Firefox Community Forum

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 11 and installed Firefox onto drive C: of the 1 TB SSD. I then decided to partition the SSD into three drives and put Firefox on the E: drive. After I partitioned the SSD and uninstalled Firefox, I downloaded the Firefox installer from Mozilla, and ran it, but it somehow perceives that I had had Firefox previously installed and only gives me the option of re-installing Firefox at the original (C:) drive location. There is no longer an option in the installer to change the installation location. How can I get around this and re-install Firefox on my E: drive instead of my C: drive?

WHY is Firefox.exe file FORCED onto my desktop???

I do NOT want it there and if I move it, Firefox will not work.

It's bad enough to be inundated with spyware AI being forced upon us everywhere but for Mozilla to decide to FORCE FIREFOX ONTO MY DESKTOP WITHOUT MY PERMISSION is insulting and an invasion of my laptop.

I do NOT NEED MOZILLA to make decisions about my "ease of use."

I AM NOT HAPPY. I feel that I CANNOT TRUST FIREFOX AND MOZILLA like I used to be able to.

Please remove this aggression and restore the ability to CHOOSE WHERE AND HOW I LAUNCH FIREFOX.

Thank you.

Your not on my apps default list. I was told to uninstall Firefox, and reboot and re-install, I had premium adblock, now I don't, and Firefox still on the default browser list? Whatup? How can You help Me?

Just so I can be sure.

Can you please confirm for me that I have now successfully completely the Firefox Browser installation as well as Mozilla and Mozilla Support.

Otherwise, I am never quite sure and likely to miss the final steps/requirements, etc. for example, hit the wrong button, misunderstood details, etc. I find the internet complicated and hence unclear with many aspects which can end up wasting half of my day (and yours) as I carefully read and note as best I can.

I hope you understand my message. Thanks Sandra

Good morning,

Mozilla has installed a kelkoo web app as a shortcut in windows start menu without my permission. I don't see any Kelkoo app installed in windows "Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features" or in "Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features". So, it appears to be just a shortcut. Can i delete it?

I am using Windows 10, version 21H2 and my Mozilla version is the 144.0.2 (64-bit).

Kind regards.

My MacBook went down and I'm trying to load it on my wife's Mac mini. It is asking for username and password. She only knows a password not a username.

I would like to install Firefox. Please advise.

The last time I installed a new version of Firefox, my desktop icons and some of my files were lost or corrupted.

Can you guarantee this will not happen again.

I want to delete/remove subject folder from my Windows 11 desktop. I did not create this folder; it suddenly appeared after I reinstalled the Firefox browser. These are the steps I am using in the deletion process: I right click on the folder and click on the delete icon. At the top of the window it says "Folder Access Denied." (Image 1) Below that it says, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." If I click on the "Continue" button, then the error message changes to "You require permission from OWNER/(me) ... to make changes to this folder." (Image 3) The permissions for this folder listed in the "Security" tab lists three groups: 1. "SYSTEM," 2. "F... S... (...@ Outlook.com)" and 3. "Administrators (Owners/Administrators)." All the foregoing have full control and modify control for this folder. The "More details" seen in Images 1 and 3 is grayed out so I cannot get any additional information. How can I delete this unnecessary and data hogging folder? Thank you all very much in advance to all that chose to respond.
