Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

Moving from an older Ubuntu 18.04 machine where Firefox is limited to version 113 to a newer machine running Mint 22 where the current version is 134.

I know how to transfer the profiles but I could not find any information on compatibility.

Would I need to install other versions before 134 to handle any changes?

Thank you

Greetings.

I am using an old Linux Mint version. I got messages that my Firefox needed to be updated.

I finally figured out how to do that and updated it. I started to use it. No problems.

However, the update did not change the default Firefox in the menu or on the taskbar panel below. If I click on them, I get the old version.

So when I restarted the computer, when I clicked on the Firefox shortcut icon in the lower taskbar I got the old version with the tabs that were on it. I had to go back into the Firefox file downloaded for the update in order to open the new version.

So, how do I get a working shortcut icon for the new version and get rid of the old version/icon?

Thanks.

All over this site it says how great it is and what it does but no where does it say what the current version is or even what the version of the downloads are. You tube says multiple versions are not playable on this version yet this is the current version i am using. Software developers have really hit low levels of Not KISS.

I am using version 88.0 and browser, both outdated and not supported. How do I update to current version and update browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate, please keep it simple. Also, I am alone, not help available. Thank you

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!

I'm putting off upgrading Linux as I have many hundreds of undocumented addons which will be lost and would take forever to attempt to remember how to re-install.

(in fact I might just switch to macos and try using homebrew).

It seems very harsh that upgrading Firefox has been prevented by linux mint for years now.

Yes Homebrew is perhaps the way forward! Life would be easier with just one O/S as I need Macos anyway for adobe lightroom.

Hello, I'm pretty tired of Firefox updating itself without asking me or warning me, just telling me that it's going to force me to restart and kill all of my private windows without any chance of continuing browsing. I'd like to disable updates but it seems that they are forced upon the user regardless of choice. Is there a way to prevent them from happening? I managed to disable them on Linux by some miracle but can't find a way to do the same on Mac. I'd also like to remove the little popup that suggests updates every time I open it. No chance of that either? The browser is made for browsing and not for serving the needs of the browser. I really love what Firefox used to be but at this point I might as well switch to something else. The blatant disregard for user experience is what's killing me.
