Just purchased a new computer that has Windows 10 installed. I have tried several times to install Firefox but get the same error message every time I try to install the program. It states Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. There is obviously a problem installing Firefox but no way to diagnose if it never gets installed properly using the provided install program. How can this be corrected?

I am using whatever version is being downloaded when I click the "download" button on the Firefox home page.
