My old profile was deleted. I reinstalled Firefox 40.0 and cannot restore the old. How do I create a new account. I get this message when I open -Profile Missing-Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

It is gone. What do I do?

Hello, try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profile. (you can also rename the profiles.ini to profiles.iniOLD if you do not want to delete it).
