[MacOS] Firefox not opening even once, stuck on not responding even after reinstalling
While following this step in order to reduce CPU and memory consumption of firefox [content-prefs.sqlite file], I accidently deleted the Profile folder itself.
After this firefox wasn't opening and was stuck on not responding in activity monitor.
I reinstalled firefox, multiple times even after a shutdown, removing any old files in the Library folder. Still it's stuck on the same issue, firefox doesn't opens up even once.

One of the solution that I got accidently is, to install firefox twice.
- When you try to install firefox when it's already present it will ask to Keep Both, Stop or Replace.
- Here choose Keep Both, now in launchpad you won't see the second install.
- Go into Applications folder there you will see Firefox 2, click on this and use firefox normaly.
You can delete the application named Firefox, but don't rename the Firefox 2 as Firefox or as it will also stop working. Very weired probably due to some, refractoring issue in the name.
NOTE: This is a hacky solution and not a FIX.
