I'm thinking it has to do with the address listed in the comment:

Notice the example:
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ZjwI7Fo4.default\cache2
for some reason, mine has -release after default and the comment is leaving off the \cache2

Is it possible that there is something in the code that is truncating the line somehow, or the -release is throwing it off?


Oh, and I tried Jim's suggestion of closing FireFox and it did the same thing

The '-release' is added to current profile cache path by a new, clean Firefox install. The one I just installed in that Win10 virtual machine has a cache path pretty much identical to yours. Mine on my regular machine doesn't have it simply because it was installed about 7 years ago and has been upgraded successively with each release since then but it kept the old profile folder.

You could try altering the cache path to add/remove the \cache2 to see if it works if you want. Nothing to loose but a few seconds of editing and test time.

Are you running ANY extensions at all? There are extensions that can mess with caching trying to "speed up" or "improve" your browsing. I've found that they generally aren't worth messing with in the long run now (as opposed to the old days when they sometimes made a significant difference). The offer of the special test build from JimmXinu in the above post would also be worth trying.

Also, have you considered trying to load another browser like Chrome, Vivaldi, or Edge? You could also try Waterfox 3rd gen or Waterfox Classic if you want to stick with a Mozilla-based browser. I've successfully used all of these with FFF while simultaneously installed on the same machine (switching between them by just commenting out the different cache path lines in [defaults] in personal.ini.
