Any attempt to launch firefox produces the error message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inacessible".

Hello aharris5752, Type %APPDATA% in your Run Box > open Mozilla folder > open Firefox folder > which contains the profiles.ini file (see screenshot how looks like) and rename it to profiles.iniOLD then the next time you start Firefox it will open with a new default profile, just as though you installed Firefox for the first time.

see for more info : Creating a new default profile
