Sure...

Go to:

My Computer

  Local Disk (C:) (C drive)

   Documents and Settings

    YourUsername (this will be a folder with the same name as
                  the User you are logging in with)

     Application Data
(this is a hidden folder by default, so you may have to go to the Tools 
 > Folder Options > ViewTab and change the radio button choice to 'Show 
hidden files and folders)

Now, once in this folder, simply move the 'Mozilla' folder to your 
desktop. Be careful with this folder - it contains everything in your 
Firefox profile - bookmarks, etc., so don't 'delete' it, just move it.

Once you've done this, minimize the window, and start Firefox. It will 
automatically create a fresh, new profile. Now test.

Once you're done testing, if you want to keep the new profile, you can 
close Firefox and copy your bookmarks from your old profile to your new one.

There are other settings that can be transferred, but that is more 
complex than for what we are discussing. Google is your friend...
