Firefox Community Forum

Every now and then Firefox asks to to shut down the program and reopen it. But when I do that I lose all the open tabs I had before. I also tried the new container tab system but it doesn't work

I try to update Firefox once a month, but every 6 hours I am notified about the release of a new version, so I have to click Cancel. Is it possible to increase this interval (at least to 24 hours) or disable it altogether?

I tried changing settings "app.update.interval" and "app.update.background.interval" but it didn't help.

I have notice for some time the Firefox start have updates almost daily it is not too bad whats that bug me is the matter the updates only start show up the information the availability after you log in any account or web site , never in your Firefox Home. you can stay 1 hour with Firefox open with home screen and no alert of updated show 10 second after you login in on email account or enter in any web site the pop up the availability updated what start became annoying .

Thank you .

Second post trying to figure out what is going on.

I'm getting the notification that I need to update Firefox, so I click the "download" button which takes me to "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?reason=manual-update", I select the "Download Firefox" button and after a few seconds I get a "Secure Connection Failed" message.

Usually I can just open Chrome and download the Firefox installer but today I'm getting an error stating that "download.mozilla.org" is using certificates from a different website.

Is the download site busted, or is this just a me issue?

Hi, firefox deleted my history after an update. The only browsing history i have left is yesterday and today since after the update. My bookmarks and the session i was in were still there.

I only have one profile. i dont have a index.dat file unter C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. Any data recovery tools cannot find one either. about:cache only shows me the history after the update.

I dont know what to do and now i've lost my history of the last about 8 years. Does anyone have an idea?

I've been using Firefox for a while now, and I heard there's a new update available. I'm curious about what new features or improvements have been added in this latest version. Is there a summary of the key changes? Also, are there any significant performance enhancements or security updates that I should be aware of? I want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of the latest capabilities. Any insights would be appreciated! Let's discuss more about this!

How to get the latest Firefox version for Win7? My Firefox shows me that I am using the latest Firefox version which is 115. By I get messages from other websites, that my Firefox is outdated. Google shows me that the newest version of Firefox is 136. Why I am not getting it for my Win7 OS?

I am using the latest Windows which is still not bloatware/ spyware - Windows 7. I think, I am not the only one person in the world who is not going to update Windows 7, to later Win versions, until Microsoft will change it's attitude to the client interests. I would better switch to Linux than to update my Win7 to Win8, Win10, Win11.

Please, make all newest updates accessible for Win7.

Hello.

The problem i am having with several latest versions of firefox just on my desktop version is that it always no matter which search engine i am using it forces the websites to switch to dark mode. i have checked the settings several times and in General , Language and appearance , i have put it in light mode and it didn't help, i have put it in automatic mode and even though my system is in light mode and it's morning it didn't help either i have uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla over and over again and it didn't help either.

Using Firefox without Internet in closed environment.

Could you please disable Update Check with fake notification "Update Available - download now"?

Thank you!

Apparently Windows 11 won't upgrade from v23H2 to 24H2 because the very nice cpu (and system) don't support SSE4.2 or PopCnt instructions. While v23H2 won't get updates after November of 2025, I tend to use operating systems WAY beyond no more updates without problems, and only upgrade when browsers no longer update and support some websites, notably banking and credit card sites, for example.

Any way to get at least a rough idea of when/how long Firefox will continue to update on Windows 11 23H2 so I can plan ahead? Usually it's a year or 2 or more after Microsoft stops updating the OS.

Thanks.

I am using version 88.0 and browser, both outdated and not supported. How do I update to current version and update browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate, please keep it simple. Also, I am alone, not help available. Thank you

I am seeing on a Windows 7 unit that I can update to version 115.19.0esr, but I tried to use the Google search tool to check what that version is all about, and nothing. I have tried various ways on pages of what I think is Mozilla and nothing. Where can I find information about version 115.19.0esr? Or has your browser in my unit been taken over by a malware type situation and I am in danger?

BTW, when I clicked on the "What's New" link I saw nothing about that "New" version I am being asked to update to. Oh yes, I am constantly seeing that 'Please Update' window, too.

So if this is a true version from your company/orghanization, where is the information about it?

Just in case you wish to know, I do have about ten screenshots of all that I have been running into as I have tried to find information about 115.19.0esr. And if you are going to inform me that you don't support Windows 7 so you aren't showing any information about an update your browser keeps asking me to update to, I am going to send a letter to some regulator and explain that somebody is not doing there job properly. If you keep nagging me to update, then you should be informing as to why!
