WITHOUT FAIL, I AM INUNDATED WITH YOUR UPDATE POP UP ON A DAILY , AND, MOST TIMES, MORE OFTEN.

THIS HAS GONE ON FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME THAT YOU ''''''FIX YOUR PROBLEM?'''''''

Cut the crap and get your act together and yes, I clear my cashe, etc which DOES NOTHING - BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problem Description

In a server-based environment, I need to implement automatic updates for Mozilla Firefox, while maintaining strict outbound network control.

The architectural requirement is as follows: • Only the update component should be allowed to access the Internet via a proxy. • The browser itself (user browsing sessions) must not inherit or use that proxy configuration. • The proxy configuration for the update mechanism should be logically separated from the browser’s network configuration.

⸻

The Issue

In contrast to the update mechanism used by Google Chrome (Google Update / Omaha), where: • The updater runs as a separate system service • It supports dedicated proxy configuration • It does not inherit browser-level proxy settings • It allows granular control of outbound traffic exclusively for update operations

In Mozilla Firefox: • The update mechanism is tightly integrated with the browser • There is no native, dedicated proxy configuration exclusively for the updater • Proxy configuration applies to the entire browser • It is difficult to implement an “update-only network access” model

I just updated my browser less than a week ago. Today I got another notification for yet another update. This logs me out of everything.

WHY so many and so frequent are firefox browser updates. I am about to stop using this brower if it continues. It's very disruptive!

Thank you for your attention to this.

последнее обновление поломало поиск на страницах и контекстное меню по правому клику мыши. не работает сочетание Ctrl+F. по правому клику мыши контекстное меню на половину пустое,

hi, I love supporting this independent browser - I know its not perfect but it does a great job of doing most things well.

However, and there is a big but. I can be in the middle of an investigation that requires sharing data to a new tab - on opening the tab I'm blocked from going further as Firefox needs to do an update! This is really infuriating. No update can be SO urgent that you stop me using the browser. This is the Microsoft mentality, and its wrong. Can you please investigate NOT forcing users to update their browser during session.

we can not open the web whastapp with my laptop the message from Mozilla Support, we should updated Mozilla latest version. but the problems my laptop still use windows 8 please help and give me the solution How to update? thanks

I have Updates set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" - but several times recently Firefox has blocked me from opening new windows with:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox An update to Firefox started in the background. You'll need to restart to finish the update. Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

Why is Firefox starting to install updates WITHOUT my consent?

And how do I stop Firefox from doing this?

Hello, Within the past hour, "Checking for Updates" keeps running. I thought checking "choose to install" would limit the numerous times this happens per day, but it hasn't.

I've been experiencing this for a couple weeks and it's getting worse. I'm not sure what's going on.

I'm running Windows 11 and the last FF Mozilla update was #147.01.

Please advise.

Thank you, Gina
