I was directed to refresh Firefox, but my profile was lost. I tried to uninstall/reinstall but I just get a No Profile screen when I try to open Firefox.

This might be a repeat, just with different phrasing...

Possibly your Refresh was interrupted (or crashed) and did not run to completion. In that situation, Firefox is looking for a profile folder that was removed or was not created successfully.

To get up and running, you can create a new profile as described in this help article, and then migrate data over to the new profile.
