It happens to me all the time and really sucks. For me it asks which profile to use and the default one isnt there. Eventually it switches back to the original profile but thats normally a lot later.

This happened to me like 3 times before, but then I found out a way to get past it. When you open up your firefox, and it asks you for the profile, press ctrl+alt+del, then go to Processes. Choose "End Process" on all of your firefox.exes (I always found two when this happened). Then start up firefox again, and it should be fine, all bookmarks there, and everything.

Cause it's buggy. Nah just joking. Have any of you searched the net for a solution? I never had that problem. What version of Firefox are you using? I do not have the time but have a look at the latest STARTUP AND PROFILE bug fixes here:
