I'm a retiree in my mid 70's...I've heard that Firefox will stop extending ESR's past March of this year. I'm not in a position to buy and update all my software and laptop & desktop the latter can't go any higher on Mac OS. So I'm asking that you please consider continuing support for older browsers. My browser is Mac Safari 14.1.2, I would be OK making a good sized donation to Mozilla or paying a monthly subscription if necessary to be kept updated on Firefox ESR's. I've seen other inquiries on your site from others asking about the same thing. So please consider my request and let me know if there's anything I can do to get your continued ESR support for my computers. It would mean a great deal to me and I know quite a few others as well...So please pass my thoughts up to management and I will hope for the best...

My Thanks,

Tom D.

My MacOS is 10.13.6 (cannot go higher on this machine). Since update to 15.119.0esr, embedded map graphics are no longer showing. The map graphic sub-window instead shows "Sorry, we have no imagery here" in several places across the map. I am getting the same for multiple websites, including the location maps in Zillow.com . Google Maps works fine, and I think the problem is isolated to maps embedded in pages. Did not have this issue last week, prior to updating to 15.119.0esr. This is SO BAD that if it's not fixable, I want to revert to 15.118...

I'm on a Mac running OS 10.14.6. I have consistently updated, and currently have Firefox 115.20.0esr. Yesterday a tax website said my Firefox was out of date, and wanted me to update. From within Firefox I clicked to update, and it downloaded an installer. But when I installed this new update, it's the same version: 115.20.0esr.

Can you shed any light on this? Is there any reason to keep this "new" version of Firefox?

Thank you for your help!

I was on FF ESR with manual update - setting = "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" I'm on Windows 10 Prof 64bit

On 3 Feb 25 I upgraded to 128.6.0 by downloading Firefox Setup 128.6.0esr 64bit.exe and installing in F:\Firefox (as usual)

Today, (9 Feb 25) I noticed the FF icon in the Task Bar was blank, so I went to F:\Firefox\firefox.exe and reinstated it. I just happened to go to Settings > Apps and noticed I had 2 FF installed:

128.6.0 installed 3 Feb 25 and 128.7.0 installed 9 Feb 25. My FF About says 128.7.0 is installed and F:\Firefox\firefox.exe is dated 8 Feb 25

Unfortunately there seem no way to see where the source is located for these 2 app entries. A search of C: did not find firefox.exe

So why has FF undated today when it is on manual update?

MAYBE I accidentally clicked update to one of the periodic prompts in the top right corner. If so, surely it should not create another entry in the Windows Apps settings

And is it safe to remove one of these, presumably the earlier one, or will that remove both as they seem to share the same folder F:\Firefox\

Hey, I am using firefox-esr from debian repository (128.6.0esr). The problem is that some other language text shows as a rectangular box with numbers and letters inside it. Please help!!!

I want to know whether I can update my current Firefox version with my very old desktop setup. I am using the Firefox browser version 78.15.0esr (64-bit) on my iMac 2007 running OS X El Capitan. This notice came up when opening Firefox: " Your version of Firefox will start to have problems on January 14. A root certificate will expire, causing some preferences and other features to stop working. On March 14, 2025, add-ons and more features will also break." Following the instructions to update, in About Firefox window, it checks for updates and then shows Firefox is up to date. I've interpreted this as there's no version available that I can update to. Is that correct?

Hello Mozilla, I have a Lenovo G700 laptop with the WINDOWS 7 Pro operating system My browser is Firefox 115.19.0 (see file Firefox.jpg) During the security check in online banking I am told that the browser is out of date (see firefox2.jpg) But I can only update the version and it says "Firefox is up to date" What's wrong with that?

Like probably a Lot of you I don't support the unethical So-called "Forced-obsolescence" and am not planning to "upgrade" Microsoft every 18 months or so for the next 90 years on each on Every single family Computer and give in to their Scare tactics for financial, environmental and Ethical reasons.

I am currently running Firefox "Extended Support," or ESR, I think it's called. Was wondering, If I ever **DO** decide to upgrade our bloatware Spyware operating system(s), basically if they break enough Apps like Apple Likes to do to force an upgrade, how difficult or easy would it be to Migrate from ESR to the latest regular version of Mozilla/Firefox...with all my Settings, etc. still in place?

Hi, During some tests I found that FF 115.19.0esr can still execute arbitrary JS similarly to CVE-2024-4367. I’ve checked the versions and > 115.11esr should be patched. Any payload with ‘/JS’ taken from https://github.com/luigigubello/PayloadsAllThePDFs/tree/main will do. Since this is probably important – FontMatrix is *not* working (no JS), original PoC (https://codeanlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/poc_generalized_CVE-2024-4367.pdf) is also *not* working. I also wasn’t able to call an external script and so far haven’t found any path to exploit it beyond an alertbox. However, it still bothers me a lot and I’d like to know whether it’s the correct, expected behavior with FF+pdf.js, is it a vulnerability, or maybe my browser was somehow corrupted or is using some other mechanism that’s not within your control (my settings? about:config?).

Steps to re-create: 1. Open file in notepad 2. Add ‘/OpenAction 99 0 R’ after ‘lang’ in ‘1 0 obj section’ 3. After ‘endobj’ add ‘99 0 obj <</Type /Action /S /JavaScript /JS (app.alert\(1\);)>>’ 4. Result – alertbox popping twice

Hello, in Firefox some Geek fonts are displayed as square shapes, in other browsers e.g. Safari are same characters on same website are displayed normal, using the last update of Firefox 128.6.0 Firefox ESR , is there any solution? Thanks

Recently upgraded to Firefox ESR 128.6.0. I can no longer see images. The "ALL" page has text where images would have been displayed. The "Images" page just shows place holders. If I click on an image I again see a placeholder. If I click on View FIle I can see the image as it takes me to the remote site that hosts the image.

This affects DDG only as far as I can tell. I've tried other search engines, but not other browsers as all chome based browsers are blocked.

If I go to any other website, for the most part images are rendered correctly. There is always the occasional image that doesn't show, but that's been that way for years.

I've cleared my cache/cookies. Reset the settings. But no luck.

I restored my previous 115 and 102 esr profiles (first uininstalling firefox then installing the requisite version of Firefox), and images work fine in those versions. This issue is only present in 128esr.

Any ideas on what might be the issue? thank you in advance.

Hello, I am experiencing unexpected behaviour with local storage in Firefox Portable ESR 102.1.0 on Windows 11. In particular, the data is not deleted as expected after closing the application, even after clearing the cache in my code, the data persists when I open the application the next time. This behaviour is observed under windows10 but is common under windows11.

I suspect that this issue may be related to:

• Interactions between Firefox Portable's cache management and Windows 11's system-level caching
• Specific behavior of the ESR 102.1.0 version on Windows 11

I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide any insights or solutions.

Dear Sir,

Firefox is not working with Rabby Wallet and Metamask extensions.

It does no pop-up the window to see the transaction and sign it. Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit). Windows 10 Home.

On Metamask at least I can click on the pinned extension and see the window. However it´s not the expected behavior, because it should open the pop-up automatically. With Rabby wallet it is impossible to proceed, even clicking on the extension icon.

Please fix it.

I have just got a new laptop and installed everything in relation to Firefox onto it. I have used the Nordpass extension for a couple of years and on the old laptop this is version 5.23.13 updated 16/10/24. On visiting the add-on and extension site today there is only a legacy version 4.33 updated 2y ago which clearly no longer works. Where has it gone. Clearly I am going to ask the same question of Nord, but I hope you can help.
