Each time Firefox is updated I keep getting Firefox Not Responding, and this happens EACH time there is an update. Refresh does not help. New tabs open up very slowly AFTER getting Not Responding. Changed performance settings with no change. I do not have any add-on. This is truly very disruptive. If I could figure out how to import all of my saved web pages I would stop using Firefox and use Edge. As of today I HAVE NOT received any answers on how to correct this problem from Mozilla

I like Firefox but sad to say that I have increasinlt wasted much time lately with its crashy ways and I made the mistake of using Refresh today.
Now get a message when I try open the app saying "copy of firefox is already open" which it is not true and it is not showing as running on the system.
I have tried reinstalling and it makes no difference.
I dont have an IT engineering degree but how do I fix this before I just give up and walk away? Thanks.
Why can't I get Firefox to update on my Mac? I keep getting sent to the same useless page in this support section - I need help that works!

I have followed the instructions in the support section very carefully and still cannot get Firefox to update. I did see the note that the person who is the admin or the person who installed Firefox is the only person who can update it. That would be me and me alone, and I've exhaustively checked my Mac's settings and preferences and everything else I can think of. I'm new to Mac so I may well have missed something important during set-up...........but I can't figure out or find what that may be. Whenever I follow the link on the support page that says I can update, all it does is download the updated version of Firefox, not an update. I don't want to start all over and lose all of my bookmarks and developer tools just because something isn't working. I realize it is probably something rather simple, but I just seem to be missing it and I've passed the frustration point now. :) Thanks for any assistance in getting this straightened out!

Hello, My Firefox was always crashing so when I tried to uninstall I would get an error message (don't have it now). My 15-year old went into CCLeaner and deleated all the registry files, programs and folders to do a new install. Now when I try to re-install using the latest download I get the following two errors:
WerFault.exe - Application Error: The application was unable to start correctly (0x000279). Click OK to close the application.
Firefox Installer.exe - Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (0x06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x000000076F4B832.
How do I fix this so I can go back to FF and off IE?
I never had a problem with Firefox and now keep getting the following message

I have to use Windows 10 (Home v:1703).
I'd like Firefox to be my default browser, but it's not listed in 'Choose an App'.
There's just Microsoft Edge listed, along with Internet Explorer, and an option to choose an app from the shop.
Microsoft Edge is also presumptuously shown as the default app to start with.
If Firefox isn't listed, how can I set it to be my default browser - or, isn't this
'allowed' in Windows 10 ?

First of all, I'm using Mac. And so, if my firefox is not responding or still lagging, I always force quit it right away. However last night it didn't work like that. My firefox was usually fine after I forced quit it and started it again, but yesterday it crashed from when it was starting.
I'm flustered and try to open it a few more times, but the result was still the same, crash and crash again. Firefox tried to give me options by using the safe mode. I thought it could work if I went with the safe mode, but unfortunately even in safe mode, my firefox still crashed.
And just like that I also don't have a choice to access the troubleshooting menu in firefox because it crashed before I could go there. That's why I'm here to request help.
This is the report ID I just submitted a few minutes before posting this. bp-7dbf5090-1315-48b5-af5f-fe7d20180523
If you need details of the report just ask me. I've already copied that from the crash reporter. Thank you!

Windows 7 Professional Firefox 64 bit stable, up to date
Its is running on a 10 year old slow computer, the add-on script is unresponsive because it is running on a slow computer.
I had a similar problem with "Warning: Unresponsive script" but was able to get rid of those annoying notices by setting dom.max_script_run_time to zero.
I do not want to stop the script, the add-on adds security. I just do not want to ever see one of these notices on that computer ever again. I have to deal with them dozens of times each day and only use the computer for a few hours. Each time it interrupts what I'm doing to take me to a different tab to slowly deal with the problem.
The problem isn't the add-on script being slow, its the computer being slow. And the fact that the warning gives me no way to disable it so I keep getting it time after time after time...
Thanks

Greetings. I'm opening this ticket because Firefox on my computer will always give me a Couldn't Load XPCOM message, and will not load any website. Even the settings won't open, or about:config, or anything at all.
I seem to have stumbled on some other questions who had the same issue, and the answer was that an update had failed and some files had been mixed up. In order to try to fix this, I have tried:
- Firefox Safe Mode - Refreshing Firefox - Reinstalling Firefox (In Windows 10's Safe Mode, and/or without my antivirus on) - Uninstalling Firefox and Reinstalling (Again, in Safe Mode and without any antivirus on) - Installing the developer edition of Firefox, which seems to be giving me the same problem - Rebooting my computer several times during these processes
I have backed up my profiles from %APPDATA%, just in case. What do I do in this situation?

