Note only delete or remove a profile if do not want to try and recover it. I am not person for working with those files.

What did you try so far?

You can check for problems with the profiles.ini file [1] that registers profiles.

You can delete the profiles.ini file [1] to make Firefox create a new (default) profile or use the Profile Manager [2] to create a new profile or register an orphaned profile that isn't listed in the Profile Manager.

You can find the profiles.ini file in this hidden location:

  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/

"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
