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.

I have been having problems with firefox lately. Every time I try to run the program it automatically closes without giving an error message. I am running Windows 10 and this happens in safe mode as well. I have tried doing a clean install of firefox - that did not fix the problem. I tried deleting my profile after uninstalling then doing a fresh install, this did not fix the problem either. I ran a virus scan and did not detect any malware. I don't know what else to try.

System suddenly changed IE to default browser for Thunderbird messages. Going through Settings, Defaults, Firefox is not an option, the icon is not there. The main issue is Thunderbird now opens messages in IE all of a sudden instead of Firefox. In Firefox Options, I click on set default and it comes up with IE or search store for an app. I'd be grateful for any help.

I used to not have issues with Firefox but in recent weeks Firefox has crashed so much that it's becoming increasingly unusable for me - I've had 63 crashes in the last 24 hours, including 6 in the process of writing this post. The crashes do not seem to be caused by any specific website or action, and they still occur in safe mode. It is becoming increasingly rare for Firefox to last more than a few minutes without crashing. Any information that would alleviate me of this problem would be greatly appreciated. Some error reports are listed below:

Firefox Headless ---Screenshot not working for local HTML files

I'm unable to generate a screenshot of a local HTML file using Firefox's (v60.9.0) [headless mode][1]
Here's the command I'm using:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P AJ --screenshot test.png "file:///C:/html_export.html"
I've tried with and without a profile and with different numbers of slashes after file. There are no errors in the command line - it just doesn't generate an output.
This command works fine when I substitute the file:// with an external website like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P AJ --screenshot test.png google.com
Could it be related to the [redirect bug mentioned here][2]?
Any help is appreciated! Perhaps theres a way to turn on output verbosity for --headless mode?

Firefox updated yesterday and ever since then it will not open at all. I am running the latest macOS on a MacBook Air. It just bounces on the Dock once then doesn't open at all. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling AND I even tried to downgrade back to 70.0.1 and it STILL didn't work. It won't even open in Safe Mode.

I am typing this on Microsoft Edge browser.
I am getting angrier and angrier. I allowed Firefox to "update" my browser. The result is that my browser will no longer connect to the internet. Edge, Internet Explorer, and Chrome can all connect to the internet. Firefox cannot.
I have rebooted my computer. I have looked through the HELP stuff. There is ZERO way to connect to a HUMAN BEING and I am PISSED. I have work to do. There are other browsers that obviously work, but Firefox has all of my bookmarks, with logon credentials.
I do NOT want to migrate to another browser but it is looking like my only choice. If I have to do that I will uninstall Firefox and spread the word.
I am sorry to sound like a dick but you have really screwed me over.

Web pages get stuck on 'Looking up...' and cycle through a lot of unrelated pages

Hello,
My Firefox browser (72.0, 64-bit, Win8.1) became slower at loading pages with the previous update, and I've noticed that it's caused by the same problem on each page to varying degrees. I'll click on a page to load it, then the black 'finding' dot on the tab will bobble about a bit, then it turns to the blue 'connecting' dot and keeps loading for minutes. At the bottom left the page will say 'Looking up...' and will start off with the right or at least a reasonable address, such as www.google.com etc, but then it will keep going and come up with a load of random pages that all seem connected with adverts, tracking or monitoring. For example, looking up 'www.ikea.com' took 4 minutes 23 seconds from entering it to it loading fully. In that time covered the following:
Looking up www.ikea.com Looking up fonts.googleapis.com Looking up www.googletagmanager.com Looking up www.facebook.com Read s.salecycle.com Looking up www.facebook.com Looking up (numbers and letters).cloudfront.net Looking up www.google-analytics.com TLS handshake with i.salecycle.com Sending i.salecycle.com Looking up www.google-analytics.com Waiting for www.google-analytics.com
I don't have this problem with anything else connected to the network - I tested the WiFi connection just now on my Xbox and got 35.73, 34.31 and 35.94mb/s, but trying to load broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk on Firefox took 16m 13s just to load the page, and it's not even got near to starting the test. In that time I tried to write down all the pages it listed as looking up, waiting for, reading or TLS handshake with..., and have 44 different addresses that it was cycling through (probably more as some were very rapid) including:
us.creative.com cdn.cabla.to ap.lijit.com fw.adsafeprotected.com secure.adnxs.com pc.moatads.com ws.sessioncam.com sync.tidaltv.com
Pages on my phone are loading normally within a second or two. Unfortunately I'm having to write this on my phone because Mozilla Help won't let me log in because of 'unexpected error' which I think is it timing out. I've done a full Malwarebytes scan and a full Bullguard scan with no hits, full adwcleaner with nothing, I've reset Firefox, deleted the cache and cookies and have Tracking set to Strict and still no joy.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong and what I can do to fix it?
Discrepancy or error in Firefox documentation regarding mixed content

While trying to make a purchase, I noticed that Firefox flagged the web page with insecure mixed content. However, the browser info contradicts the official documentation.
The browser states, "Information you submit could be viewed by others (like passwords, messages, credit cards, etc.). Your connection is not private and information you share with the site could be viewed by others."
Yet according to the documentation, the orange triangle icon indicates passive mixed content. It states, "Attackers may be able to manipulate parts of the page like displaying misleading or inappropriate content, but they should not be able to steal your personal data from the site."
This seems like a contradiction. The browser is telling us that our information could be compromised, while the documentation states that attackers should not be able to access personal data.
Can you please clarify which one is correct? Also, if the browser is misleading, it should be corrected in a future update. If the problem is with the documentation, it should be updated.
BTW, I noticed that the website had Google Analytics objects embedded. Could that be the source of the insecure HTTP content?
Can websites with passive mixed media content be trusted with sensitive data?
