I want to delete/remove subject folder from my Windows 11 desktop. I did not create this folder; it suddenly appeared after I reinstalled the Firefox browser. These are the steps I am using in the deletion process: I right click on the folder and click on the delete icon. At the top of the window it says "Folder Access Denied." (Image 1) Below that it says, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." If I click on the "Continue" button, then the error message changes to "You require permission from OWNER/(me) ... to make changes to this folder." (Image 3) The permissions for this folder listed in the "Security" tab lists three groups: 1. "SYSTEM," 2. "F... S... (...@ Outlook.com)" and 3. "Administrators (Owners/Administrators)." All the foregoing have full control and modify control for this folder. The "More details" seen in Images 1 and 3 is grayed out so I cannot get any additional information. How can I delete this unnecessary and data hogging folder? Thank you all very much in advance to all that chose to respond.

Good morning,

Mozilla has installed a kelkoo web app as a shortcut in windows start menu without my permission. I don't see any Kelkoo app installed in windows "Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features" or in "Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features". So, it appears to be just a shortcut. Can i delete it?

I am using Windows 10, version 21H2 and my Mozilla version is the 144.0.2 (64-bit).

Kind regards.

Your not on my apps default list. I was told to uninstall Firefox, and reboot and re-install, I had premium adblock, now I don't, and Firefox still on the default browser list? Whatup? How can You help Me?

I seem to have installed the YouTube webapp on Firefox when I clicked 'add tab to taskbar' that's new in 143. It shows up as recently added program on Windows. When I go to find the origin it leads to Firefox.exe. I can't find a way to uninstall through the browser or on Windows. Does anyone know how?

WHY is Firefox.exe file FORCED onto my desktop???

I do NOT want it there and if I move it, Firefox will not work.

It's bad enough to be inundated with spyware AI being forced upon us everywhere but for Mozilla to decide to FORCE FIREFOX ONTO MY DESKTOP WITHOUT MY PERMISSION is insulting and an invasion of my laptop.

I do NOT NEED MOZILLA to make decisions about my "ease of use."

I AM NOT HAPPY. I feel that I CANNOT TRUST FIREFOX AND MOZILLA like I used to be able to.

Please remove this aggression and restore the ability to CHOOSE WHERE AND HOW I LAUNCH FIREFOX.

Thank you.

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 11 and installed Firefox onto drive C: of the 1 TB SSD. I then decided to partition the SSD into three drives and put Firefox on the E: drive. After I partitioned the SSD and uninstalled Firefox, I downloaded the Firefox installer from Mozilla, and ran it, but it somehow perceives that I had had Firefox previously installed and only gives me the option of re-installing Firefox at the original (C:) drive location. There is no longer an option in the installer to change the installation location. How can I get around this and re-install Firefox on my E: drive instead of my C: drive?

I would like to ask you for supplementing system requirements for Firefox on Linux machines presented on pages like this, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/133.0/system-requirements/ All the requirements shown for Firefox 133 on this page are satisfied in my Linux Fedora 20 with versions of the required libraries updated but Firefox cannot start GUI. As this concerns all Firefox versions newer than Firefox 95 that has the same requirements concerning Linux system and is functional in my system I have filed a bug report to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 Almost immediately I have seen the comment below my report, "Fedora 20 saw its end of life 114 months ago. Nobody cares about supporting Fedora 20 anymore." with status RESOLVED WONTFIX that means, "The problem described is a bug which will never be fixed." This means that some other requirements exist whence maybe a minimal number of Linux distribution should be noted as required for new Firefox versions to work. For "older" Linux users this would save them a lot of time.
