Thanks James Webb

What the title says. At some point Firefox wanted to update to a newer version, it asked me if I wanted to refresh it, I said yes, nothing much happened besides I got a brand new folder I can't remove from my desktop. It asks for admin rights, I have admin rights, it's a local account, I am the only user, I tried the command prompt solution and it didn't help. Is there any solution to this at all that doesn't involve me getting into the bios?

I want to confirm that Mozilla Firefox is my default browser. I want it to appear when I start up my computer and have it appear on my screen when I'm at rest. But first, I need to set the page up again.

(When I hit "browse" below, Firefox does not appear. My documents file opens up, wanting to save something to a file or folder.)

If needed, my email is [edited email from community support forum].

Thanks.

1/19/26 I have used Firefox for years and now it looks like Microsoft Bing has taken over and I cannot get Firefox back. It installs to a certain point and stops. Can you help me? email: [edited email from community support forum]

MacBook Pro M4, OS v 26.0.1 Firefox runs fine as administrator. There is an issue with standard users. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox multiple times from the Firefox webpage. When I try to run Firefox as a standard user a screen pops up. Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool - enter admin name and password. After I enter the user name and password the pop up screen disappears. If I click on the Firefox icon the same pop up screen appears again. I can select cancel, however, when I go to the Firefox icon it is bouncing up and down for several minutes. If I click on the Firefox icon again after it stops bouncing the process repeats itself.

One last thing Firefox was running fine until the latest update on 11/02/2025.

How can I resolve this issue?

i AM SHOWING 2 FIREFOX ICONS ON MY TASK BAR --THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY ! I checked the apps and it shows 1 for firefox which is X64EN-US 322 MB--I did not uninstall,so what can I do to solve this ?

I am trying to clear some out dated stuff off my computer to make some room on my dreive, and have discovered several older versions of Firefox, saved in a file, Can I uninstall them or delete them - I am worried that this might affect my newer version.

Win 11 stopped working on my Lenoovo Yoga due to bitlocker key requirement that does not exist I'm in the process of installing Ubuntu during the installation something went wrong "system program problem detected" which stopped the installation

I recently updated to v130. I'm having the same problem that so many others have, "Firefox already running, close Firefox". After updating to v130 I had to go to Task Manager and delete 19 Firefox running. It's only been a few days ago and I checked Task Manager today and deleted another 13. After updating to v130 many of my add-ons are showing up in the Menu Bar. I have used Add-ons Manager to drag and drop, but it doesn't work. I have specific bookmarks that should be in the "Bookmarks" section" but they are also showing up in the Menu Bar. I had to re-select my screen choice because it had disappeared. I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and in the past I was able to choose a separate search bar, but that too has disappeared and I cannot seem to fix it in settings. So many problems after updates, but this one seems very bad. I use Windows 10 on my desktop PC

Please Help, Rhonda
