Firefox Community Forum

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

If you select No to the UAC prompt when updating Firefox via Installer, it will install Firefox to "AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox" without telling you, instead of overwriting the copy in Program Files or erroring out. Additionally it will create a new Profile and set this new Profile as the Default Profile without telling you. Lastly, it'll remove an existing Pinned shortcut on the Taskbar.

So you've now got 2 copies of Firefox installed, one of which you're not told anything about and an additional Firefox Profile with no indication that this happened nor any instructions on how to undo this nor how to change the default Profile.

What is the latest update? I have 2 Macintosh computers with the same lateste version of Sequoia (15.2) but different versions of Firefox (135.0b7 on MacMiniM2 and 134.0.2 on MacBookAir M2). Firefox settings set to automatic update but MacMini shows "Failed to Update" in About Firefox.

This morning, 21-January-2025 at 8:45:59 AM my Firefox S/W was updated with version 134.0.2 (20250120135430). When I mouse clicked on the bookmark icon in the toolbar the list of my bookmarks were missing. Checked the "Other Bookmarks" link. The "Other Bookmarks" file only contains about 20% of those I have saved. History is also not being save even though I have that checked in the Firefox Settings.

Tried restoring the bookmarks from a saved file. I can click on the file but can not install it.

This is the second time this has happened. When it happened previously Firefox Update recovered the Bookmarks on January 15, 2025 at 12:45:54 PM version 134.0.1 (20050113121357).

Firefox has been my browser for many years and has performed exceptionally. You were able to my recover the bookmarks last time. Hope you can do it again but if not I do have a copy on a USB drive.

Thank you for what you do and your dedication.

Hi, while looking to remove unused files I found two different versions, version 127.0 dated 12/24 and 134.0.1 dated 01/25, can I safely remove the older version ? thanks for any advice.
