Here is what the message says: "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. Enter your password to allow this" I tried to install but Firefox won't open. Firefox icon just bounces around, I have to force quit to stop it. I DO NOT WANT THIS TOOL BUT I WANT TO USE FIREFOX. By the way this is sent from my other user, as the problem is on my admin. user and I can't open Firefox to do anything!

Today Firefox on my laptop will not open. There is a message (?from Google?) saying it is because cookies are switched off. I have not knowingly made any changes to cookie settings or installed any new features. A new Windows update installed recently (I am on Windows 11) and also a new version of Edge (although I never use Edge myself). The Google guidanc eon how to fix the situation only deals with Chrome. So how, please, can I get Firefox working again?

I just installed Fedora KDE Plasma, and have been trying to launch Firefox, but it keeps completely freezing.

I have tried installing through snap, flatpak and fedoras database, most recently I installed from the tar.xz on the website, and tried launching in safe mode. All of these result in the same behavior.
