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
