Several users within our company are unable to use Firefox after the last update to version 68. Firefox will only open if "Run as Administrator" is selected. No error comes up. When clicking on it, nothing happens.

Below is what I have tried so far but have had no luck: 1. Uninstalling/reinstalling 2. Tried installing the ESR version. 3. Refreshed Firefox 4. Created a new profile.

None of the above solutions have worked. With that being said, each employee's laptop has 2 user accounts. There is an administrator account and the actual user account. The user's account does not have admin rights. Users that do have admin rights such as the IT staff, Firefox is working fine with version 68 (so far).

The users affected have either Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

hello, can you take a look in the system's eventlog if any related entries are showing up there once you attempt to start firefox?

I looked at the event log for one of the users (I'm assuming it will be the same for each person with this issue).

Below is the info that was returned. I also attached a screenshot of the application error.

thank you. so it appears that your enterprise security software is attempting to hook into firefox and crashing it this way. we're tracking this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1553776 and the next firefox update (due to happen in the next couple of days) should contain a mitigation against this...
