We have now multiple occurenses now. I know that when i reboot the computer the problem is solved. But this problem re appears randomly. My filrefox install path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox"

My own findings are these: A) When i start Firefox from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", it will not work. it shown kind of empty page, when i try to open new tab or try go to settings, the firefox.exe will get stuck. Processor usage is 50%(dual core cpu).


B) When i duplicate "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox – kopio" then the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox – kopio\firefox.exe" will work. All is fine.


C) Also if i copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google – kopio" the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google – kopio\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" will work.


D) After starting firefox or chrome from "*kopio*" folder and shutting those down. The original apps in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" won't work.

E) If i rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" example to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox_ddd.exe", the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox_ddd.exe" will work.

F) After i rename it back to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" it will not work. But if i rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" example to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox_ddd.exe" and copy some 3rd app to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

Then i start the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", the 3rd app works fine. Then i remove the 3rd app "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox_ddd.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and start then "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", it will work.


G) Apparently this is just enought: Copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google – kopio" rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_ddd.exe" Copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google – kopio\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" And Chrome "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" works. The "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_ddd.exe" won't work.
