gardoskijoe, Firefox normally opens with the profile that has been set as the default, so you will need to make the original profile the default profile.

  1. Type or paste "about:profiles" into the address bar and press enter.
  2. Find the profile that you wish to set as the default in the list, and press its "Set as default profile" button.

Firefox should now start with the original profile from now on.
