Sounds that there is a problem with the permissions of the profiles.ini file and that Firefox isn't able to update its content and register the profile properly.

  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

Try to delete the profiles.ini files and possibly the Firefox folder where the file should be as well.
