I share your pain.
I, too, have not been able to install any Firefox version recently, including
conspicuously failing with the allegedly accessible ESR versions and even the
older portable versions without the Accessibility warning and consequent
problems using Firefox springing up on install. Why Mozilla would want to
cripple accessibility on even the older portable versions is a mystery to me.
If anybody has an old portable install that has not been update/crippled by
Mozilla I would be glad to receive it as I want to use an old Portable version
of Firefox with WebVisum as a capture solution.
Although I am not happy you are having problems it is reassuring to an extent
for me. I thought it was just me.
My solution is to dump Firefox.
I am now using Chrome firstly and Waterfox as a backup.
