"Profile Missing. Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Please do not tell me to check my Library for the Firefox folder because it does not exist. Nor can I go to the help menu of Firefox because I am unable to open Firefox. I am on a Macbook Pro 10.9.1.

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

Did you ever delete a profile folder yourself manually?

This is always caused by a missing profile folder, but the profiles.ini file that registers the previously used default profile is still there.
