I have seen this question already posed in the forums about updating the latest version of Firefox, however I am not trying to update the version, I am trying to download the latest version of Firefox to Windows through Chrome. I click the download button on the Mozilla website and I extract the file. At this point the computer asks me if I want to save the file or run the file. I have tried to just run the file and the computer shoots out this message "You may not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the currant user". The window gives me two options, "Run as currant user" (which closes everything when I choose it), and "Run as administrator" (which leaves me with a user name and password which are always wrong). I can't download Firefox and have tried alot of stuff. I feel like it is a security setting in my computer that needs to be adjusted but I don't know enough to start randomly tinkering around.
As in all Forums... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Began having problems when opening Firefox and trying to make Firefox the default browser. Windows 7 updated, AVG up-to-date and virus scans clean, MalwareBytes up-to-date and scans clean. Troubleshooting finally caused me to uninstall and try for clean install ... normal Windows 7 uninstall process successful. Made sure Firefox folder in "Program Files" was deleted.

This should be a simple process, as I have done it before on other computers - but the icon is only in my dock as a "?", which I click on , and then it opens up to the Fox/World icon. As soon as I shut down the computer - the Firefox icon disappears.
Persistent "Firefox profile cannot be loaded" error after update.

Hi!
After update to 56.0, I was getting multiple following messages when starting and/or using Firefox. Eventually, all my bookmarks loaded without problem, but the error windows appeared consistently:
"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
Attempted solutions (with no success):
- Delete %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/profiles.ini file - Delete the whole %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox folder - Re-install firefox - Delete the %appdata%/Mozilla folder, delete C:\ProgramFiles\Mozilla Firefox folder and re-install - Remove old profile and add new one using "firefox.exe -P" - Repeat some of the above 5x
Working solution: Reboot
- I noticed Kaspersky antivirus was demanding restart after its own update. - Firefox error said "inacsessible", and antivirus frequently locks out our files during development. - Kaspersky forces its plugins into browsers, so I gave restarting it a try. - The Firefox works after reboot with no errors even with the original (restored) contents of the %appdata%/Mozilla folder.
Suspected cause of the problem:
- The Kaspersky automatically installs its extension into browsers (even after manually removing or disabling them). - I suspect that the updates/installs somehow conflicted.
EDIT: Reformatting for better readability. Added missing info into "attempted" solutions.

Firefox has stopped working in my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now, and it will not load up.

How to export login information from Firefox Quantum

I set up a Linux OS on my computer and wanted to export all my login data from Firefox Quantum in Windows to it. I tried looking everywhere for what to do, but can't find anything. I've tried syncing my Firefox account, copying then pasting everything from my Firefox profile in Windows into the Firefox profile in Linux, however it only imported my bookmarks and none of my login information. Is there a way that I am missing or may have overlooked that will allow me to export all the login information so I don't have to reconfigure everything?

I downloaded Firefox 50 via the built in update. When I hit restart to install the update, I get a window saying that Firefox wants to install a "new helper tool" and that I need to enter an admin password to complete the update. I can't find anything about this "helper tool" in the release notes or through a google search. I was wondering just what is it? Running OSX 10.11.16. Thanks.

I set up Sync on my PC a few weeks ago in preparation for purchasing an iPad. I now have it.
I have just installed Foxbrowser and I am putting the code it gives me when I 'Paira Device'. The app just has a message saying it 'Cannot Setup Sync' pop up. I've been searching and I cannot find any results on this specific problem. The device shows that it cannot setu[ after I enter the code into FF on my PC, so it has some sort of connection.
I have seen a mention of sign in to sync. I don't have that option, just Tools>Setup Sync. I guess I would explain it that I have set the browser to look like its older version.
Thanks for any help.

I'm having all sorts of problems after Firefox automatically updated to 55.0.2 in Windows 7. It wouldn't run. It would start the service but would never actually open/launch the app. I uninstalled it and went to the 32bit d/l page to reinstall. But, it installed the 64 bit version (grrrr). Now, the biggest problem I am having is that when I click on a link in an email or office document, the browser doesn't launch or a new tab open. Instead, I get an error message: General Failure. The URL was: http://www.URL. Application not found.
Firefox is set to my default browser.
Any ideas?

I am currently trying to adapt/fix legacy add-ons after the update to Quantum. I concluded that installing the ESR version is the best option as it will allow time for me to adapt the way I use Firefox and find replacement add-ons.
However, I'm having trouble figuring out how I can install the ESR without messing up the already installed Quantum. I'm pretty good with computers but I'm no developer.
I want to have both installed, because I'm using the ESR to recover the data I had in my legacy add-ons; that I was using in the old version.
Thanks and I look forward to what the community can suggest.

RE: "Access Denied" question following install of Firefox. I have same problem. Details follow: I tried opening in Safe Mode which did not work. I have Administrative access. When I click the general tab in properties I get a message that "firefox.exe" does not exist. Neither that file nor any other "install" type of file appears in the Mozilla Firefox directory except for "uninstall". I have downloaded and tried to install seven times from six different sources, including Mozilla, all with the same results. I've also tried a number of solutions from the web for this error message with no greater success. I tried, first, doing an upgrade then deleted the older version of Firefox and have done "install" since. Avast, Malwarebytes and Threatfire have found no malware.
I have never had a similar problem with Firefox before and I've used it for years. Anyone have any ideas I haven't already tried? I'm tired of using Internet Explorer! RE: troubleshooting information below--Windown will not open the downloaded file.

I was using Firefox without problem until the last few weeks on my 3rd Gen Carbon X1 running fully-patched Windows 10 64-bit. At some point, it just stopped launching. I have tried everything suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-wont-start-find-solutions without luck.
In particular, I uninstalled Firefox with Windows 10 "Add and Remove Programs". Then I deleted all Mozilla/Firefox folders under \AppData. Then I went through the registry and deleted every Mozilla or Firefox key. I rebooted, and reinstalled Firefox from scratch using the installer. There are no errors on installation; however, when I then try to launch Firefox, nothing happens (the process is visible in task manager or pslist, but otherwise no windows opens). I have also tried launching firefox.exe from the command shell; likewise, no errors or other response--it just stays spawns the pid but then no window opens or other visible indication that Firefox is there.
I've tried variations on this uninstall/purge/reboot process several times without any progress. I just can't get firefox.exe to launch at all on this system. Otherwise, the box seems to functioning perfectly, and all other common web browsers work fine.
I've also tried launching in safe mode (via command line or keypress) but get no different result.
Any ideas for narrowing the issue?
Can someone please tell me where Firefox and all the other executable programmes, are stored on my Linux system?
Your educated guesses about your current browser and operating system seem to be correct. Derekeducated guesses about your current browser and operating system
Firefox Sync is missing saved logins (fetch data correctly but don't use it)

Hi,
I installed Firefox Nightly (56.0a1 (2017-07-22) (64-bit)) and enabled sync for bookmarks and passwords. Bookmarks were synced correctly, but not the passwords.
I can see a the file logins.json in my profile folder, with the logins content. But if I go to Preferences->Security->Saved Logins the list is empty. Also, logins form field are not auto filled.
None content was imported manually. Nightly somehow synced and downloaded the logins.json, but apparently it's not using it.
I already did this exact same process (reinstall in new machine + sync) without any problem, except for this time/version. May it be a bug?
I already tried some forum solutions: connect/reconnect account; delete signedInUser.json; restarting; etc. Everytime the logins.json is correctly fetched from the web with the content, or the bookmarks are synced correctly, but Nightly apparently is not 'using' the contents of this file.
Thank you,
Mario
