Firefox asks for admin credentials yet won't open after update, yet works fine for other users on the same machine.

I have an iMac M4 running Tahoe 26.2, which has an admin account and three user accounts. Last time I tried to open Firefox in one of the user accounts, it asked for an admin password to install a helper, presumably to update. Rather than responding, I switched to the admin account and updated Firefox manually, (from the "about" option). If I now try to open Firefox back on the user account, I still get that request, but even after I enter the admin credentials, Firefox won't open. It does however open on the admin account and the other two user accounts, not getting the "helper" window at all. I have reinstalled Firefox (twice), and removed the profile form the troublesome user account, but the problem recurs. Where is the problem and how do I fix it?

I tried starting Firefox in trouble-shoot mode, but nothing changed.

When I try starting Firefox from the Terminal with the -P option, I get the following message
