Firefox won't open on my new imac, get message in a red bar stating "bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in us
I have a new iMap using 10.9 OS. All was working fine for several weeks, then I got the above error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and when I open it I get a window with the above statement in a red box across the top of the window, and am unable to get into Firefox to do any of the suggested fixes.

Try to delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

Thanks, but I can't get into Firefox to delete places.sqlite or do anything, the site is frozen or whatever, can't get into history, bookmarks, help, etc. All I have is a spinning wheel. Sorry, I am not good at any of this, so I apologize for being so dense.
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
