I've downloaded Firefox yet every time I try to open it I get the following message: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. How do I find or load my "Firefox profile"?

Chosen solution

Do you still have a default profile and is the profile as you see in the profiles.ini marked as Default=1 still present?

Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.
