Hello. Used an online translator. At office a local network with the domain. All profiles of users are stored by politicians of the domain in network folders on the server by means of equipment "the redirection of folders". With the Firefox updating to version 20 it ceased to work. Pages which were stored in the bookmarks open only, new pages don't open, in general occurs nothing as though to buttons of transition to the page actions aren't appropriated, all search engines were gone. Full removal of the program and repeated installation doesn't solve a problem with a profile. Helps, only creation of a local profile, but it not a solution.

Sorry,
This is a known issue due to use of UNC paths not being supported properly by Firefox 20

There will be a special ("Chemspill") Release of Firefox. It will be Firefox 20.0.1 and probably will be released Wednesday 10th April.

If you are unable to wait for that install Firefox ESR 17 .

Firefox17 ESR is secure, up-to-date, unaffected by this issue and intended specifically for enterprise / corporate use.

This is a related thread, and contains a suggested workaround /questions/955232#answer-424739 whilst continuing to use Firefox 20.0.0

It is a pity those corporate users not using ESR apparently do not test out the pre-release versions in their IT departments. At least the later two Aurora and Beta

  2. Aurora http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-aurora.html
  3. Beta http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/

Maybe it is possible to map this network share to a drive letter instead and update the profiles.ini file accordingly.
