    Hello,

    I see no reason why it would not clean Firefox on Win11.

    Hi ,

    I think it was due to the fact that I installed firefox from the microsoft store.. Now I downloaded it via a web browser, I can see all the options in the Privazer menu to clean Firefox.
    Anyways it's fixed now, thanks for the swift response and I'm sorry that I bothered you! (this was probably a noob mistake:()

    Greetings and have a good weekend :)

    Right, PrivaZer will not clean Firefox if you download it from the Windows store.
    Maybe we should add it but I'm not sure it is downloaded from the store a lot. Users prefer to download it from the Mozilla website. But things can change in the future. ;)

    Good weekend to you @Annoyed Ninja

    @stapp has sent me a private message suggesting a good solution.

    If you want PrivaZer to clean Firefox when installed from the Windows store, simply add a custom profile path in PrivaZer for "Firefox".
    The path to add is like this :
    C:\Users\your usernamehere\AppData\Local\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2\LocalCache\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    In PrivaZer, click on "advanced options" and add the path here for "Firefox" :

    Hope it helps,

    Fladen,

    I couldn't over install, nor uninstall either:

    After exiting WiseVector StopX 3.02 beta I could reinstall, but I don't know my License Number for the Donor Version.

    @The_PrivaZer_Team ?

    Thanks.

    I had the same problem. Couldn't find a solution but I was going to upgrade to Win11 Pro anyway, since that upgrade I haven't seen that error again @Krusty.
    I had several other weird problems like unable to open Steam, Geforce Experience and some others I already forgot . I was getting so frustrated about it that I did a clean install of my Windows 10 Pro to Win11 Pro.

    I have 2 hard drives on my W7-64 pc, 1 SSD and 1 HDD.
    PrivaZER v4.0.35 manages to clean the free space on the SSD without any problems but not on my HDD (35 passages).
    Before cleaning and after cleaning the free space remains 95% full.
    I have tried twice + restarting my computer but it doesn't change anything.
    What can I do ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your feedback,
    As discussed by emails, it seems to be a detection problem of leftovers in the free space. 95% seems to have to be cleaned despite the fact that a cleanup has just be performed.

    We will investigate.
    We keep you posted here.

    Thanks @The_PrivaZer_Team .

    After a clean install (and an update to WiseVector StopX in case it matters) PrivaZer is working again. If I see that error in the future I shall do as you suggested.

    @The_PrivaZer_Team ,

    FYI, this might explain it:

    Anyone else seeing a huge throttling from Privazer site. I have been getting from 30 to 65 KB/sec.

    Win10 Os
    Installed privazer free to os and attached privzer to task bar. Upon logging out then in, Privazer is not on task bar .

    Currently looking at the start menu there is a general heading Privazer under which is Uninstall Privazer.
    Below the above is a link to privazer in C:\ programs files (x86) - there is no Privazer within that folder.

    I am currently re-downloading privazer installation as the privazer update seems to be the only installation I have.
