Hi everyone.

I recently had to shut down my Linux machine with several Firefox tabs and windows open.

When the system came back up, I was unable to launch Firefox. When I tried, I received:

$ firefox

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /snap/firefox/2391/usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.so: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.

I'm running on Kubuntu.


Also, when I downloaded the portable version if Firefox (which ran) my profile was gone. None of my tabs, etc. When I ran the profile manager, the only other profile that was present was ancient!

So, I'd like to:

1. Fix Firefox so that the native version runs. 2. Recover my old tabs, windows and extensions.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Mike.

Well, this is interesting.

I woke up this morning to find my computer's filesystem had gone into read-only mode. So, I rebooted, fsck'ed the drive, and rebooted.

Lo and behold!! Firefox started up and restored all of my tabs and windows....

I had no other indications of problems before this. But I now know that my hard drive is failing... I'll do the needful.

In the mean time, riddle me this: "Where was my profile?"

Thanks for your time.

Mike.

I would try this... Download the ISO for your OS, make a live usb stick, boot it, and then find the file in the error message on live OS. Then move that file from the live OS to your installed OS and put it where the error says it should be.

May the Schwartz be with you!!!  ;-)) This sounds fun so let us know how it goes.

Lets get Firefox working and then we can shoot for the session restore.
