Hi, can someone please to me how to turn off automatic updates on Firefox Version 140.0 (64-bit)? Firefox's own support page, "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-options-preferences-and-settings?as=u&utm_source=inproduct", is incorrect. It states that, "Firefox Updates Here you can check your update history or change update settings for Firefox.", but you can not change the update setting, (see attachment).

It is really annoying it updates while you are using it, ruining your experience as you can no longer refresh tabs or open new ones forcing you to restart it.

Since the last update (was executed today in my case 16-07-2024), firefox has been very slow and freezing and crashing. Also, somehow it is the only browser that can't handle yahoo finance new charts and keeps freezing....so many issues in a short span of time, please check. I have tried other browsers and things seem to work fine there, so, it is not my computer or OS.

Hi,

I wish to make my payment for VPN, and I am getting this issue with my credit card payment. I constantly get this message "Something went wrong. Please try again later." Can you assist?

Thanks

Hello team, When using Firefox to access an application that calls for Java applets, I receive a message saying "frmserlet-3.jnlp. Application not found." (screenshot attached). This did not happen before October 2024.Please help me with a solution. Thank you!

I have the same problems as several others. Bought a new computer and cant get download helper to pin to pin to the toolbar. Have tried hitting the puzzle piece and finding the tab after that for extensions but still cant find how to pin it as it does not give me that option.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, still using maverick's … I tried to upgrade Mozilla and now it doesn’t work.

I am shy of what’s needed to run the latest Firefox version and I’m not able to buy a newer laptop, how can I get restated again with the version that will still work on my MacBook ?.

Hi all,

For the last week or two, (since version 1.30.x or so) my Mac running Sonoma (in aarch64) Firefox hasn't been able to update itself. Now I have no VPN causing woes (like Nord) I do however, use Adblocker Ultimate and Ghostery.

So I do the manual update, and find that the link doesn't "automatically start" the download. So I tell it to download manually with the big blue button... no dice.

So I copy the link location:

https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=osx&lang=en-US&attribution_code=c291cmNlPShub3Qgc2V0KSZtZWRpdW09KGRpcmVjdCkmY2FtcGFpZ249KG5vdCBzZXQpJmNvbnRlbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJmV4cGVyaW1lbnQ9KG5vdCBzZXQpJnZhcmlhdGlvbj0obm90IHNldCkmdWE9ZmlyZWZveCZjbGllbnRfaWRfZ2E0PShub3Qgc2V0KSZzZXNzaW9uX2lkPShub3Qgc2V0KSZkbHNvdXJjZT1tb3pvcmc.&attribution_sig=abdb7ecea583af9de12c794aa139112efc9c10dbce0cd8382f668154ec651a81

If I open that up in a new tab... it STILL doesn't work. But as soon as I remove the last section:

.&attribution_sig=abdb7ecea583af9de12c794aa139112efc9c10dbce0cd8382f668154ec651a81

It downloads fine.

Incidentally, it downloads fine in all the other browsers (Brave, Safari, etc). Also the entire Mozilla support site, if accessed using Firefox, looks as though no CSS is ever loaded. It's been like that for days. Everything else works fine. Just Mozilla sites.

Is anyone else having this problem? It was updating fine until recently.

how do i completely stop updates? or at least until i restart the browser, not the browser making me restart it. i have it set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them", but its not really a choice if im forced to press the button to continue browsing...

it happens twice a day that firefox prevents me browsing and makes me wait 30 seconds for it to update after clicking the "restart firefox and update" button. very frustrating.

Bought a new laptop and I had my old Dell laptop transfer all my data to my new HP. My email account went thru fine. But for some unknown reason, I couldn't get my Firefox browser transferred, and I NEED to get my saved passwords from the Firefox Master Password manager.

I think I made a big mistake after data was transferred and I started setting up the HP -- (feel like I got 'tricked' into using Microsoft Edge browser) and didn't know how to get Firefox browser so could get my passwords. So unfortunately, I ended up clicking Download Firefox browser and it was a brand new browser like I was a new first-time user as it was 'blank'....like I would have to start completely over. I have been a long-time Mozilla Firefox browser user. I have been desperately and frustratingly trying to retrieve my Original Firefox Browser that has ALL my info that was so handy and easy to use.

PLEASE EMAIL ME AT:: [edited email from community support forum] I do Not have a mobile phone Thanks for helping me retrieve my Mozilla Firefox Browser

I received a Mozilla Firefox (64) update notice going for version 132. When it didn't complete, I checked that my version is Firefox ESR115 (115.17.0), which operates with Windows 7-8.1. I have Windows 10, which matches with your version 132. So my question is how do I change/update my Firefox over to match up with Windows 10 and the Version 132 update?

Hi. Like in topic, I have problem with installing addons. The bar keeps instaling over and over and nothing happens. I have notticed this when trying instal adblock plus. Please help.

I recently read the article about the root certificate expiration and the updates related to it (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration ). I wanted to understand whether my add-ons will be affected because of this. Types of add-ons which i have 1) Simple searchOverride functionality 2) Simple functionality that communicates with remote APIs to display some data.
