Hi, you seem to have posted from an Android device, but I will assume that this relates to a Desktop version.

You don't need an account to use Firefox, although there are some services that require it, but in any case, that shouldn't create a new Profile.

For your missing data, please see Recover user data missing after Firefox update

From what you say, this is less likely than the above, but in case a Refresh has occurred, please look on your Desktop for a file named Old Firefox Data - Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please help other users by marking the best reply as Solved. Thank you!
