Firefox Helper Instructions

How to Use Firefox Helper

  1. Download the Tool: Download the firefox-helper.exe file from the previous page.
  2. Run the Executable: Run the firefox-helper.exe file that you downloaded. If it says that windows protected your computer, click More Info, and Run Anyways. This is because Microsoft is greedy and requires 300-600 dollars per year to get rid of that popup. Feel free to compile it yourself using msvc if you feel most comfortable that way.
  3. Click on "Launch Firefox": This will run Firefox. This should only take a couple seconds. When it asks for administrator (the UAC prompt), click escape on your keyboard, or press no on the screen. Firefox does not need administrator permissions, however the permission requests are deeply rooted within its installer, and are not easy to change.
  4. Relaunch Firefox after closing it: If you closed out firefox, click the relaunch button again. Running it through the start menu will NOT work, so do not complain about that.

If you encounter any issues besides the already known ones, please let me know.
