Firefox wouldn't open at all. I created a new profile and this seemed to fix it. I deleted the the old profile but did NOT delete the files. Now I can't find them to copy the ones I need. Where do the old profile files go? Thanks

See profiles for details of how to find the profile folders.

How did you delete that profile?

You can use "Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder" to go to the current profile folder and go back one level to the Firefox folder to see all the profile folders.
