Firefox wont open
Hello, Using windows 10. Firefox wont open but get a box telling me old Firefox is running needs to be closed. Have shut it down but still nothing happens. I think I may have backed up my bookmarks on my PC but not sure where they are? Also tied entering and this dispalys C:\Users\Chris>AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ 'AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Help please to restore Firefox and hopefully not loose my bookmarks?
Thank you

Took 2 attempts and a reboot but using Task Manager cleared the old FireFox. Many thxs. Only concern is why i got the error message in command prompt re not finding my profile?

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar.
How many profiles are listed?
How many should be there?
Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
Only the Default I created today so that Firefox would open
Root Directory C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5neluwfr.Default User Local Directory C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5neluwfr.Default Use
Which profile folder? Local or Roaming?
C:\Users\Fred\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
