why do I need a profile when I am the only one using my computer and programs

I really don't need a profile in Firefox and if I delete the profiles listed, you will wipe out all my bookmarks/settings. Why do I need to see a yellow triangle on the Firefox app icon?

Hello

You cannot run Firefox without a profile. A profile isn't a social media account or a login, its simply the folder on your hard drive where Firefox saves your personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and user preferences in a set of files called your profile, which is stored in a separate location from the Firefox program files. If you delete your profile, you delete your data.

That yellow triangle maybe is the "Sync" Warning (you can share a printscreen).
