firefox does not detecting manually created profile automatically...why?
some day suddenly my firefox was not starting and it was giving error "You profile is missing, Can not start firefox " So searching on the internet i create manual profile by going to profile manager and firefox started
but whenever i closes the firefox, and again starts it it gives same error. But my manually created profile exist there in AppData folder, so what can be the issue...? Want some fruitful answer, Because everytime i'm creating new profile when i need to start firefox.

If you have a profile that doesn't show in the Profile Manager and want to (re)register it then use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the "Choose Folder" button and browse to the unregistered profile to make Firefox use this profile.
- open the Profile Manager
- click "Create Profile" and read the text
- click Next to proceed to the window where you can either accept the default or choose an existing folder to use for the profile
- click "Choose Folder" and browse to the profile folder you want to register
You can give this profile a descriptive name that will show in the Profile Manager if you like. Click "Start Firefox" to start Firefox with the selected profile Note that you should never specify a folder via "Choose Folder" that already has other files in it, but either select a valid profile or an empty folder. Firefox will recognize and use this folder and you will have access to all personal data (bookmarks and other data) that is stored in this profile.
what you said i did it already...
but the problem is occurring if i started the firefox by creating a profile ,then its working now suppose i closed the firefox and again i want to start firefox then again ineed to create profile that i don't want
even i reinstalled the firefox by uninstalling the old one
