After a crash, I'm having a strange problem where firefox (nightly 69.0a1+20190604+hdfc513e7e141 , Arch Linux AUR package, under GNOME Wayland) only actually loads/renders web pages if run with the command-line switch

`--profile ~/.mozila/firefox/xxxxxxxx`

where `xxxxxxxx` is the path to the default profile. If I omit the command-line switch, firefox seems to run fine except that no connections are ever successfully made and all pages remain blanck.

I imagine there is a corrupted file somewhere but i don't understand why the default profile would work fine when it is explicitly invoked with the `--profile` switch, but not otherwise.

Thank yo uas always!

Just checked with a local file, and it appears that local resources load but all non-local resources are blocked -- they don't even appear in the network pane of the devtools. THank you for hte help!

When you start Nightly without a profile path, what profile does it use? Try loading the internal about:profiles page to see its name and path. There also is a possibility that it creates and uses a temporary profile. And/or that it's a new Nightly glitch that support forum volunteers won't know anything about.
