Cypress doesnt detect firefox 64 bit

[kaviad3]

I installed cypress and visual studio , I am using Firefox browser , when I opened Cypress Test Runne it shows only chrome but I need to run test only on Firefox

When I tried to run the tests from the test runner I am getting the following error

When I tried to run the command : ./node_modules/.bin/cypress run --browser firefox I got this error

Can't run because you've entered an invalid browser name.

Browser: 'firefox' was not found on your system or is not supported by Cypress.

Cypress supports the following browsers:
- chrome
- chromium
- edge
- electron
- firefox (Cypress support in beta)

You can also use a custom browser: https://on.cypress.io/customize-browsers

Available browsers found on your system are:
- chrome
- electron
glob error [Error: ECANCELED: operation canceled, scandir 'C:\CypressProjects\CypressAutomation\cypress\integration\examples'

] {
  errno: -4081,
  code: 'ECANCELED',
  syscall: 'scandir',
  path: 'C:\\CypressProjects\\CypressAutomation\\cypress\\integration\\examples'

Desired behavior:

I checked and the cypress should support firefox from V4.0.1

Test code to reproduce

describe ("My test", function() 
{
    // all the tests 
    it("my first case", function() {
        cy.visit("https://rahulshettyacademy.com/seleniumPractise/#/")
        cy.get (".search-keyword").type("ca")
        cy.wait (3000)
        cy.get(".product:visible").should("have.length",4)

        //Parent child changning 
        cy.get('.products').find('.product').should("have.length",4)
        cy.get('.products').find('.product').eq(2).contains("ADD TO CART").click()
    ()
    } ) 
}  )

Versions

windows 10 Enterprise version 1709
Cypress package version: 4.12.1
Cypress binary version: 4.12.1
FireFox 79.0 64 bit
node v12.18.3

Could you run Cypress in debug mode specifically logging cypress:launcher logs and run cypress info and print the entire set of logs here?

I'm not able to recreate the issue in Chrome and seeing the error message, I suspect you are behind a proxy?

Please refer to our instructions on how to set up your proxy configuration so that Cypress doesn't encounter any errors.

Sorry for my delay respond , I rechecked again and now the test pass in chrome but can you check why cypress doesn't recognize FireFox, attached the debug log . Do you need any more details ?
cypress debug log.txt

The log you shared doesn't seem to contain any DEBUG output

@kaviad3 what path is Firefox installed at on your system?

[kaviad3]

the path - \AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

[flotwig]

Currently Cypress only searches the system-wide installation locations for Firefox (Program Files, Program Files (x86)):

cypress/packages/launcher/lib/windows/index.ts

Lines 38 to 45 in 64a60f4

	function getFirefoxPaths (editionFolder) {
	return () => {
	return (['Program Files', 'Program Files (x86)'])
	.map((programFiles) => {
	return normalize(`C:/${programFiles}/${editionFolder}/firefox.exe`)
	})
	}
	}

Probably this should be extended to include the AppData folder as well, like we already do for Chrome

@kaviad3 how did you install Firefox?

[kaviad3]

The Firefox was already installed when I got the laptop , I am using my work laptop . When this issue will be fixed

Able to reproduce by installing Firefox and declining to install as admin. Ends up installing at this location:

C:\Users\nonadmin\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
C:\Users\nonadmin\AppData\Local\Firefox Nightly\firefox.exe
C:\Users\nonadmin\AppData\Local\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe
