Hi Pelle,
Why did you delete your profile? Also how? Did you use the profile manager or did you delete from the windows file structure?
It sounds like something during the profile delete has stopped Firefox from starting up. Please see the this article and follow the steps: Please see this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use

That happens if you delete the Firefox Profile Folder but leave the profiles.ini file.
The solution is to use the Profile Manager and delete that no longer present profile and create a new profile or delete the profiles.ini file.
