I recently Upgraded to a new Mac. I updated the software to Ventura 13.0.1. Followed the Migration package as suggested by Apple. Process appeared to work well with a few exceptions. One being the subject of this question. I use the buttons on the home screen a lot. A while back I made each button use the website logo. Now I have lost those icons which were replaced by the first initial of the site. can someone help on this?

Upon the last update (v.83), my favourite Flash golf game "World Golf Tour" ceased to work.

The makers of the game have already taken steps to move to a different platform on January 1st ... but the existing Flash version still works perfectly ... until YOU came along!

Your so-called "update" made it impossible to even load World Golf Tour's menu screen - I heard the music, but the graphics were frozen.

I'm no Sherlock - but this problem only occurred when Firefox updated.

It took me ages to downgrade back to v.82.3 - but WGT loaded perfectly when I did it.

Proving that it's YOUR fault! So don't give me this "most problems are caused by other peoples' software" stock answer crap.

I WILL upgrade to the latest version of Firefox on January 1st, not one second before.

Is there any way I can turn off the "Download Firefox Update Reminder" until then?

It's really annoying.

So I've disabled Firefox updates because of the personal preferences. It keeps nagging me every day with the modal to update. How do I disable this annoying useless feature?

Firefox 85.0 on mac os.

I've tried searching "about:config" for all preferences that contain "update" and look like timers and changed the timestamps to something in the far future. Still no dice, the update dialog keeps appearing every day like clockwork.

The last fully compatible version I could use was 78.6.1 ESR. I know I need a new profile to go backwards but I can't find the specific file. I can see the version I would like in a directory but don't know how to download/install it. Thank you all:)

Have 2011 Mac which won't support newer OS updates.

updated Firefox and lost everything, I can get over no bookmarks but what I don't understand is the distortion of the screen, big green blocks and changing letters from letters to blocked out squares making my email look like it has been redacted. How can I fix my Firefox installation to stabilize the font. I tried reinstalling and updated the advanced settings but I don't think that is the issue, it almost seems like a virus.

This particular site (donjon.bin.sh) and others like it have a feature that generates a slightly different image than the one generated by its randomizer, in this case a D&D map for the players that doesn't have the same info as the one for the DM. There is no online version of the player map that can be viewed, it can only be downloaded via the "Player's Map" button (pictured). When I click the button, the pictured dialog box opens up, but no matter what settings I input in the dialog, the "OK" button remains unclickable. There does not seem to be another way for me to download this image within Firefox, since there is not a rendered image on the page for me to right click -> save.

Firefox bugged me for weeks to "upgrade to the new release". Then Firefox got wonky so I thought, OK, cant be tooo bad... Instead of just upgrading to a new release, it started me back to 1998 when I converted from NETSCAPE to FIREFOX 1.0. It blew away the last Previously 22 years and made me start EVERYTHING from scratch.

IF I remember correctly FIREFOX used to leave your PROFILE, CONFIG in place and just update the "code". BUT this time, it wiped or hide all my BOOKMARKS, ADD-ONS... I thought I could find my old PROFILE but could not.

Can someone help me get BACK TO ALL MY "STUFF" LIKE BOOKMARKS, ETC? I really USED to like the ADD-ON ONE TAB until now as it "says" EXPORT AND IMPORT but all those URL'S just disappeared and ONE TAB does not bother to tell us WHERE they store them on my PC.

I "thought" IMPORT meant "bring them back" but not to "ONE TAB". My dilemma now is, I really dislike Chrome, Edge.. now I dislike FIREFOX too.

I am not new to Mozilla or Firefox as my first version was 1.0 in ~ 1998. I rarely use the current version of Firefox as; it never works 'out of the box', one has to learn to use the 'new features' by trial and error as there are no instructions of the 'changes'..... Being BUGGED for weeks every second to "upgrade", they wore me down. I tried to install rel 87.0. I got a message warning that using an older release would be disastrous and the two options was “EXIT or CREATE A NEW PROFILE". I choose EXIT. IT REFUSED TO CONINUED. It only accepted "NEW PROFILE". After 87.0 came up, EVERYING WAS GONE, BOOKMARKS, HISTORY, ADD-ONS....and an hour later trying to customize the toolbars.... AND features like the old "+" TO ADD A NEW TAB.... IT REALLY "GOT MY 'GOAT'. [A NICER FORM OF HOW I FELT ABOUT MOZELLA/FIREFOX PERSONNEL] and rel 87.0 There are NO actual instructions on how to go to your old profile which MIGHT let you see, restore all the crap a NEW PROFILE LOST. Now I am blank and lost all the time I spent trying to customize 87.0 hours ago. AM I THE ONLY ONE FRUSTRATED WITH "MOZELLA" And its "personnel"?

ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO RECOVER ALL MY "HISTORY" I LOST WITH THIS 87.0 FIASCO? Or am I SCREWED.

I want to install Firefox on a new Windows 10 PC which has an SSD for its C: drive and an HDD for its D: storage drive. I would like to minimize SSD usage if possible and know that the FF profile can be moved to the D: drive.

I did quite a bit of searching & some people have a lot of SSD activity & say to move a cache folder or the AppData/Roaming folder. Other people don't seem to have a problem.

Is there a recommended configuration in order to minimize SSD wear?

Thanks.
