Mac OS Firefox auto update (and even manual update difficulties)
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:
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.

Hi again,
Just a quick update, the problem seems to be impacting every mac I've used of late.
I'm having to do the steps mentioned above for all of my macs in order to update Firefox manually. Even on my Intel based Mac desktops and laptops as well. One 2019 intel Macbook Pro, running Sonoma (14.6.1), another 2014 Mac Mini running Monterey (12.7.6)
I hope this helps someone out there.
