This article may help you .

Let us know if this work .

Did you check if the two profiles are still present on the hard drive?

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

Sounds that there had been a problem with the profiles.ini file and the previous default profile got lost if the two profiles are still there, but only one shows in the Profile Manager.

If that is the case then you can use "Choose Folder" in the Profile Manager when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
