Check if you still have a profiles.ini file left if you've only deleted the Firefox profile folder:

  • /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/

If you still have a profiles.ini file, but the profile folder is gone then delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.
