Why does Firefox ask me to create a new profile?

Unlike other web browsers, Firefox browsers need a profile to run the browser on any system. Usually, it operates using a simple default profile if the user hasn’t created any profile. Sometimes, the Firefox browser is downgraded in the system suddenly. This creates a problem since the profile created in the higher version of Firefox will not work and it will ask the user to create a new profile. Creating a new profile might cost you all the saved bookmarks and other data. In this case, you need to first import all your bookmarks and data to Chrome for a backup.
