Firefox was updating itself on my computer ( not on this iPhone) and in the process all of it disappeared, bookmarks, data, etc. If I try to open it, message appears which says “Profile Missing: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible”.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
