You guys keep hijacking my browser and stopping all my work on a near weekly basis. Shutting down my ability to work on projects and stopping my browser from functioning in the middle of use. I can't even pay bills without you guys interrupting my browser with your bullcrap.

This is unacceptable. I've gone through great lengths trying to stop you from hijacking my browser. I installed a policy generator and followed the instructions to put a policy in. I uninstalled Firefox's background updater tool. I disabled automatic updates in the settings to the best of my ability.

I've gone through everything I can think of trying to stop your forced updates. Its unethical what Mozilla is doing to its users. I even tried to lock policies with admin only authorizations but firefox couldn't read the file anymore when I did that. I did confirm today that the policy file was still working, when Firefox ignored it and shut down my browser till I restarted it. I confirmed that Firefox is blatently ignoring policies.

I just checked and Background Maintnence was installed again when I didn't want it. You're now installing software against my will too? What the hell is going on.

I am on Mac Mojave 10.14.6 using Firefox 115.36 Oesr on esr update channel for many years. Unable to access Billpay due to message saying outdated browser yet Firefox says Firefox is up to date on the drop down box for Firefox. Up until tonight I had the ability to select option of "Continue with outdated browser" but did not have that option today. Should I contact Billpay as well as you?

Exporting Firefox browser info to new laptop - especially saved passwords

Bought a new laptop and I had my old Dell laptop transfer all my data to my new HP. My email account went thru fine. But for some unknown reason, I couldn't get my Firefox browser transferred, and I NEED to get my saved passwords from the Firefox Master Password manager.

I think I made a big mistake after data was transferred and I started setting up the HP -- (feel like I got 'tricked' into using Microsoft Edge browser) and didn't know how to get Firefox browser so could get my passwords. So unfortunately, I ended up clicking Download Firefox browser and it was a brand new browser like I was a new first-time user as it was 'blank'....like I would have to start completely over. I have been a long-time Mozilla Firefox browser user. I have been desperately and frustratingly trying to retrieve my Original Firefox Browser that has ALL my info that was so handy and easy to use.
