If you do not get the Profile Manager then that means that Firefox already has been started and is still running.

Are there any Firefox processes showing on the Processes tab in the Task Manager?

Did you look for a profiles.ini file?

Did you ever reset Firefox and have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop?
