Thanks for your reply.
In the 'Firefox' at the above path, there are subfolders, 'Crash
Reports' and 'Profiles'. But the 'Profiles' is empty. I wonder what has
happened with it. BTW: I could find the profile.ini of TBird.

...or better %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox which works for all versions of
Windows. To access it click start -> Run and paste it in there and press OK.
