After the last update, Firefox won't open. Instead, I get this message:

"Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

I have closed it within the error message but the error message comes back each time I try to open Firefox.

Please help, Deb

Hi all,

Version 153 in general seems to be more buggy than previous.

  • The most affected bug now is opening links in new tabs will endlessly show the loading animation in the favicon tab area, and the page will be blank failing to load the content.
  • No choice but to restart Firefox in order for it to function again.
  • Also, every time relaunching Firefox gives the "Firefox is already running" message pop up.
  • This started happening after updating to version 153.

Firefox 153.0.1 (32-bit) Windows 10 - 22H2

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, I tried to open Firefox but it just didn't open. Nothing happens when I click on my desktop icon. Tried as administrator, nothing. Tried refreshing, nothing. Reinstalling, nothing. The closest I got was after reinstalling but I still can't open any website or setting inside of the browser. Tried flushing the dns and also nothing. Pretty much out of ideas so if anyone has some advice it would be great, I'm running a HP laptop with Windows 10. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
