After updating Firefox yesterday and restarting my Win7 I was unable to open my Firefox. The error message was "Can't open this item. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted." I was given the choice to remove it or not. When I chose not, the event and error message reiterated; so I chose to remove. Thereafter I've been unable to bring up or download Firefox, with the following error message with each try:

I had a power outage in my neighborhood, and to get my computer running I had to access a restore point. Now, the links that start Firefox don't work, and I can't find "firefox.exe" on my computer. I can find "Mozilla Firefox" directories in both c:\Program Files and c:\Program Files (x86), but there doesn't seem to be any executable file in them.
A little history is that I used FF version 56.2 for a very long time before I upgraded to the most recent version, but I am pretty sure I have created restore points since I upgraded.
If Firefox is hiding somewhere on my computer, I would rather not reinstall it because I have customized it. It seems to me that doing a restore should not have deleted any programs on my computer.
I use Windows 10.
Thank you.

Problem = "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error. Firefox does not open a browser window. I uninstalled firefox, deleted the necessary files in the registry and deleted / backed-up all my profiles.
Still doesn't open. I cannot terminate the firefox.exe in the taskmanager. I also tried to open firefox in safe mode.
my profile.ini looks like this after the reinstall :
[Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/br44he6u.default-release Locked=1
[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/saqp6yc1.default Default=1

My installs.ini :

Registry files deleted before reinstall :

I have downloaded and installed the same applications again from the website but I think the version is not compatible and therefore not working. Please advise the current version of the add ons for firefox to work with them. thank you very much.

Ok, so before all this started to happen, Firefox had some issue with updating, some file was unable to be opened so I just straight up reinstalled Firefox. But now for some reason Firefox keeps deleting all of my current data as if it was reinstalling over and over, apparently every time I turn on my computer. This includes outright deleting my add-ons, not disabling them.
I remember that I asked to bring all my old Firefox data at the initial reinstall, maybe that has something to do with it?
A folder called "Old Firefox Data" appears however and it seems that by moving all the files in this container into /browser I can get all the data back, but I don't understand why this is happening in the first place or how to stop this strange automatic reinstalling.
I'm not really sure what files I can send to help but if anyone wants some logs or whatever tell me where they are and I'll get them.
Thanks.

I need help finding a compatible browser version that has the proper plugin that will allow me to view my ClareControls camera via Mozilla. According to the link below from Clare Controls, they said in order to get the proper plug in, you would need to download a browser that has NPAPI plugin. Can anyone help with this?

This has been a MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME for me since at least the time Quantum was released.
My goal during an update is to be able to continue using the release that is to be replaced until I am satisfied that the new release with its new profile includes as many of the preferences, add-ons, passwords, and other settings that can be carried forward from the previous one as possible (e.g., all that do not cause major conflicts or other serious problems not easily resolved).
The majority of the add-ons I use are related to maintaining the privacy, anonymity, security, and integrity of the browser as well as the data which it handles or manages. Quite a few are redundant so I usually have several installed but disabled at any given time.
From my perspective It makes little sense to enable Firefox to send anything to Mozilla (e.g., allow Firefox to phone home) before I am reasonably sure the new installation of Firefox is running well, with the same or a similar set of security and privacy add-ons in place, especially when I was not made very aware that enabling this would make restoring the add-ons I cherish easier in some way.
Storage is dirt cheap these days. Even on this laptop, I can add another 2TB of fast SSD storage via an external port, then move at least a 1TB of stuff off the 1TB internal SSDs -- in other words, I like the idea of having the option of making a complete backup of the entire existing Firefox Beta release I have been using with all of its pointers to my data on this system, other systems, in the cloud, etc. before letting the installer create the new installation for the upgraded Beta Release.
I gather a system reboot (or at least a browser restart would be in order at this point. After that, it would be wonderful if I was presented the option of migrating all of my old preferences, other settings, and passwords to new profile of the new installation. I doubt many of the add-ons I use are so obscure that they would not get tested by at least a few people doing QA for the upgrade so if any might pose problems, I could be told they could not be migrated with the rest that can be carried forward in a routine manner. (Specific instructions as to how to handle the exceptions would be nice. Some hints about why the particular add-on does not play well with the upgrade would give users a place to start investigating.)
What bugs me the most is that I am dead in the water until the add-ons that I use to block a shit-ton of tracking, fingerprinting, and other kinds of cookies, as well as those used by outright malware disservices found on some sites are in place to make the Web a much safer place for me and the things I use it for.
I completely understand why the upgrades to the first releases of Firefox Quantum required most users to re-install most addons and set most of their preferences, but after a major release upgrade or three to Quantum, things should be back to a lot more automated routine that preserves the functionality the user had in the previous release as much as is realistically feasible when the new release is installed in its own separate place with its own profiles, thus giving the user the fall back option of continuing to use the old release until the new one is tweaked enough to be workable for the user.
Remember: if you do not want to shed users because they get tired of having to restore things from scratch and perhaps losing a lot of important data or functionality along the way, you have to give them as clear and reliable means as possible of getting from where they where (presumably) somewhat satisfied with the old release to as good or better level of satisfaction with the new release, without making them jump through a lot of difficult hoops or perform what seem to be several arcane rituals.
In short, the default process should be to carry forward as many add-ons and user preferences as possible during an upgrade (given the user the option to start from scratch if he likes clean installs or happens to be enough of a masochistic geek to want to go through setting up two dozen add-ons and many specific settings). On occasion, I will put of with the painful process of cleaning the junk out of an old browser or system configuration, but usually I try to do that as part of routine housekeeping and like it when what should be a simple system or browser upgrade does not end up seeming like going through a full tax audit.

On my PC, whenever I click on any links in any external program, all links open in Chrome. Even though, I've checked that FF is my default program. Also checked that chrome is NOT my default program. Have also tried making chrome default and then back to Firefox as default. Have also tried setting FF as default in Windows>> Default Programs. But nothing is working. I've even tried making IE as default from Control Panel, yet Chrome opens. I've noted 1 thing that Chrome is not there in Control Panels> Programs & Features list.

Windows 10 system I was changing my default browser from Chrome to Firefox. The Settings>Apps>Default Apps>Brower panel was showing two Firefox Icons. I got different behavior depending on which I selected (e.g. 1 with bookmarks/plugins and 1 without bookmarks/plugs). There was only one Mozilla Firefox and one Mozilla Maintenance Server in Control Panel>Programs and Features.
I tried uninstalling the two Mozilla programs and now:
No Mozilla programs in Control Panel>Programs and Features. One Firefox icon in Settings>Apps>Defaults Apps>Browser. My firefox icons on desktop are still there and still work. C: Program Files(x86)/Mozilla Firefox is still there.
FYI, I had installed a BitDefender Anti-Tracking and Foxtana extensions.
What should I do now. Still thinking want to uninstall and then reinstall.
