Firefox 社群討論區

I'm on Win10. This morning I see that MSLOP has updated my desktop PC overnight. FF was open before the update and attempted to restart but couldn't restore pages. I told it to start a new session and the PC blue screened. This has happened before so after the PC restarted I shut it down. It blue screened a few times while also trying to restart FF. I shut it down with the power button. FF will not start with troubleshooting (shift while double clicking on FF icon). It crashes and I get the crash window. Latest crash detail is below. What next? Any help is much appreciated.

UPDATE: I went to windows settings, apps, and clicked on uninstall for FF. Immediately a message box, "Would you like to refresh instead?" popped up. Sure, why not? It thought for a while and updated. I logged in again and I am back to a functioning 147.0.3. I logged into my bitwarden extension and ublock origin is still there. No clue what happened earlier.

i do use ad blockers "experiencing problems find out why "well,of course lol. I know this ,but when i shut down the browser & re launch the browser it won't initiate/execute. not matter what I do. I then run the DISM script and she (firefox) fires back up again. Any insight or work around to fix this this nagging problem would be greatly appreciated. Yeah, windows 11, 32 gig of ram, 60 mps down 75 up.

I have an iMac M4 running Tahoe 26.2, which has an admin account and three user accounts. Last time I tried to open Firefox in one of the user accounts, it asked for an admin password to install a helper, presumably to update. Rather than responding, I switched to the admin account and updated Firefox manually, (from the "about" option). If I now try to open Firefox back on the user account, I still get that request, but even after I enter the admin credentials, Firefox won't open. It does however open on the admin account and the other two user accounts, not getting the "helper" window at all. I have reinstalled Firefox (twice), and removed the profile form the troublesome user account, but the problem recurs. Where is the problem and how do I fix it?

I tried starting Firefox in trouble-shoot mode, but nothing changed.

When I try starting Firefox from the Terminal with the -P option, I get the following message

miki@Mikeliss-iMac MacOS % ./firefox -P 2026-02-11 18:14:06.242 Firefox GPU Helper[94978:60675173] Failure on line 688 in function id scheduleApplicationNotification(LSNotificationCode, NSWorkspaceNotificationCenter *): noErr == _LSModifyNotification(notificationID, 1, &code, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL) 2026-02-11 18:14:06.281 Firefox GPU Helper[94978:60675275] Connection Invalid error for service com.apple.hiservices-xpcservice. 2026-02-11 18:14:06.281 Firefox GPU Helper[94978:60675173] Error received in message reply handler: Connection invalid UNSUPPORTED (log once): POSSIBLE ISSUE: unit 1 GLD_TEXTURE_INDEX_2D is unloadable and bound to sampler type (Float) - using zero texture because texture unloadable

When I try to exit the fire fox browser I delete all cookies then select exit and close it out. However when start my computer the next time I get a message that fire fox is already running and if I hit the cancel button it freezes the screen and I have no options to move on. So how should you do a normal shutdown off the browser?

Restored FF to Imac. Attemped to open but get message “a copy of FF is already open to cannot open this one” Spent 6 hours with Apple Support to examine every file and delete anything related to FF or Mozilla except for the VPN program. This did not solve problem. Apple said could do no more and suggeted mozzilla support. How to get rid of the notice and enable opening of FF. on 2024 Imac M4 chip.

Hi

I have tried to launch Firefox a number of times today and every time it has frozen and does not respond. When trying to select the option of opening the software in Troubleshoot mode, once again the software freezes and I am unable to open the software in Troubleshoot mode . I have tried shutting and re-opening both the software and my laptop but this does not resolve the issue. Can you please either resolve the issue of the software freezing or tell me how I can resolve the issue.

When opening Firefox version 147 it asked if I wanted to install updates and after answering affirmative, then it gave "Error: Platform version '147.03' is not compatible with minversion >=147.02 maxversion <=147.02. Maybe try to reinstall Firefox?" The browser will not open. What is the workaround??

In my org - ever since the release of Firefox 146 - each time an update is rolled out on a WIndows 11 endpoint - Firefox is no longer able to launch.

This is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the client. We've had no issues with the ESR release in my testing.

What changed? Anyone else experiencing this?

I had our security team take a look at the antivirus - they've confirmed we aren't blocking Firefox and they did not see any block reports.

No relevant policy changes have gone through around the time of the incident. Initially I suspected users were installing Firefox ESR from the Company Portal alongside the standard release - but confirmed this is not the case. Also ruled out browser extensions - error persisted across a config without any extensions.

