I have a problem. I was using Nightly and sudenly after one of updates I can't open it. Every time it asks me about administrator permission and when I click "Yes", it asks me again and again and again. When I turned off "run as administrator" option, nothing happens after opening nightly. I tried reinstalling it, deleting all files, profiles. I even waited few days and downloaded newest version of nightly, but still the problem remains. One day or two before this problem I turned on webrender, but I don't think it's the source of this problem, beacuse right now I'm using Firefox Beta with this option.

[I didn't knew where to post it. On support.mozilla or on bugzilla. I posted it only here, but if I should post it on bugzilla, just let me know.]

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

hi, what kind of security software is running on the affected system?

IObit Malware Fighter and IObit Advanced SystemCare. I tried turning them off and opening nightly, but it didn't helped.

Strange that Firefox Beta is working fine.

No solution?

Did you try a clean reinstall of the current Nightly as a normal user (i.e. remove the Nightly program folder)?

You can also ck for issues with the MMS (Mozilla maintenance service) and uninstall and reinstall this service as well.
