Firefox supportforum

How it happened: 1. I installed Anaconda(python3.7) and Visual Studio 2015 (to get the required C++ for TensorFlow) 2. Decided to uninstall Anaconda and Visual Studio 2015 and restarted which is when firefox gave the error vcruntime140_1. dll was not found. 3. I downloaded and installed vc_redist.x64 and restarted 4. Firefox does not give an error anymore but no websites appear (just bank screen). I can see the firefox dropdown tab for options, but clicking options does nothing

What I've tried: 1. Uninstalled firefox using an uninstaller that removes residual files 2. Re-installing firefox 3. Running firefox in safemode and clicking 'restore' as well as trying it in safemode

Chrome is working with no issues, but I prefer firefox.

Have re-installed FF several times, no improvement in initial startup time. Often have to initiate as admin.

73.0.1 (32-bit)

This HP Elitebook 840 G3 running Windows 10 v 1903 64-bit. Have to be careful re-installing as FF wants to make my extensions in GERMAN! Are OK now (see attachment). Have test-removed AdGuard, NO difference, so added it back.

NOTE: screenshot is long out-of-date: AdNauseum removed long before this issue started

Hi. I use Firefox from many years. Today I was trying to inspect a my web page which looks strange in my Firefox for Android but I just can't. In my desktop I have Firefox 73.0.1 and in my Android phone I have Firefox 68.5.0. If I try to connect I get a message which tells to update Firefox from 68.5 to 71.0 (minimum supported version) but I can't find this version anywhere. I have installed Firefox Nightly for Developer in my phone but now the problem is that the version is too recent... What should I do?

The installation progress bar stops at about 75% and then a message appears saying, ‘Hmm. For some reason, we could not install Firefox. Choose OK to start again’. BUT it won’t start again and if I try to download from your website, the whole process happens again. This is very frustrating as many of the websites I use, are linked to Firefox. Please advise.

Hi all

For security reasons, all new FF distributions are tested. When checking the distribution kit version 68.5.0esr (exe for x86 and x64) - the antivirus software "VirusTotal" detected Trojan.Inject.bcbj. FortiSandbox also scolded the distribution on x86 - saying that it deleted the file "% programfiles (x86)% \ google \ update \ 1.3.33.17 \ googlecrachhandler.exe" - its installation is undesirable in the ESR version.

I tried to open Firefox yesterday and got the following error message:

Mozilla-Firefox 64bit. A required privilege is not held by the client.

I uninstalled Firefox thinking that reinstalling would fix the problem but when I attempted to reinstall Firefox I got the same error message.

This is on a Windows 10 64bit machine.

Hi,

I have spent hours dealing with this issue. I hope someone is able to assist me.

I ran into some issues with Firefox so I went to reinstall it but I am unable to open it. I noticed even after uninstalling it it was still showing up when I do control/alt/del. I have tried to close it but it won't close. I have tried almost every option I can find online to force close it.

My issue is when trying to open my new version of Firefox I am told I have a version running and must close it.

I have tried to delete it I don't know how many times.

I am running Windows 10.

Is someone able to assist me? It would greatly be appreciated.

I hope someone can help me as this is getting very frustrating.

Thank you .

Overnight (I changed nothing, but microsoft rebooted my computer and I don't see any new files installed or updates) Firefox will not work. I can see it start up in task manager (two processes) but within 1 second both are gone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. Same problem. This is Windows 10 v 1909. Firefox will not start in safe mode. I cannot find any crash files (in the past month).

Recently I've been having trouble with the dropdown menus in Firefox, such as the History and Bookmarks menu in the tool bar and the right-click menu. Intermittently when I open the menus they close within a second or two without me doing anything. This only happens in the Firefox window, all of my other apps and browsers are fine.

I'm running on a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.15.1 and Firefox 70.0.1. I've restarted Firefox and it fixes the problem for a short time then the problem returns. I've cleared my History, including Caches and Cookies, reinstalled Firefox, restarted my computer and tried disabling my add-ons. The issue keeps coming back.

