Every time I boot up firefox I get the "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" error which i have to close multiple times for me to even access firefox and when i want to open up a new tab the same error pops up. Ive tried deleting profiles, creating new ones, deleting profiles.ini, nothing seems to fix the issue.

Usually that error is all or nothing and Firefox wouldn't run at all...

Is there anything special about the way you run Firefox, for example, using a command-line switch, sandbox program, or virtual machine?
