The update to 59.0.1 once again broke my taskbar icon and link.

Managed to unpin it without a restart this time and repinned it from file explorer.

However it was then showing with the name "Firefox(3)" which indicated that the previous 2 were still about somewhere.
Trying to change the name of the taskbar link in properties just asked me if I wanted to create Firefox(4).

So the solution:

  • Unpin firefox from the taskbar.
  • Open file explorer and go to:
  • %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
  • Delete all instances of the Firefox shortcut. (3 of them in this case)
  • Repin Firefox to the taskbar from file explorer. (or the start menu apps list).

And the update to 59.0.2 broke my taskbar icon again. It's minor but it's getting anoying.

PS. The problem I reported earlier with Malwarebytes Anti Exploit stand alone beta causing new tab crashes with Firefox has now been solved.
A new version of MBAE beta, v1.12.1.56, is now available for those who want it. Remember it's an experimental beta testing version.
https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/205225-mbae-112-build-56-latest-experimental-build/
(The Anti-Exploit included in the main MB3 programme remains unaffected, it was only an issue with the AE beta testing version - that's partly what beta versions are for).

you->appdata->roaming->microsoft->internet explorer->quick launch->firefox icon and link

 

in user pinned\taskbar is nothing...

I'm not sure but it's only been a problem with 59.# updates.

The fact that it was creating multiple instances at that location seems to say it's the right pathname.

\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar shows all my pinned taskbar items. (in Windows 10).

I've mentioned the issue through mozilla feedback.

For anyone using the Malwarbytes for Firefox (beta) extension.

There currently seems to be a clash with CCleaner and the Malwarebytes beta extension for Firefox, this clash is somehow triggering the extension to block the downloading of installation (.exe) files if CCleaner has been run to clear Firefox.

It only seems to be affecting the downloading of .exe files, - documents and media files download normally.

It's easily fixed by opening the Firefox Add-ons manager, clicking 'Remove' for the extension, and then clicking on 'undo'.

The Malwarebytes devs have been looking at this downloading issue, but I only pinned down the clash with CC this morning:
https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/228684-win10-media-creation-tool-download-blocked-mb-for-firefox/?tab=comments#comment-1242332

EDIT
I've tracked this further and it's the cleaning of Firefox 'Site Preferences' by CCleaner that causes the Malwarebytes download blocks to start happening.

If they need any help/info from us we will be happy to oblige. Depending on what they mean, coding around the conflict may not give the best results (better to solve the root cause than apply a plaster/bandaid). It might be better in the long-run to have a direct conversation and collaborate.

Cheers Stephen,

You've probably seen that I've added over there that it's the removal of database file 'permissions.sqlite' that seems to be the problem.

It's only in their latest beta version, v1.0.21, that the issue arose, which suggests that it's something that they changed in that version.
Clicking 'remove' then 'undo' to breifly stop then re-enable the extension, (which takes less than a second), in the Forefox add-ons manager cures it.
Both of which suggest that coding a solution may not be that difficult. (Although of course I don't know the code).

If they can reload their extension database when Firefox starts then that should solve the problem, for any cleaner not just CC.
I'm sure they will reach out to Piriform if needed.

It's worth pointing out again that the Malwarebytes for Firefox extension is a BETA product, so it's going to have  some issues like this whilst it's still in development.
(That's the point of a beta, so that users/testers can pick up things in 'everyday use' that may not be seen by the development team).

Looking at the add-ons page the MB for Firefox (beta) extension has only been downloaded 3,774 times so it's not a huge userbase as yet, not all of those will be using CCleaner as well, and not all will be providing feedback to Malwarebytes. (There was only one 'me too' post confirming the issue before I tracked down just what it was).

I still thought it was worth pointing out the issue here though, for anyone who does have the beta.

One of the MB staff has said that they will be in contact with Piriform about this issue.

Allot of software has quietly without any announcement removed support for systems that don't have at least SSE2, and left the users to post a bunch of complaints on their forums.
