i created a second profile yesterday. after starting the pc today, firefox opened and was empty/clean looking into the about:profile it said that i have two profiles but both were empty/clean looking into appdate structure > profiles i found 5 profile folders i tried deleting the profiles.ini, it created a new one but with the same new profiles i restarted the pc and had again 2 new empty profiles i tried creating a new profile with an existing file path and now i have 8 profile folders restarting again didnt create new profiles then i tried the "clean firefox" function but all i have after the restart are the 3 empty profiles again

how can i open the old profiles, of which the folders still seem to be there?
