Answer 1

I ran into the same problem today, and it appears that not being admin on my laptop is actually an issue. To resolve it

• Install in a non admin way Firefox (just need to click on no when Windows ask for privilege elevation)

• Use the exe path (for my system something like C:\\Users\\MyUserName\\AppData\\Local\\MozillaFirefox\\firefox.exe).

  It actually solved the issue.
