Clean Install Firefox 59.0.1 and problems.
Before clean Install.
--------------------------
I updated Firefox to 59.0.1. Pages were not loading fully. After I went through many posts in this forum and else where, I disabled hardware acceleration in options. But one suggested successive update may be problem. clean install may help. Hence I went for clean install.
After clean install:
--------------------------
1) It could not be made default browser. I tried all means
a)default app in settings does not show firefox.
b) Tried default programs editor as admn. Error appears. It could not make it default.
c) I tried make default button in firefox options. It takes to settings default app where list does not have firefox.
d)I tried the following command in admn command window.
C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966} -Microsoft.DefaultPrograms\pageDefaultProgram
It doe not have firefox or mozilla at all.
Hence all efforts failed to makeit default.
2) further putting chrome folder in appdata|mozilla|firefox|profile|xx| also did not brin back my old firefox settings like top sites settings etc.
Any help will be appreciated.
