I've been tasked with removing Firefox from all Windows workstations in our enterprise environment. Our users don't have local admin, so when they install Firefox, it is installed in the user's profile.

I've just installed Firefox 143.0.1 in my own user profile for testing purposes. However, when I attempt to uninstall, either from Control Panel or by running %localappdata%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe manually, UAC prompts for elevation, even though I installed without elevating.

Is this a known issue? If yes, is there a workaround?

Thanks!

I erased my iPhone and reinstalled Duo afterwards. There is no problem with the notices Columbia U sends to my iPhone to complete a Columbia sign in. But Firefox rejects the codes Duo generates for Firefox sign in on university-owned computers. There was no problem before I cleaned my phone and reinstalled Duo.

FIrefox 143 appears to prepend a google link to some links when clicked ... ...

… … and then after a delay load the page with the correct link.

This appears to be something new (or never noticed before) after my MAC OSX upgrade to 26.

Can't tell who's problem it is but it's annoying. Have to try other browsers to know if it's just firefox.

Any insights would be appreciated.

I have to manually change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting evertime I switch from my laptop to an external monitor. What can I do to avoid this every single time?

How do I stop the attached Newsmax webpage error message that I encounter daily? I am using Firefox on a Macbook with OS Sequoia 15.6.1. This error message requires that I switch to Brave to view Newsmax. This has been a longstanding problem with Firefox which I've posted before to no avail. Can anyone advise what the problem is? Thank you.

I have LOTS of empty bookmark tags and am unable to delete them.

Also your ' Which topic best describes your question' does not apply to my question and I'm sure many others!

When I download firefox, the download automatically shows Bing as the search engine, even if I designate another search engine such as Chrome. I want to delet eBing from FireFox or I will have to use another browser,

Firefox shows my operating system is Windows 10. My computer insists it is operating with Windows 11. Please update Firefox to indicate the correct operating system, that is, Windows 11.

I am unable to access one site, that is, Ameriprise Financial. I have tried from Ameriprise financial emails, via Google browser. No access avenue will give me a login page. Any idea what might be stopping this access?

Hi I have lost all my passwords and bookmarks.

Going into Time Machine, I wenk back a week, highlighted the Firefox app, and hit the restore button.

So far, so good.

When I tried to open it, a message was displayed: Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks etc already saved to an existing Firefox profile. Create a new profile.

I tried to create a new profile without success. The page displayed did not explain how to do this.

TIA.

Old laptop died , its not repairable, but the SSD Hard drive is OK , all the data on it and software is intact , but only thing I cant find or access is Firefox bookmarks and thats bad as i use them for my work ...what can i do to recover my bookmarks ???

The previous version allowed me to have Firefox as my browser and Brave as my search engine. Now Brave is both my browser and search engine. In the general settings, it says Firefox is my default browser. I'm confused. I just want to be like it was before the update. Please help.

Google told me to go to About.Config, find "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" then change the value to false. But, at least in my version of FF, that doesn't work because browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon isn't listed. I'm running 142.0.01.

I know FF is trying to please all the wonderful teenagers who want to constantly screw around with software settings. But it would be really nice if such new "features" were not turned on automatically.

I have Firefox (always updated to the latest version) and I have noticed a memory leak that EATS up RAM. I have 1 tab open, playing a set spotify playlist. within 24 hours of rebooting the machine, Firefox has swallowed 7gb of my Memory as shown in Activity Monitor/Memory Pressure. I've been having this issue for some time, updates to MACos make no difference either. NO other program does this. I've tested the same playlist in other browsers, Chrome, Safari, uses 1gb, brave/opera uses less than 500mb and they've been open for over a week. This memory leak is a bug in Firefox. I've seen it before (other software, mainly on Windows) but never like this on a Mac......How do I escalate this?
