Dear Firefox-Community, alot of our customers are using firefox esr on alot of Azure Virtual Desktop or RDS Session Hosts.

Now we have the issue that the auto update background service is not working without the first user which started Firefox.

Example: New Session Host with Firefox -> User X starts Firefox -> Firefox creates scheduled Task in user x context. If User X doesn't log in to the Session host no automatic Updates are installed.

We've activated the maintenance service

Is there any way to allow autoupdate without user x being logged in to the session host?

I'm trying to restore Firefox Bookmarks and stored login/passwords from a Time Machine backup of my Macbook Pro. I've read in the Mozilla support articles where this info is stored, but my backups have no Firefox folder under "Applications Support." Did it get eliminated when I signed up with Mozilla in order to get help with this? These files are on my current system, but they only have a few items that I've entered today.

I am installing Firefox for enterprise. There is a policy that blocks private browsing and is preventing the installation of a working Firefox instance. What command line arguments can be used to prevent the installation of private browsing altogether?

I am seeing a generic icon appearing instead of Firefox logo post installation on Mac.

I have created the following script to automate downloading the latest FF version for Mac

1. !/bin/bash

1. Function to get the latest download URL for Firefox Community

get_latest_Firefox_url() {

   # Replace the following line with a command or script to fetch the latest download URL
   # For example, you might use curl or wget to get the download link from the Firefox website
   # Example: LATEST_URL=$(curl -s https://example.com/Firefox-latest-url)
   LATEST_URL="https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&_gl=1*1mxslk8*_ga*NzMzNzU0NDM3LjE2OTY5MTIyMzY.*_ga_MQ7767QQQW*MTY5NjkxMjIzNi4xLjEuMTY5NjkxMjI3MS4wLjAuMA.."
   echo "$LATEST_URL"

}

1. Function to download and install the latest version of Firefox Community

install_Firefox() {

   # Get the latest download URL
   Firefox_URL=$(get_latest_Firefox_url)

   # Download the latest version
   curl -L -o "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg" "$Firefox_URL"

   # Mount the downloaded DMG file
   hdiutil attach "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg"

   # Find the .app file inside the mounted DMG
   Firefox_APP=$(find /Volumes -name "Firefox.app" -type d)

   # Install Firefox from the mounted DMG
   cp -R "$Firefox_APP" /Applications/

   # Unmount the DMG
   hdiutil detach "/Volumes/Firefox" -force

   # Cleanup the temporary files
   rm "/tmp/Firefox-latest.dmg"

   echo "Firefox has been installed successfully!"

}

1. Run the installation function

install_Firefox

This is using the "Try downloading again." URL ==> https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&_gl=1*aoew3g*_ga*NzMzNzU0NDM3LjE2OTY5MTIyMzY.*_ga_MQ7767QQQW*MTY5NjkxMjIzNi4xLjEuMTY5NjkxNDE1OS4wLjAuMA..

What could be the problem?

I am using Jamf PRO to deploy this in a Jamf policy.

Please help!

Thank you, Dave

FF says "account disconnected" but I did not disconnect it.

Ok. So reconnect and launch sync. No problem. 4 other machines have FF and syncing works great.

See tabs etc synced just as I am used to from decades of happily using FF.

But close out and restart. WIN 11 new desktop.

Come back to FF and get "account disconnected".

Your thoughts greatly appreciated!

Hi, I uninstalled my old firefox from macbook by going to the 'application' folder and dragging it into the bin I then installed a new firefox However now I have two firefox on my macbook - could anyone tell me how to solve this???

Thanks!

Version 118.0 Seit heute Morgen kann ich Firefox nicht mehr normal starten. Nur als Admin, es werden aber keine Webseiten mehr angezeigt und wenn ich in die Adresszeile etwas eingebe passiert nichts. Ich habe den Browser deinstalliert und neu installiert, ohne Erfolg. Dann habe ich die Unser Datei gelöscht, ohne Erfolg. Die Firewall blockiert nicht und den Virenschutz habe ich deaktiviert, ohne Erfolg. Beides ist das original Win10 Werkzeug. Wenn ich about:support eingebe passiert nichts, kann das Menu aber über den Link öffnen

Hello,

When I try to import my bookmark.html, I've got a success message but it is not appearing in my Bookmarks. Can you please help? Thanks in advance,

Josephine

‘I keep getting 'Hmm. For some reason, we could not install Firefox.' I have plenty of disc space and run the install as administrator. The computer is a Windows Surface Pro running Windows 10 PRO.’ for ‘Firefox’

I needed to upgrade to the latest version, where my previous version was being discontinued.

When I clicked the button to, download and upgrade, Firefox closed, and nothing else happened, it didn't relaunch.

What actually happened was that version of the Firefox .exe was removed, not updated, and I lost all of my current work and open tabs. Well I reinstalled and got my bookmarks back, but not the closed tabs.

How can I get those back? I had 20+ open and need to review what I was working on previously.

Thanks, Steve

I had my clean restore and had most everything migrated to the update. The man downloaded the bookmarks to a Json file. How do use that to bring my bookmarks back to my screen.

When uninstalling Firefox developer edition my anti virus firewall popped this message:

"Firefox Developer Edition Helper does not have a valid digital signature"

Filename: Un_A.exe

Does anyone know anything about this?

Why, why when being prompted to update, updating fails and I abort (only real choice) is the previous version of Firefox removed? This happens all the time and every time I have to do a complete new install and redefine all my Quick Access menu items. If this happens one more time, I will use someone else's PDF reader. Updating should not be that hard. I have administrator privilege's so why does your software updates fail?

I need to install Firefox on a new laptop under an existing account, but a new account was already created on the new device. All it will let me do is reinstall under the newly created account.

Following this guide

Added some extensions (core/distribution/extensions), added autoconfig (js in core/defaults/prefs and cfg in core), put a user.js in core/defaults/profile with a userchrome.css in core/defaults/profile/chrome)

Then repackaged (step 4), did step 5 and 6 however when the newly formed installer is run I get a 7-zip error saying "the system cannot find the file specified". The originally installer works so it must be something that I am doing
