hi, I love supporting this independent browser - I know its not perfect but it does a great job of doing most things well.

However, and there is a big but. I can be in the middle of an investigation that requires sharing data to a new tab - on opening the tab I'm blocked from going further as Firefox needs to do an update! This is really infuriating. No update can be SO urgent that you stop me using the browser. This is the Microsoft mentality, and its wrong. Can you please investigate NOT forcing users to update their browser during session.

Matt.

Hi, The question is in the title. I have imported my Outlook data in this 32-bits version (updated to 140.7) . I would like to keep them in a 64-bits version (147). I didn't find the solution. Thank you for helping me. Michael.

Hello, Within the past hour, "Checking for Updates" keeps running. I thought checking "choose to install" would limit the numerous times this happens per day, but it hasn't.

I've been experiencing this for a couple weeks and it's getting worse. I'm not sure what's going on.

I'm running Windows 11 and the last FF Mozilla update was #147.01.

Please advise.

Thank you, Gina

I installed Firefox 147.0 using Firefox Setup 147.0.exe to D:\Programs\Mozilla firefox.

After updating Firefox to 147.0.1 via the Help menu, two Firefox entries appeared in the “Settings” app list.

Why did it become multiple?

Will the number of Firefox entries in the app list keep increasing forever with every future update?

Hello all, I have two HP computers running Win10 home on the ESU program and will be buying new computers in several months with Win11 factory installed. One is an Omen desktop and the other is a Envy laptop. I noticed in my Event Viewer after updating Firefox to 147 that I am now getting three consecutive 10016 DCOM Warnings every time I open Firefox. This has never happened before in all the years I have used Firefox. Now I completely understand that we should just ignore 10016 DCOM https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/event-10016-logged-when-accessing-dcom but I find it strange that all of a sudden it is now happening and only for Firefox and on both computers. I do have the procedure to fix DCOM errors but do not like messing with the registry and permissions even though I have in the past with no problems but there is always that chance that it could and I do not want to risk it. I was wondering if any other users are seeing this in their Event Viewer System Log for Firefox or is this a known or unknown Firefox update problem or what.

Respectfully, Don

I haven't updated Thunderbird since version 52.9.1 because of the interfaces which are painful for me and I don't see much. it still works well but does not support encrypted emails. I would like to install a recent version of TB but how can I make it look like the older, much more configurable versions? Please tell me if this is even possible.

I like the old design better. The new Firefox adjusted for Android thingy is annoying. I want to go back to the Firefox version I used yesterday and everyday before.

Version 146.01 has me discombobulated. no shortcuts to add on anymore. can I have the previous version with my shortcuts?