Administrator on 64-bit Windows 7 Professional unable to open existing Firefox (45.0.1) or install 46.0.1 (with save or run) -- ALL ATTEMPTS produce this pop-up: "A required privilege is not held by the client."
Version 45.0.1 was working. As I usually do and have done for many versions of Firefox, I downloaded Firefox Setup Stub 46.0.1 with Save rather than Run. However, I could not run it from the download. Firefox was still working. Then I used the Update from inside Firefox (which I presume was the same download), and Firefox has not worked since. I cannot open it with the icon on my taskbar, by using the Start menu, or by clicking on firefox.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox.
I have spent HOURS searching and reading and trying possible solutions to other problems (not Firefox) where the users had that, or a similar, message. Nothing has worked.
The Securities tab of the Properties of the firefox.exe file shows three "Group or user names" -- SYSTEM, Administrators (with-my-name-here), and Users (with-my-name-again). SYSTEM and Administrators have all "Permissions for Users" allowed (except for "Special permissions" for which neither Allow nor Deny is ticked). Users has ticks to Allow only for "Read & execute" and "Read".
The Advanced Security Settings show me as Administrator as the Owner. I have "Full control" in Permissions (not inherited), and a second entry with me as Administrator also indicates "Full control" (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ for this entry). The SYSTEM entry also has "Full control" (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ . The Users (with-my-name) has a "Read & execute" Permission (inherited from C:\Program Files (x86)\ .
So, I have "Full control".
What does "A required privilege is not held by the client" mean?
Who is the client?
What is the "required privilege"?
And where does one get it?
For a few days I have been receiving pop-ups about updating to a newer version of Thunderbird. Normally I would do so without hesitation (as I have done in the past with Firefox). However, I am now afraid to attempt this in case the same thing happens with Thunderbird and I can't access my emails. At least I can use another browser (as I am obviously doing to post this).
Years ago I used Netscape Navigator (preferred) and Internet Explorer. The first time I used Firefox was at an Internet café on a holiday. I had to learn to use it because it was the only browser on the machines. When I got home, I downloaded Firefox and have been using it ever since. I loved the multiple tabs (which IE did not have at the time). I have IE and Chromodo on my machine, but I only use them for sites that don't work with Firefox (fewer and fewer as the years have gone by).
Can someone help me so that I can return to Firefox? Please?

All information is lost. Was away from my computer for an hour and came back to firefox being FRESHLY installed. (noone home or has access to this computer.) Its screen asked if I wanted to import bookmarks from another browser. I DONT USE ANY OTHER. This is the THIRD time this has happened! Its lost everything. AGAIN. I may have to stop using Firefox and go to chrome. This is ridiculous. No other crash on my computer, no other updates, no changes at all, except this. If this isnt fixed, for the last time, Im leaving Mozilla.

a tech cleaned up my computer and reloaded windows 10 and firefox but gone are my bookmarks accumulated over the years. I have the old memory drive and maybe I could take it back to him but I need instructions cause he does not seem to know how to do this. Or maybe I can try on my own. I have some bookmark data backed up but it's not up to date and not in a format that seems to open up...I also did not see any way to import back on that external drive file. I'd prefer instructions to recover from old disk drive.
Thanks

Hi all , I used ArmBian as OS on my Cubiebord 3. After installing php7 and nginx firefox crashes everytime during it opens. (same effect with safe-mode) I added the first crash report after I deleted the firefox profile. At the moment I write on an other windows based system.

We are currently having to role back to FireFox ESR 52.9 from the latest Quantum build of FireFox 60.3.0. Due to the fact that this version utilizes WebGl 2. Our older systems will not render one of the educational games we utilize in the our School District any longer due to the fact that Quantum uses WebGl 2 instead WebGl 1. We have tested and verified that ESR 52.9 renders the game properly.
I have been trying to disable the automatic update in utilizing the user.js file and the cfg file. The computers are apart of the domain. From what I have read only new user profiles will get the new user.js settings while all existing profiles will retain the old settings so we plan on reimaging these computers so all existing profiles will be wiped.
I have also seen users block the updates by changing the Host File which we will not do. Some sites state create a profile folder in the defaults folder other show place the user.js file in the pref folder. So I am lost at this point. I have followed this guide as well:
I have placed the 00_admin-prefs.js with the exact settings shown and have the mozilla.cfg file in the same folder as the js. both are in the defaults\pref
When trying to run FireFox I am am not getting:
Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your Administrator. (I am the Admin). My domain creds give me admin privileges on all computers.
I know this folder also holds the channel-pref.js so I am not sure if I can add what I need to that file.
If someone would please help me determine what is going on. Why wont firefox copy the either a user.js file or utilize the cfg file I created to each new profile that gets created when logging into the computer.

FireFox ver 64 works flawlessly, but v 65 will not run on my machine no matter what I have tried!
Symptoms with v65:
Intermittently does not start, hit icon again then loads but doesn't connect. Very slow when it loads. firefox.exe does not unload from memory, has to be shut in task manager
What I have tried so far;
FireFox refresh. unstall / reinstall uninstall uBlock Origin sfc /scannowall uninstall Avast uninstall VPN Delete all firefox files on system disk + delete all registry entries then reinstall. Install from full version .exe Removed VPN (Private Internet Access) Updated Windows and any and all drivers.
What am I missing ?
