2016-04-20 - Tested and works for Pale Moon Version: 26.2.1 (x64). I found the answer through people on Firefox with this problem, so it ought to work for recent Firefox users as well.

From what I can tell, users of old versions of Firefox could just delete download.rdf from their profile directory.

• Install SQLite Manager
• Restart your web browser if the addon installation asks you to.
• Visit about:support
• Next to "Profile Folder", click [Show Folder]

• "Copy" the location bar.

  • e.g. C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\profiles\abcd1234.default
• Go back to your web browser
• In your browser's menu, pick Tools > SQLite Manager
• In SQLite Manager's menu, pick Connect > Database

• "Paste"

  • You're pasting the location of your profile folder, which you copied earlier.
• Choose content-prefs
• On the left, click and un-fold "Tables"
• On the left, click "prefs"

• In the main window on the right, you will see entries which are not valid. For each, right-click and pick "delete"

  • In my case, I had to delete the four bottom entries, because they used Linux-style directories. Perhaps the problem is the same for you, or you have UTF "fancy" characters.
• In the menu, click Database > Close Database
• Close the SQLite Manager window.

• Restart your web browser.
