I just recovered from a web browser hijack. The cleaning process with Spy Hunter antivirus,deleted all my Firefox profiles,including my profile manager. How can I reinstall Firefox? I always get the message "profile not found missing or deleted"

hi mjordy, assuming you're on windows please try the following: press windows-key+R and open %appdata%. in there rename the folder called "mozilla" to something like Mozilla.old and try to launch firefox again afterwards - this should generate a new profile...

Thanks to all for your tips, I managed to download Firefox in another language and then to dowload a fresh copy in English,and I'm back in business!
