Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing a persistent issue where my Firefox (Windows 10) randomly crashes or closes. I recently noticed that this always happens when a JSON file appears in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution
The strange thing is that this file shouldn't even be there, as this is my personal computer and it is not managed by any organization.
I have already tried deleting or renaming the file, but after a seemingly random period, it gets recreated automatically.
Here’s what I have tried so far, without success:
- Deleting/renaming the file
- Checking the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox (but the "Mozilla" folder does not exist there)
- I have never used any third-party antivirus software (only Windows Defender)
Does anyone have an idea where this file might be coming from or how I can prevent it from being recreated?
I’m not very tech-savvy, so I would greatly appreciate simple explanations or step-by-step instructions.
Thanks in advance for any help!
