I am using a windows 10x64bit desktop and I want to find a 32 bit version of Firefox for my laptop which uses Windows 7 x32bit. I have tried the download for customising, ie set it for Win7/8 but the version which is downloaded reflects on the laptop that that version can only be used on a Win 10 computer. Please give me a link where I can find the 32 bit version of Firefox meant for Win 7. THANK YOU.

Website no longer accessible - but no problem with that website. Is Mozilla 'blocking' access?

Since doing an update on the Firefox browser, I am unable to access one specific website that had no issues prior. The website that is no longer available to open in Firefox is owned/managed by an organization outside of the USA. After 3 or 4 days of attempting to open this specific website, I launched a Google browser and had no trouble opening the website. I am hoping that Mozilla is not going to the culture of suppressing religious freedoms by deciding which websites can and can not be accessed on that basis.

Hello, I used to have Microsoft Teams as a pinned tab (in fact I think it was my first pinned tab), which I no longer need as I now have the Teams app on my computer. I have tried unpinning the Teams tab but whenever I close & reopen Firefox, it reappears - it doesn't show up initially, but will pop up 5-10 seconds after Firefox starts (my other pinned tabs show up straight away) - so I have to close it each time. Not a big issue I know but kinda annoying - any suggestions/solutions?

Hello,

For the past couple weeks, comments on WSJ articles and opinions have not shown up in Firefox. They show up just fine if I use Edge. I'm running Firefox 128.0.2 on a Windows 10 computer.

I run uBlock origin. I tried disabling it, but that has no effect on the problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The best, simplest way to Back up and transfer Firefox data to a new device

Here's what happened: I had installed Firefox on a different computer using my current profile backup copy/pasted, into

C:\Users\Al\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\s99pq6qr.default

& it worked ok .... but when I signed out & back in days later & launched Firefox on the new computer...

The problem is that it had 2 profiles on the new computer...mine & a generic one ..& that generic one became the starting or DEFAULT profile... obviously without all my data....so I backed out & later deleted that one generic profile so mine would be the only DEFAULT profile used. 

But from then on trying to use my profile on the new computer copy/pasted from my main laptop that I’ve had FF on for10 years...failed .....as it kept using the generic one...& all attempts at fixes to get only my backup profile used didn’t work...so.... & had to do a complete uninstall of Firefox using REVO..as it finds all folders & files hidden around places....but ....after REVO uninstall I found more folders &files of Mozilla & Firefox all around in my C drive...SO..after eliminating everything I could & starting over ...by downloading a new Firefox browser application on the new computer ...but before running the set up files... Now... I want to reinstall Firefox on this different computer ....& make sure that only my backup profile is used!

I was going to try Backup assistant.... But HOW DO I LOCATE & USE/RUN Backup assistant?

When I read this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices

These are the steps you need to follow:

Click the menu PhotonMenuButton button in the top right corner of the screen.
Click Help.
Click Switching to a new device.

BUT...I DON’T WANT TO “Switch to a new device.” I WANT TO KEEP IT AS IT IS ON MY CURRENT DEVICE ....AND...WHILE ADDING IT TO MY NEW COMPUTER TOO (I might be confused at the term 'switch')

Then I thought of using Sync When I read this about Connect additional devices to Sync: To connect another desktop computer or profile, just sign in and let Sync do the rest. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer How do I know if I already had set up Sync on my computer? how to access it

I’m sorry.. but just overwhelmed/confused with too many help articles here...

& on the internet....

Thanks for any help & suggestions!

Hi

OK so I was having some issues with firefox where I had to reinstall it and this did in fact resolve the issues I was having.

Problem I have is this though when I reinstalled it I first backed up my chrome folder which had all my custom CSS to move the tabs to the bottom of the header area and when I then reinstalled FF I then copied the folder back into my profile folder using the More Info under the help menu to make sure I was in fact in the right profile folder.

Problem is the code isn't moving the tabs and I seem to remember some issues with this the last time we had to fix FF that something had changed with the Chrome folders and such.

So what do I need to do to get my tabs back on the bottom again as I hate them up top!

Version: 128.0.3

Thanks!

Is this still the current status or are there any plans to support the old Windows versions for a little longer?

Thanks and regards, Martin
