ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

Firefox continually refuses to open, and I have worked all the suggested solutions once again. I used it for a few hours this morning, switched briefly to Chrome. Went to go back into Firefox, and it wouldn't open again. Did all the work arounds....uninstall, reinstall, even system reset to the previous day. Still won't open. I am so disappointed at having it behave so unpredictably. I sometimes sense it is related to updates....almost afraid to reboot my computer sometimes because it will not open afterwards. My recent install attempt appears among the public users, which is not the case as mine is a private PC. The Mozilla Program itself, however loaded to the 86 bit program files. Not at all sure to proceed at this point.... getting forced over to Edge it feels like....

Found the culprit...... I use CCleaner to keep my computer running smoothly. Have for a number of years. A relatively new feature is their Performance Optimizer, which allows a user to put programs and apps to "sleep" so that they are not continually running until asked to "wake" when used. I checked and all of the suspects were in sleep mode.....unchecked Firefox and it loaded, updated and performs like a dream!! It did not wake as advertised. I don't used the option anymore, and checked everything to wake. Just a heads up on CCleaner. More complex doesn't always translate to helpful!

Does it work if you rename firefox.exe to something else?
