**[Environment:]**
*Windows 10, Windows 7, Osx 10.14

**[Description:]**
Although the steps to reproduce this are on the edge case side, there might be other paths that could generate this reported behavior.

**[Steps to reproduce:]**
1. Clean environment (not absolutely necessary, just simplifies the test case and helps keeping track of the profiles)
2. Install/extract Firefox with dedicated profiles.
3. Start Firefox with dedicated profiles. (without using profile manager)
4. Using about:support open the profile location.
5. Close firefox while keeping open the profile location in a folder explorer.
6. Delete physically the profile folder that Firefox has created as dedicated profile.
7. Start Firefox with dedicated profiles. (with or without using profile manager) - just select the default-nighty profile.   
8. After step 7 fails, as expected with "Your profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.", start Firefox Profile manager and create a new profile.
9. Start Firefox with the new profile created at previous step and open about:profiles.


**[Actual Result:]**
*In about:profiles, @ step 9, two profiles are listed as in use and cannot be deleted: "default-nightly"(the deleted folder profile) and the one newly created after the "Your profile cannot be loaded... "

**[Expected Result:]**
Only the 2nd profile should be shown in use.
