Some more info? Version and platform at least?
First guess would be permissions of user directory incorrect.

Check if you have a profiles.ini file in the "%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\" folder (Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox; Mac:~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/).
This usually happens when the profile that is marked in the profiles.ini file as Default=1 is missing.
If there is still a profiles.ini file, but the profile folder is no longer present then delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.
Otherwise you can create a new profile and use "Choose Folder" to recover an existing profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
