I saved my folder profile from another pc, something went wrong when pasting it to this pc, now I can't even install Firefox at all!

I copied my profile of a pc folder and went to paste into the spot on the next pc profile, according to the instructions on the web page of Firefox. Of course, I did something wrong, because I got a pop up that said that it could not access my profile, or something (don't remember). So I uninstalled and reinstalled or tried, but it gets at the end of the installation, when it would normally launch FF, I get a pop up saying your profile could not be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
I think he "installed" correctly, because it is the FF icon in my taskbar and the shortcut on my desktop.
HEEELP!

Here's a guess:

If you had already installed Firefox, then deleted the default profile, he has created:

The problem may be that Firefox has a record of this missing folder and does not see your new. Check the following to a file called profiles.ini path:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

Note: by default, AppData is a hidden folder. If you do not, you can use this 'shortcut' instead (paste into the search box or address bar of Windows Explorer):

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox

Open it in Notepad or another text editor and change the folder name to match the one that you copied on the profile.

What is the scenario/solution?
