I was having a java problem in Firefox so I uninstalled clean and deleted my profiles folders. I am trying to reinstall but it keeps saying there's already a version open and there are no new profiles folders there. Is there a way to reinstall so this browser will work again?

If you delete profiles.ini then Firefox will create a new default profile.
