Here is what the message says: "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. Enter your password to allow this" I tried to install but Firefox won't open. Firefox icon just bounces around, I have to force quit to stop it. I DO NOT WANT THIS TOOL BUT I WANT TO USE FIREFOX. By the way this is sent from my other user, as the problem is on my admin. user and I can't open Firefox to do anything!

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading (see the browser console for more information).

where is the browser console? how do i fix it never had an issue with until the last two days?

Whenever I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it brings up a system error that says, "The code execution cannot proceed because C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmls64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I've tried completely deleting Firefox and reinstalling and it opens a new tab, but when I close it i get the same error message.

I am still using Win 7 but converting to Win 11. The most recent "patch Tuesday" update from MS killed Office 2016. Since then Fire Fox will occasionally pop up the "Couldn't load XPCOM." (no file extension) warning. It may do this when opened but not always. Can also occur in the midst of a session.

Program seems to be working correctly but some of my pinned locations disappeared when this started. New locations are retained between sessions. Is there a problem with continued operation with this warning? Is there something that I can do to repair it.

Firefox won't open. System says it can't find VCRUNTIME140.DLL. There are SEVERAL copies on the drive. I believe I Refreshed and Reinstalled? And still cannot run.

This is the first time Firefox has failed in years. There are no instructions for this specific problem. FWIW I just installed AURA seemingly without problems.

Firefox was working perfectly up until this morning and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a new update today. But now when I open the app a new window will briefly pop up for a fraction of a second and then disappear. Unfortunately this prevents me from accessing troubleshoot mode or crash reports so i can't provide much information on specifics.

I followed the steps here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-keeps-crashing-startup and they haven't worked so far. I tried a clean install and restarting my computer multiple times, but no dice. There also don't seem to be any compatibility issues with the most recent version in the release notes.

Ive uninstalled it multiple times, done just about everything suggested online, and even got it working for a bit off the Microsoft store. But for some reason, my desktop Firefox will not open at all.

I am having Firefox crash on startup much like Firefox Desktop crashing on startup, initially in version 140, but I have downgraded to version 139 in my troubleshooting and I'm getting the same symptom.

It is frustrating that this does not seem to leave any records in the Windows event log or the Firefox crash reports, and that the fact that there's a known issue of this severity is rather hard to find.

Firefox has begun to instantly crash after opening. This occurs constantly, even though fresh installs, even if I run as administrator. It is the only application doing this, which is beyond weird. It seems to have begun happening after I opened a notepad file. Which seems ridiculous to me but that's when it initially crashed. If more information is required, please let me know, but I cannot even access say, crash logs.

Has support for X11 been removed?

PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END So, a few months ago I reinstalled Windows on my laptop because I had some bugs. After the OOBE was completed, I set it up and installed Chrome. However, when I tried to log in, the app suddenly force closed and could no longer be opened. So, I switched to Firefox. Everything was running fine. But now (06/26/2025), while I was using Firefox, it suddenly force closed (this is the first time it has force closed on me). I clicked twice on the desktop but it also didn't work, I'm confused about what to do, I absolutely don't want to use Microsoft Edge. When I tried to spam the Firefox icon on the taskbar while opening the task manager, crashhelper.exe suddenly appeared many times, I tried to delete those exe files but it had no effect, so I restored them back to their directory. I'm really confused whether my laptop is broken or if there's a bug in the Windows software? So that's it and thank you.

Hi, The browser suddenly closed, and I can't open it since then. I searched for what to do but couldn't find anything helpful. I tried reinstalling Firefox, but it still doesn't work. I don't know it is a helpful information, but the other browsers (like Chrome and Opera) also don't open.

I downloaded firefox and it worked for about a month. Now when I try to launch it, the screen flashes momentarily as though it were about to pop up, but then it does not actually open a browser window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox more than once, I've tried a simple restart of the computer, and tried multiple different update methods (updated windows). Any suggestions?

Firefox is my default browser. I few days ago, it failed to open, and continues to do so. When I click on the icon, I get the blue spinning circle for a few seconds, then nothing. I have tried to refresh and reinstall, but nothing worked.

Firefox keeps crashing, or better doesnt even open. In Task Maneger on my Windows 11 System I didnt even see the task preformed. So I tried to uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox, still the same Problem. I tried to refresh Firefox but it was no use. Sometimes for a brief moment of time a small window opens with the Firefox logo, for two seconds I can read the word Firefox Troubleshoot but it closes instantly. I need Firefox as my Browser and would like to have it back in use as soon as possible. Thank you for your help LH
