Are there still profile folders present in that location?

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Note that the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.

You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:

  • Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
  • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
  • Use "Choose Folder" when crating a new profile to recover an existing profile if there is still one present