Please let me know if there is troubleshooting info I can collect. I included info from my own browser, but I reinstalled on the 27th and it has been working since. However, it has broke specifically on the days new releases have come out.

Thank you for any suggestions!

I have been battling with Firefox for a bit now with this 'helper tool' download. Every single update it requests access, which is has, and then won't actually open Firefox. I have to uninstall and reinstall each time to get some level of functionality back.

Checking online this isn't a problem isolated to my own computer, but aside from getting the pro version, there were no great solutions.

Can this issue please be fixed?

Hi,

I was super pumped about profiles but it seems it has gone terribly wrong for me.

I created a two profiles on one computer and would like to reuse them on another. Apparently this is impossible, which is really too bad, please change that! Why would I want to redo everything on every computer that I work with? And it deleted bookmarks on other computers synched to my account, why?

And I deleted every profile on one of my computers, in the hopes to "start fresh" since I had lost all my work, and now Firefox refuses to open. It indicates "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible".

So now I need to re-install the whole app. Just... Why?

Thanks!

For a few weeks now, I've noticed that Firefox will not open properly and gets hung with a rotating circle. I have tried all of the conventional fixes including installing a new version but it doesn't seem to work. In the meantime, I will use Safari and occasionally, up to an hour later, it will open and operate normally...until I restart my Mac at which point the whole process starts all over again. But usually, I just get the finder message "Firefox not responding"

Please advise.

I can't open FIrefox. When I try to open it I get the following error message. "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window." I opened Task Manager and could not find any instance of Firefox or Mozilla running. I uninstalled Firefox and deleted all the files and folders having to do with Mozilla and Firefox. Then I reinstalled Firefox. I continue to get the same error message. I am running Windows 11 64bit on a Dell laptop. Any suggestions? Ray

Through extensive troubleshooting, I am unable to get firefox to open at all.

I've done a full uninstall, cleaned all user directories, program files / x86, program data, appdata roaming and local, etc. I used the Microsoft uninstaller and even Revo Uninstaller to remove everything related to Firefox, did a restart and reinstall of the latest one and it still won't launch.

Firefox was previously working until a reboot occurred and now it won't launch.

Firefox 32 bit seems to work when installed, and running Firefox as an admin previously worked but no it no longer does.

I looked at the following articles: - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-wont-start-find-solutions - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles#w_start-the-profile-manager-when-firefox-is-closed

There's no malware on this machine (business EDR on it, even disabled it as a test and it still didn't open).

I was able to launch the profile manager but now I am unable to as the processes launch in task manager and then within 5 seconds they close.

Firefox is not running in the background for any user (I'm the only one logged in after a reboot as well)

I'm unable to open in troubleshoot mode either. Tried run as and admin cmd "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode

Ran SFC / scannow / DISM restore health commands as well and both came back fine / no integrity violations

This problem just started with the latest version of Firefox that opens with two profiles. It worked for a short time and then failed. Firefox will not open if I choose the default profile. I can open Firefox if I choose Profile #2, but it has none of the history of the default profile. I lose all of my extensions, history, bookmarks - everything.

How can I get back to where I was yesterday? (Note: I'm just a user, not a computer geek, and don't understand the buzzwords or technospeak. I can follow clear instructions like copy, delete, rename, etc.)

I'm using an HP laptop with Windows 11.

New laptop. Installed Firefox. Set up 2 of the "new" type profiles. Typical extensions (Bitwarden, Bit.ly, Firefox Color). Not too long after, Firefox will no longer launch and the only remediation I've found is to do a clean uninstall/reinstall including deleting registry keys. I've now done this three times now. Environment information

• i7 Core Ultra/32GB RAM
• SentinelOne - Corporate Environment. Installs Firefox Extension. There are no signs in the S1 portal or client that it is blocking firefox.
• nVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Video Card. Updated to current driver 582.16
• Threatlocker - Computer is new and has been in "Learning Mode" so it isn't an issue
• Tailscale runs on this machine, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is running.

Nothing in the %APPDATA% crash reports folder for firefox. Crash dumps for firefox are in %LOCALAPPDATA%/CrashDumps. One read by AppCrashView is attached. It is a 0xc0000005 Access violation in StackHash_2264.

This is a problem where renaming the firefox.exe to firefox1.exe will get it to run but it seems to lose track of profiles.

Firefox is my favorite browser and I'd like to resolve this, but I really can't afford spending much more time on it or continually clean reinstalling and rebuilding profies. I've seen other similar posts, but no clear resolution.
