Hung update on my WIn 7 machine
Hello, I am still running an old WIn 7 media center because I have applications I need that are no longer supported elsewhere. Firefox ESR has been working just fine up until the most recent update - which repeatedly fails to install each time I start Firefox. Is there a location where this update resides? If so may I know this location and procedure to eliminate this errant update? Thanks!

Note Firefox 115.33.0esr is the last planned for update unless Mozilla decides before then to extend updates yet again.
Thanks for your helpful replies! The Update Folder link got me to where I needed to be. Deleted the "update" sub-folder and my issue is resolved. Looks like 115.31esr is the last update to work properly with my Win 7 Ultimate 64 install. ?
I'm in the process of moving to Ubuntu 26.04LTS with WIne and VirtualBox installed. With this combo I hope to keep those old Win 7 Apps alive. While allowing me to use a more current version of Mozilla to surf with!
Regards, 'sig
