CCleaner v5.31.6104 (64-bit) broke my browsers profile

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

It seems like CCleaner 5.31.6104 64 bits broke settings from:

  • Mozilla Firefox 64 bits
  • Pale Moon 64 bits
  • Comodo IceDragon 64 bits

All of these browsers start:

  • Asking if I want to set them as default web browser
  • With my persona themes removed
  • With default configurations
  • With all add-ons reinstalling as if it was the first time

This is the second time in 2017 you screw up Firefox based web browsers. :angry: Please, less CCleaner releases and more reviewing.

Oh, great! I've just found out CCleaner also deleted completely my Mozilla Thunderbird configuration! Not only that but ALL MY ACCOUNTS AND MAIL TOO!

Great job, Pirifom! Well done! Clap, clap, clap, you deserve it!

CCleaner 6104 was patched the same day as it was released to build 6105 because of the Mozilla/Thunderbird issue.

Another member has pointed out that, rather than CCleaner being at fault here, it is a faulty Thunderbird update (52.2.0) that is the cause of this problem.

There are by now a few accounts of this problem with Thunderbird 52.2.0.

It seems to be random with some machines affected and others not.

I'm not sure about Firefox, Pale Moon, or Ice Dragon but as these are all based on the same Mozilla engine, and have also been updated this week, then they could all be giving the same fault.
