Firefox Community Forum

Over the last few weeks, it feels like this browser is doing updates almost every day on my pc and laptop. After done updating i lose all my cookies, logging me out of all my accounts, dark modes and settings. This is my final attempt before swapping browsers.

I'm running Firefox browser 88.0 (64) bit, and have been trying since before Xmas to upgrade it to a newer version. It's installed on an older Dell laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (which I've also tried repeatedly to upgrade without success).

I've tried to upgrade both through the UI, but also tried using the command line in Terminal. Per advice in other threads, I've found the best mirror site and changed my settings to use that, but still no luck. Even the preliminary "sudo apt update" via Terminal fails; the first error tells me that the public key is not available. I assume that's the place to start, but don't know how to correct it.

I'm up against the deadline for updating my browser, and would very much appreciate any help you can provide. (Please note that I'm posting from a newer computer, so automatically generated info about my system won't apply. See the screenshots for that info).

Ok. I'm visually impaired. until version 90, I think, Firefox was great. Then it got so bad that I tried other browsers, but finding anything with support for the visually impaired is impossible now - we just don't count, that's obvious.

The newest version, what is it? 84357348957? Is impossible. I don't know why the lines between tabs were removed. I assume the developers thought it looked cool, without thinking that SOME OF US DON'T SEE WELL. I can barely use it now. I need to get back to an earlier, at least slightly usable version without losing everything - and I need some way to not be bothered with a popup for update 954785 this week.

Yes, I sound angry. I know that's not cool with tech. But you know? There is no need for 10-20 updates a month. And there's no bloody excuse for the complete disregard for the visually impaired that is now Mozilla's trademark.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, In october, I got a window asking me to update Firefox (I am on OSX 10.9.5). I downloaded the file (Firefox 131.0.3 dmg) opened it, and dragged to applications. Everything seems OK. Now I read that Firefox does not send such windows, but makes background updates. Should I worry ? Thanks ! René

I'm on a Mac Pro running OS Sierra, 10.12.5. I cannot upgrade this Mac due to a specific version of Pro Tools that I have, that will only run on this Mac OS. My current version of Firefox is 115.0.3 (64-bit) on the ESR channel.

My question is this: Is there another version I can update Firefox to, and how? Or is there another browser you would recommend I use?

Thanks, Ray Kallas

When I look at about Firefox it says I'm up to date - but it's only version 115.18. How do I update further? I'm starting to get messages that my browser is no longer supported.

Hi, Somehow I managed to turn off automatic updates or something, because I am have been way out of date. I just checked and it my laptop or mozilla support is telling me I just updated to 113 two weeks ago. Well, that seemed to be the latest update I could get. Now I have just seen that there is mozilla up to something like 123 or 132 or some such. I got the 113 from google store, and I am still getting messages that my laptop is out of date and I need to update it. Can someone please tell me where to get the latest updates and how to go about installing them safely, or how I can turn on automatic updates...I am using Linux mint and that is probably also out of date, but seems to work.

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!
