I did upload a new BrowserCI version that displays a log tab showing the various steps of detectiing browsers. Could you please copy'n'paste that log here? It might show where it stops.

Ouch, didn't expect that the Mozilla section would be completely empty. That means he didn't even find the profiles.ini file. Which probably means a problem determining the appdata path (which, since it should work for inactive accounts as well, is a bit more complex than usual).
I'll see if I can extend the log (and possibly detection) to find out more...

Update: have you tried the 1.6.1 beta? While looking for possible reasons I just noticed that we had updated the appdata folder detection shortly after the release of 1.6.0 for those cases where the registry did not contain the shell appdata folder info (the registry is not the proper place anyway usually... but the only if you want to deal with multiple user accounts).
The old registry only method would use this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData=C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming

Tried Spybot S&D 1.6.1 Beta, still no firefox immunization.
I'll update the test tomorrow to show even more small steps to make sure we find the source of this. Could you meanwhile check the aforementioned registry value? Does it exist? Is it empty?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell FoldersOriginally Posted by PepiMK
The directory tree stops till there and contains 3 registry keys
That makes it quite complicated to find any place in the registry to use...
I've updated BrowserCI (as our browser testfield) with a few other attempts at re-using other registry keys to use to find out the AppData path, as well as - the official way but not multi-user compatble - falling back to API calls.
Hope this'll be able to detect Firefox; in that case I could port the changes to Spybot as well.

I also had this problem on a 32bit vista machine a while back. My only conclusion was a botched Firefox issue when I restored my profile after a system loss. I posted here but we never figured it out.
Have you done anything regarding backing up or restoring your Firefox installation/profile? I.E. using a program called Mozbackup?
My post for reference.
