Error message

Firefox profile path does not exist or is not a directory: {fp_profile_path}

What it means

ValueError raised in Twitter.__init__ when the configured Firefox profile path fails os.path.isdir, i.e. it does not exist or is a file. The check runs before selenium-wire's Firefox options attach `-profile`, so the browser never launches.

Solutions

1. Verify the path exists: `ls -la <fp_profile_path>` and confirm it is a directory
2. Use an absolute path to the Firefox profile in config.json
3. If the profile was moved, update the fp_profile_path setting
4. Create/restore the profile (run Firefox once with -P to materialize it)

Example fix

# before
fp_profile_path = "~/mozilla/firefox/xyz.default-release"
# after
import os
fp_profile_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.expanduser("~/mozilla/firefox/xyz.default-release"))
assert os.path.isdir(fp_profile_path), fp_profile_path

import os
path = os.path.abspath(os.path.expanduser(fp_profile_path))
if not os.path.isdir(path):
    raise SystemExit(f"Configure Firefox profile at {path}")

def is_valid_profile_path(p: str) -> bool:
    import os
    return isinstance(p, str) and os.path.isdir(os.path.expanduser(p))

try:
    twitter = Twitter(fp_profile_path)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Bad profile config: {e}"); raise

When it happens

Trigger: Instantiating the Twitter class with an fp_profile_path that is missing, misspelled, a plain file, or on an unmounted volume while get_headless() is being configured.

Common situations: config.json pointing to a Windows path on Linux, profile directory moved/deleted, relative path resolved from wrong CWD, or fresh clone without profile setup.