After applying the current update, Firefox will not launch. It was set to run as administrator. However, after clicking YES to the Windows10 pop-up prompt to allow Firefox to run as administrator, the Windows 10 pop-up prompt keeps coming up and Firefox will not launch. I cannot uncheck the RUN AS ADMIN from the PROPERTIES window. Help please … ASAP!!

Firefox won't even start. I tried 'safe mode' but that didn't work either. I also tried to get the 'crash report' but I received a note indicating location not available. When I try the install I get, 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item'.

Hello everybody, i have just finished a big long windows update and since then i cannot open the firefox browser. Even if i download a new firefox version i cannot open it: In the 2 instances, a window pops up with this message "<window id="main-window". Thank you for your time and your help. Patrick

After Firefox updated to 67 it won't load any pages. Chrome and Opera both work normally. I went through all the recommendations including the firewall changes, disabling IPv6, etc. and there was no difference.

Foxfire auto updated the program and it lost all bookmarks and even login. The result is I cannot do anything with my computer that needs the internet. I have spent many hours trying the suggested fixes and I cannot get them back and I do not have my password so that I cannot change if for fear I will loose access to the bookmarks. There seems to be no accountability from Mozilla and no way to reach any one. Is anyone else having this problem.

I like Firefox but sad to say that I have increasinlt wasted much time lately with its crashy ways and I made the mistake of using Refresh today.

Now get a message when I try open the app saying "copy of firefox is already open" which it is not true and it is not showing as running on the system.

I have tried reinstalling and it makes no difference.

I dont have an IT engineering degree but how do I fix this before I just give up and walk away? Thanks.

hi i have a .... to me ... big problem.

firefox will not even start and stay up. i can hardly even get the crash message up and the widow goes away.

firefox just crashes before its had a chance. downloaded new and same thing happens. a crash report comes up but i can't get the report written before its gone.

installed new version of mozilla. still persists

so i followed the prompts form here, "You should copy the Report IDs for submitted crash reports (they start with bp-) to your support question in the Community Support forum."

and i get this, Crash ID: bp-74f92cba-0ebf-43ba-a7bc-2a1871171126

can you help me pls. thnx brian

FireFox ver 64 works flawlessly, but v 65 will not run on my machine no matter what I have tried!

Symptoms with v65:

Intermittently does not start, hit icon again then loads but doesn't connect. Very slow when it loads. firefox.exe does not unload from memory, has to be shut in task manager

What I have tried so far;

FireFox refresh. unstall / reinstall uninstall uBlock Origin sfc /scannowall uninstall Avast uninstall VPN Delete all firefox files on system disk + delete all registry entries then reinstall. Install from full version .exe Removed VPN (Private Internet Access) Updated Windows and any and all drivers.

What am I missing ?

TIA, George...

I had Firefox 62.0.2 running on my Mac, with extensions like Ad Blocker and Translations, but as it was real real slow, I had asked to run without extensions, and the next time it responded with the "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." so I had followed all the advice published on the www, but after 2 days, found none of the answers and suggestions is working or is applicable, so I had implemented few removals and new installations of the application - but, always getting the same famos ”Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." and A Freeze during the "verification of firefox.app" each time, on completely new installation!

In fact, the Firefox/extensions folders were never created on my Mac (On new install, as well) but the application was working for a long time, and there was/is a Mozilla folder which seems to hold my Chrome (add-ons) but no Firefox folder exists on this and my other Mac in the Library/Application Support.

I even removed my Chrome and reinstalled it to see if it can be done, and there was no problem in new Chrome installation - as it is with Firefox 62.0.2

When I tried to start Firefox after it had crashed i got the "Your profile cannot be loaded" error. I to reinstall it but the error persisted. I then googled and found that you could remove profiles.ini and ~/.cache/mozilla/. I've removed both of these as well as reinstalling Firefox multiple times.

But it still show the error message. It even "spread" to Thunderbird.

I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.
