I really doubt it will help you as I don't see why the bookmarks or
remembered websites would interfere with normal browsing operation. I
would look elsewhere for the cause. Anyway, you can locate your profile
with these instructions:

Your going about it wrong.

Leave FF alone.

Locate all your FF Profile folders dump them and empty the Trash/Trash Bin.

Then FF has to start from scratch of course you'll you'll kill your
email addresses and Bookmarks if you do that unless you back just those up.
