Can you reboot the computer please

Right after the reboot don't open any other windows
Go to START>>RUN
type in the following below into the open field

firefox.exe -profilemanager

Should open your profilemanager
Remove the new profile you made

Backing up bookmarks is a good idea
You can do that from Manage bookmarks>>File menu

Also note
Firefox 1.5 is now out in final release
It's suppose to somewhat address the problem

Keep in mind, not all extensions are compatible yet until the developers of the extensions have updated on their ends
