Are you talking about your Firefox profile?

Hello,

Could you explain, in details, what happened? Did updated Firefox, or reinstalled Ubuntu, or done anything else that could have changed your settings?

Well..I think I may have clicked to open Firefox twice. So it asked me what profile I wanted to use..I'm completly lost when it comes to Linux.

Try shutting down all running instances of Firefox, then opening a fresh
one. Sometimes, if the profile is "busy", opening a second instance can
cause the "select a profile" dialog to pop up.

Did you created a new profile, when you got the dialog box?

Can you help with this problem?
