My Mozilla browser has had me download "firefox Installer" daily for the past 6 days. The browser works as is. Is there a problem?

Hey Arnold, It looks like NordVPN broke Firefox's ability to auto-update. They added Firefox's update url to their block list which confuses Firefox so it keeps asking you to update.

A Reddit user tracked it down to NordVPN being the problem: "Figured it out. When NordVPN "Web Protection" is on, Firefox fails to check for updates from the About menu as well. When "Web Protection" is off, Firefox correctly checks for updates. I surmise that when Firefox fails to check, it assumes that I need an update and gives the original annoying message."

The Web Protection is in the same area as NordVPN's "Threat Protection". It can be found by clicking the Shield icon on the left sidebar of the program. Then click on "Pause" or the slider button to disable it.

Please let me know if that gets rid of the failure to update messages in Firefox.

The Firefox team has already filed a bug with Nord & are getting it escalated so they can fix it asap.
