in some linux (arch 32 bit) I have problem executing firefox, Is there a version for CPU without request from SSE3 Flag?

thanks

I noticed when I went to check for updates the Fire Fox Browser is, Windows MSIX Package Mozilla, MSIX 1.0 143.0.1 (64 bit). What is this and why? Do I need to uninstall this version of Fire Fox and reinstall a new one? If so, how do I do that without loosing all my data. Thanks for your help!

I have downoloaed Firefox offline installer (a .xz file) from here:

https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/139.0b9/linux-x86_64/en-GB/

I have also downloaded a .asc file, presumably a pgp signature.

Now both files are saved locally in my computer.

Assuming Linux latest release, how do I verify the contents of the offline installer file (.xz) from the Linux Terminal? I have install gpg tools. And commands like ```gpg``` are available.

What I did so far:

 gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint firefox-139.0b9.tar.xz.asc

with this output:

 gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Do you really want us to verify the contents of the installers you provide? A sha256 sum would be great, though not as secure, for when the GPG predictably fails for the ordinary user due to its huge and useless complexity and bureaucracy.

Hello Firefox team,

I downloaded firefox-142.0.tar.xz and copied the necessary files to the appropriate directories. Unfortunately, I am missing the 24x24 and 256x256 icons. Could you please add these resources?

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this.

Best regards Chris

Just bought a Chromebook and was surprised to find that only the phone version of Firefox is available for use on Chrome laptops. Any timeline for a laptop version of Firefox for Chrome?

I think when Mozilla was formed, it received all the assets of the former Netscape Communications corp, yes?

I tinker with some VMs running vintage OSes, including DOS+Win 3.1, and Linux distro releases from the 90's and early 2000's. I'd like to, for example install Netscape 1.x or 2.x on Win 3.1 and Debian Hamm 2.0.

I am wondering if Mozilla has a download archive somewhere with historic releases like Netscape 1.x through 4.x for all platform for which builds were originally released?

Created Gmail account for gmail.com.

Where my name or initial should appear, it says "Finish setup"

I have checked circles that I want, but it still says "Finish setup."

What can I do?
