Comment (by fixtbb):

 Never try to install portable software to "Windows-protected" folders!
 (C:\Program Files, %username%\Desktop, etc)
 (I've had a hard time to reproduce your issue on all my Windows 7-10
 machines, because I never install something to Windows-specific folders
 without a reason.)
 The first error is
 {{{
 08:08:53.543 uncaught exception: Error opening input stream (invalid
 filename?): chrome://browser/content/ext-c-browser.js 1 (unknown)
 }}}
 then there're some from extensions and the last is #27261.
