Icecat fails to start with "your icecat profile cannot be loaded. It
may be missing or inaccessible."

Hi,

I think that this has to be fixed upstream in the Icecat (or even Firefox)
project one way or another.

Could you back up ~/.mozilla/icecat ?

If you then rename ~/.mozilla/icecat to something else, your old profile
will be gone and a new one will be created and it will start up.

There's also a command line option for icecat to specify another directory
(--profile ...), but not sure whether it would create a new one, too.

You can also start icecat with the ‘--ProfileManager’ option for 
the slightly more user-friendly GUI edition.

Kind regards,

deleting the directory and --ProfileManager flag don't help

Nathan,

Did you delete (back up) your entire ~/.mozilla, not just the 
‘icecat’ subdirectory?

Kind regards,

Great!  Closing this bug, since it's both ‘fixed’ and not 
Guix-specific.

Kind regards,

For the record, that probably means that a Firefox extension misbehaved.
