My version of Firefox is 108.0.1 -- I am running Windows 10 on a machine that Windows says is not capable of running Windows 11
My installation of Firefox resides on my D: drive. It uses quite a bit of space for cache and other things on my C: drive but it starts and runs on my D: drive.Now I am forced to update, but I can't get the installer to recognize an installation on the D: drive and update it. Instead it makes a new installation on my C: drive and I lose my appearance customizations, history and bookmarks.
I have never believed and cannot accept that an application absolutely MUST reside on the C: drive. It's lazy programming (something I used to do for a living). I can't believe Mozilla programmers wrote an installer that insists that Firefox must live there, so what am I missing? How do I tell the installer to find and update my existing application?
Thanks for your help. I feel as if I am missing something that ought to be obvious.
