I have tried everything from uninstalling the firefox and remove all the folder containing firefox and doing fresh reinstall but still getting this error

your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible

I even try to create new profile by opening profile manager but that doesnot even open

I just want to delete or remove all the old profile that I have on this computer and start with fresh profile

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
