Firefox Community Forum

I'm trying to install Firefox to my 2012 Asus u57a laptop from a SD card that is in my phone cause the Internet explorer is outdated cause it is on Windows 7 and I am trying to get Windows 10

I have been having trouble with my Windows 11 laptop. In my efforts to resolve these issues I noticed that I now have two installs of Firefox in my Control Panel. Both installed during my time of dealing with my Windows issue. Five days apart Feb 5 and 10, 2026. Both show the same version number 147.0.3, and same size 322MB. I have used FF for many years so these seem to have been installed sometime during my efforts to repair Windows. My FF was never a part of the Windows issue AFAIK.

Anyway I have FF working as I like with my Session Manager and various AddOns and personal settings, so I do not want to have to start over with FF. So how do I choose which instance of FF to uninstall in Control Panel?

My issue with Windows was my Outlook would not connect to the server. I assume Microsoft Exchange server, my internet connectivity was fine. And FF was fne as well. I eventually was able to repair my M365 connectivity. Major PITA from out of nowhere.

Why in blue blazes do you have to make the download process so friggin' convoluted?

Why not have ..... press "GO". whilst waiting .... go and make a cuppa! We'll do the important bits......?

Seriously.... It's been eight months since I last enjoyed access to my p.c. ....... Welcome back to the "icky" bits.........

I could cheerfully do without them!!!!

I would like to ask you for supplementing system requirements for Firefox on Linux machines presented on pages like this, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/133.0/system-requirements/ All the requirements shown for Firefox 133 on this page are satisfied in my Linux Fedora 20 with versions of the required libraries updated but Firefox cannot start GUI. As this concerns all Firefox versions newer than Firefox 95 that has the same requirements concerning Linux system and is functional in my system I have filed a bug report to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 Almost immediately I have seen the comment below my report, "Fedora 20 saw its end of life 114 months ago. Nobody cares about supporting Fedora 20 anymore." with status RESOLVED WONTFIX that means, "The problem described is a bug which will never be fixed." This means that some other requirements exist whence maybe a minimal number of Linux distribution should be noted as required for new Firefox versions to work. For "older" Linux users this would save them a lot of time.

So I'm working on a custom version of windows 10, and firefox is starting to gain popularity, and it is my personal favorite. And because of that, I want it to be the default pre-installed browser on my windows 10 version. But I can't find a way to embed it in the ISO, I don't want to run the installer during the windows 10 installation or after setup, I want it to be pre-installed.

I would like to know where firefox installs, and if possible get firefox's files and put them in the right directories.

When attempting install firefox on linux using the recommended install method (in order to use 1password fully i cannot install it via snap) the priority does not change from 500 to 1000 using the parameters described in the install guide. Here is an image showing my issue.

I think when Mozilla was formed, it received all the assets of the former Netscape Communications corp, yes?

I tinker with some VMs running vintage OSes, including DOS+Win 3.1, and Linux distro releases from the 90's and early 2000's. I'd like to, for example install Netscape 1.x or 2.x on Win 3.1 and Debian Hamm 2.0.

I am wondering if Mozilla has a download archive somewhere with historic releases like Netscape 1.x through 4.x for all platform for which builds were originally released?
