Hello,

You can create a new profile and launch Firefox with that new profile, so it won't need to access your roamed profile. Here's how:

  1. Close Firefox, if it's already running
  2. Press "Windows key"+R
  3. In the Run dialog box, type firefox.exe -P and press Enter
  4. Now you can create a new profile and launch Firefox with that profile
