After downloading Firefox, I get a message that the profile can not be accessed [because it no longer exists]. Is there a way to install Firefox as a "new" user so Firefox will set up a new profile?

In your case solution is to remove the C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini file.
