Option 4: End Firefox Session then Run CCleaner

Before you try this fix, you need to install a tool called CCleaner. Before you proceed, download a free copy from this link CCLeaner Download. Then install it.

CCleaner is a tool that every Windows PC user should install and use to “clean up” from time to time. It cleans up browser caches, cookies and more. Generally, running this tool from time to time should make your computer run faster (all other factors being equal!).

After installing CCleaner, follow the steps below:

  • Right-click your computer taskbar.
  • Then click Task Manager. When Task Manager opens, locate and click ALL Firefox processes. Then click End task (bottom of task manager).
If you have multiple Firefox processes, ensure to end all of them.
  • When you are done with Task Manager, locate CCleaner app shortcut on your desktop and double-click it.
  • Then click Run Cleaner. Wait for the cleaner to finish. You may receive prompts like the one below. Take a look at the program CCleaner is trying to close. If you are happy to close the app, click Yes.

When CCleaner finishes “cleaning” your PC, open Spotify web player on Firefox browser. “Spotify no longer supports this version of Firefox” error should now be fixed!
