websocket is working all the browser except only firefox. It gives error: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://cstechnologyindia.com/websocket1.

I am trying to solve it from past 2 days. I'm using a shared hosting. The hosting provider is saying that everything is perfect from our side. Now I'm hopeless. Please solve my problem anyone. Please check added image. Also I've valid https certificate. Please check attached image.

I'm currently working on building a website, and while testing several of the front end parameters I'm just hitting a wall with firefox incognito's ability to clear the cache.

After I clear the cache, it's obvious that it's worked on the regular browser, but no matter how many times I clear it, how long I wait (this has been a 2 day ordeal), or how much of the history, cookies, cache, etc that I clear, the private browser information will not clear. Closing all windows, restarting the computer doesn't work.

I've changed aspects to a form and other aspects to a particular page, and am in the middle of doing a conflict test so every one of my plugins are off so the site looks 100% different on the main browser, but the private browser is stuck in the past.

Thoughts?
