Hi David

What happens when you double click on the Firefox icon?

HI Paul Thanks for your reply. I have managed to solve the problem , it was my lack of tec knowledge and the brain worn out due to old age.

No problem at all, glad to hear it is working fine now. Best wishes for the new year.

Recent download of Firefox for my MacBook opened to a new screen with "Profiles"; after I figured out that I could just click on the left (black) one it opened as usual.

After restarting a few days later the "Profile" window did not happen and I only had one option from the menu – Quit

I tried downloading (147.0) again and still only had Firefox appear on the menu with the only option being Quit.

I saw something about a version being rolled out and tried to download that version (140.7.1est) but that did not open either.

One time in the process I got the "profile" screen again, but clicking did not open Firefox either.

I recently upgraded my MacBook Air IOS to Sequoia 15.7.4
