What article or instructions did you find that you are having problems with? Why are you trying to remove the Firefox profile folder?

See the Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data article for help opening the Firefox profile folder from within Firefox. If you need to get to the Firefox profile folder without opening Firefox: From your home folder open /Library/, then /Application Support/, then /Firefox/, then /Profiles/. Your profile folder is within this folder.

Mac OS X 10.7: Mac OS X Lion hides the ~/Library folder by default. You can open it in Finder by holding down the Option key while opening the Go menu, then selecting Library. Once it's open, you can drag the small icon of a folder in the header of the Library's window into the Favorites section of the Sidebar, where it will be conveniently accessible whenever you want. (ref.) For other solutions see this osxdaily article or this CNET article.
