Unfortunately you have now created a duplicate discussion in #32261 not a new issue. A new issue would be created by clicking on Issues, not Discussions. 
I suggest not to try to create any new issue at this point in time. Instead follow the recommendation to manually install geckodriver and report back the results. If it is successful then we can stop there. If not, then we can do further troubleshooting steps in this discussion item. |

I executed the npx geckodriver and did get the message'>
1755392707893 geckodriver INFO Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444' visible in de Terminal.
Unfortunately, the issue remains. Could it be I have certain add-ons and plug-ins installed on the FF I use?(just guessing)
Something 'blocks' FF

An alternate way to install the geckodriver that also works on Windows 10 is to execute:
npx geckodriver
$ npx geckodriver
2025-08-16T15:29:38.513Z INFO geckodriver: Detected Geckodriver v0.36.0 to be latest

1755358179539 geckodriver INFO Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444
After it has successfully downloaded you can kill the process (Ctrl-C). If the geckodriver is already loaded, then it shows only the "INFO Listening" line. If the geckodriver is not loaded and there is a network issue, I found that I got an error message after waiting for about 2 minutes.

It looks like you were using the wrong instruction to get the version of geckodriver. Perhaps you tried to run the incorrect command node geckodriver --version? According to https://github.com/webdriverio-community/node-geckodriver/blob/main/README.md#installing you would need to run:
npx geckodriver --version
to show the version installed.

If you use the e-mail interface to reply, then no attachments are added and text may be sanitized so that information is missing. You will probably need to use the browser interface instead of e-mail to post complete information. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you have 2 You could also create a separate clean new project to test with, which only includes a single default spec and only uses Cypress without any other dependencies.

Thank for you updating your post! To make logs more readable you should use GitHub Markdown fenced code syntax like this: Switching on logs was not expected to solve any problem, only to give more information, and what I see in your logs looks very much similar to the logs I found on a system not connected to Internet. See the issue #32205 you already know about. So I don't know the reason for this as you already showed that you were able to download the Are you connected to a corporate network, or a proxy server or do you have any special network settings?

In your situation I would go back to using Cypress 14 until at least @testing-library/cypress supports Cypress 15. See testing-library/cypress-testing-library#282 You should be seeing an error when you try to install dependencies. This isn't related to your Firefox issue though. |

Large log files are not easy to handle if they are just pasted in to a comment as text. You could copy the log text into a file locally, use Windows' Compress to ZIP file (should be available in right-click context menu) and upload the file as an attachment to GitHub. I can compare it with running the same test on my own Windows system and see if there are differences that might point to your issue. |

Sir McCready, after 2 days of trying everything out(chatting with the Gitbot and executing all its suggestion commands, deleting commands, adding commands, deleting and adding git chatbot suggestions lines in e2e),Trying out all Firefox configurations (save mode, develop mode etc), after entering all error messages I got after executing the Git Chatbot suggestions......After 2 days.....it came up with ; Try starting VS Code in admin mode.......Stupid AI!!!!!!!, when VSCode runs in admin mode I can select FF and run tests in it....G#DD^mn it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only in Cypress 15.1.0 a lot of commands do not work that DID work in f.e. 10.0.0 (ie Drag and drop/find by text/move/) Do you perhaps know what Cypress version has the most commands still in it???? And if needed, when I install additional commands/plugins, maybe I can address my questions to you? Or just ask them in the general discussions section here? Should I leave this query open, in case someone has a solution to use FF as testbrowser without starting VSCode in admin mode?? kr |

It's good to hear that you found a way to run Cypress with Firefox! It sounds like you have different permissions on your system compared to mine. When I checked using a PowerShell terminal opened in regular VS Code I could run Firefox without having admin privileges. For your case, where it didn't work, if it was only a permissions issue, I would have expected to get a clearer error message instead of the apparent stack trace that you posted from your logs. So there may still be an issue with Cypress or Since you've found a solution yourself, you can mark your own post as answer. That doesn't prevent anyone else adding their comments to this thread. For your other questions, it doesn't sound like I can answer them for you. You could ask other users in a new thread here in Discussions or use the Cypress community chat on Discord. There is no guarantee you will get an answer in either place, however there are a lot more users active in Discord. For documentation, the Changelog and Migration Guide are good places to understand differences between releases. If you want help about things which do not work, then you will get the best help if you describe exactly what you did, what you expected to happen and what actually happened. Also if you can provide the simplest example, that is also helpful. Try to keep one thread focussed on one topic for clarity. You can also try to get your answers from AI, since you already have experience with this, although you need to be careful about believing everything that AI tells you! Good luck with your Firefox testing! 🙂 |

I will ask the manager for the Discord Cypress Community next week to review the status of your Discord user.
