Firefox Community Forum

I reinstalled it many times. I also force-quit the process in Task Manager. Basically, I did everything Google told me to do. But everything was the same. It says: Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, the running Firefox process must be terminated. please help

Nachdem ich Mozilla VPN heruntergeladen und installiert hatte, stürzte mein Firefox Browser regelmäßig beim Start ab, so das ich Mozilla VPN wieder deinstallieren musste um überhaupt wieder in Firefox zu gelangen ?????

After the latest version was updated, Version 149.00.7, on my laptop, on 27 March 2026, the browser closed midway while I was working, and now I can no longer access Firefox.

When I click on the Icon to access I keep getting the following error message as per the attachment:

I have uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it THREE TIMES already', but I still get the same error as before, as per the screen print provided.

I have even tried to install Firefox with custom settings, but then in order to proceed with the installation the ONLY button to proceed was the "UPGRADE" option.

I am at my wits end because this is totally unacceptable and the updated version obviously DOES NOT WORK!!!

Your urgent attention and prompt action in sorting this out will be appreciated, thanks.

Cannot open my Firefox browser. The icon displays in my startup tray but only shows a small icon temporarily when I click on it; the browser does not open, Nothing I do will change that,

i downloaded the installer on windows 11 and it would not go up. it just stayed at 0%. and i wet t the fallback download and that worked but the download downloaded Firefox but yet it opened for 2 seconds and closed. and refused to open from that point! what do I do?
