The installation on my win 11 laptop is doing some odd things (1 - recently lost all extra (unselected) windows on restart, even though set to restore all windows and tabs and 2- opening a new window creates an outdated duplicate of the window I already have open instead of just creating a new window with an empty tab??). So I thought I'd try refreshing it. Well, my "More troubleshooting" page does not have the "Refresh Firefox" button, only the "clear startup cache" appears along with option to run in troubleshooting mode. No Refresh option in teh same page in troubleshooting mode either. I am using the Microsoft Store MSIX installation. I am thinking about uninstalling that one and installing from a Mozilla download instead??

What would be the best way to clean up my installation state since the refresh is not available?

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

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.

I'm running Windows 10 on my (oldish) laptop.

I have been running Firefox on this PC (and others) for over a decade.

I would like to install Firefox on my (Samsung) Android mobile phone.

Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome.

I have a Samsung Galaxy-Book Go (2016), still fine and simple (for my sake) with ARM64, as my current mobile MS WEB APP dev work flow, via PortableGit* ARM64 equiv, VS Code ARM 64 equiv and I still seem to have a lot of unexpected 'Tool freeze ups/reload' situations. So, why if the ARM64 environment is intact, is there so many Tool freeze session blocking reset periods? And what is the obvious solution? (ARM 64 tool, app option, MS profile implemented and log functional)*

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?

Would like to test nightly builds of Firefox - how best to get started?

I am a user of Ubuntu and interested in testing the Firefox Nightly via snapstore.

Any pointers helpful.

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.
