your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible - AD multiple profiles
I have a new ubunutu 16.04 machine which I recently connected to my workplace domain where multiple users login to the same machine with there workplace account names. When a user login to the machine it logins successfully but when try to open firefox get this message
your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible
I tried some suggested solutions:
sudo chmod -R 777 .mozilla/ rm -rf ~/.mozilla/ rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla/ https://askubuntu.com/a/314915/304905
I tried all these but nothing worked. I wonder how I can fix this permanently from my machine local admin account so that when a new user logins to the machine for the first time firefox works without problems and without him having to do something?

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

It's ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Firefox is 65.0.1
Any idea?

This is usually an issue with an existing profiles.ini file that points to a non existing profile.
Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
