version 105.1, Win 10

I can't find the Firefox Updates section under GENERAL, and I am the only user/owner/admin.

This is the first time I came across this problem, and I've been using Firefox for years.

Can you help solve this?

Almost forgot: First it would not load the bookmarks toolbar, then It failed to show on the screen, even though the Task manager showed it running multiple times -after every attempt I tried.

Went uninstalling and reinstalling, and now it works when I downloaded from Microsoft, and did a REFRESH, losing my data -this function sucks big time, you don't warn clearly enough what'd happen, and reconstruction is a pain, specially as you explain in technical lingo without translation.

Any help is welcomed.

Best regards,

Oscar

Hi Oscar, there's a tiny search box on the Settings page. If you type update in that box, Firefox should filter and show just the relevant part(s).

This image is from my Firefox 98, but it's probably not much different today:

Do you see that?

The 'refresh' should have placed a folder Old Firefox Data on your desktop. You can copy data files from that to your profile. You will have to reinstall extensions and themes.
