Few months back I upgraded to Lion. Used Terminal to unhide the library folder. At this time it is visible, but nothing in it about Firefox. Where did the folder go? I am wanting to save my settings,etc for it, as I have done so in the past but not showing up. I went to library/application support.....not in there.....?????

The profile is indeed located at ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles. Since you can't seem to find it, open up Firefox and go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Application Basics > Profile Folder > Show in Finder.
