how get rid of win 10 support end remminder that has only started appearing since last update. if it is not removed i will take firefox to court. this pc supposedly does not support win 11 and i would never consider installing win 11 on any pc. i am not in a position to buy a new pc and i would not use win 11 anyway. you are clealy in cahoots with microsoft who are robbing bastards. i am contemplating going over to ubuntu. microsoft have clealy [expletive] themselves. typical american logic grab as much money as you can. if i cannot get rid of this reminder that has suddenly started appearing accross top of window. i will look for a different browser to use.

Every eMail I get is now being marked as read when I move it to trash, including Spam, even if it is not read. I do not want this behavior. I did not change any settings. Thunderbird started doing this automatically, several days ago. I want everything that is unread to remain unread, ESPECIALLY Spam. I asked this question 8 months ago, but I have received no answers or support.

My in house security team, recently suggested that Firefox be marked for automatic updates. I did so reluctantly and within three weeks, my feelings were confirmed. I logged in and hit the firefox button. Not found. OK, where did they move it? Program Files. OK. I opened Firefox. No configuration, no passwords, and no bookmarks.

The help to restore previous bookmarks does not work, presumably because the file was deleted with everything else in Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox.

You should not force an update that will cause the user to lose work -- never, ever.

If you're going to move the installation directory, the user should get a chance to backup first. I did not get that chance and I've lost work. Further, I've lost confidence in your product. I can no longer recommend Firefox to others as I've done for decades.

This is not a good day for you and your product.

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"
