How can I run a batch file when Firefox starts?

I want to run a .bat file when any .exe file (such as Firefox) is double clicked. I want to run this .bat file when Firefox runs. Is there any way to do this?

I tried with this batch code:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\firefox.exe" /v Debugger /d "D:\Desktop\m.bat" /f

Here, m.bat is the file which I want to run when Firefox runs.

1You didn't run the reg add command correctly. In the screen shot of your registry where it shows m.bat it should say firefox.exe. Also, the data of your Debugger value should be D:\Desktop\m.bat, not the dash you currently have. Look more closely at the proposed duplicate answer. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2017-04-21T18:32:36.403

thank you very much but the code is running m.bat instead of firefox I don't want that I want firefox run and m.bat running in background – Muhammad Khaled – 2017-04-22T10:06:34.400

You could use a batch file as wrapper that executes your instruction first and than runs Firefox or the reverse.

In this case you would let the shortcut to Firefox point to the batch.
