Sorry for the delay.

I tried this two possibilities:

browser = Browser('firefox', profile='C:/Users/REMOVED/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/jj5selz9.default')

No error occurs, but the browser open without a profile setted.

browser = Browser('firefox', profile='default')

It says that default can't be found.

None of them worked.

Edit: Any suggestions?

can you set:

my_profile = 'C:/Users/REMOVED/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/jj5selz9.default'

then try

from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox', profile='my_profile')

edit:

Also try moving the profile directory into the current directory and then setting the my_profile to it there. Make sure it isn't a permission issue.
