In older versions, there was an option to refuse updates, disable checking and any reminders.

In new versions, you kind of accidentally removed this option. And now a reminder "update update" and a green indicator regularly pop up in the right corner.

I previously deleted all Mozilla servers through the config file, disabled checking for updates. But it still restored the settings and now offers updates again - which irritates me terribly.

I supported Mozilla for many years and considered this browser to be something conservative, it has always been aloof from cumbersome and spyware browsers like Chrome. But your latest actions are disappointing.

The decision to update or not has always been and will be on the shoulders of the user.

I don't care about security policies, patches or bug fixes\Super new features.

With your actions, you only generate unnecessary negativity and lose the most loyal and old users. Today is the day when this browser will no longer be on my devices, you have achieved your goal - congratulations, you have won.

userChrome.css for Title Bar Broken by Latest Update

A friendly hello to whomever is kind enough to read this! Your help is greatly appreciated!

The latest update caused an edit I made to my Profile's userChrome.css file to be nullified. Now there's huge bar where the tabs toolbar used to be, and apparently it's not the title bar, as when I activate the title bar in "Customize Toolbar," this huge gets replaced by the actual toolbar.

I've attached my css code below for inspection. It used to work perfectly, but after the last update (133.0) it's no longer working. What can I do to fix this and have it like I had it prior to the latest update (133.0)?

userChrome.css File: `#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {

 opacity: 0;
 pointer-events: none;

}

  1. main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
   visibility: collapse !important;

}

  1. main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar .titlebar-spacer {
       border-inline-end: none;

}

/* Adding empty space for buttons */

  1. nav-bar {

margin-right:140px; }

/* 15px for dragging whole window by mouse*/

  1. titlebar {

appearance: none !important; height: 15px; }

/* Fix for main menu calling by Alt button */

  1. titlebar > #toolbar-menubar {

margin-top: 10px; }

/* Move minimize/restore/close buttons to empty space */

  1. TabsToolbar > .titlebar-buttonbox-container {

display: block; position: absolute; top: 17px; right: 1px; }

  1. sidebar-box {
 min-width: 250px !important;

}`

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

I am confused about how to update Firefox. I have a 10 year-old Mac which I have never updated (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, is my motto), and I do not know what operating system it has. I am not sure how to continue.

All the best, Patrick Burger

I'm guessing there is a new update to Firefox. Now I am getting messages saying "Web site will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it". Well so far 3 different sites I go to regularly have shown me this, and there is no option or any means I see to get to the feature on that web site that I have been using for at least a year. This morning when I started firefox and it came up with a page I had previously left open, last night, now I can't to the content on that page. I really need to get back to that information. Is there some way I can tell Firefox that I would like to see the information I am now not allowed to see? If not I will try and see if I can go back to the previous version of firefox and figure out how to prevent automatic updating of firefox in the future.

Thank you for considering a new feature. However, this feature of a new sidebar is in the way on my screen. I have it setup for use in a very specific way. Adding a sidebar that I cannot turn off without going into "about:config" is a very bad idea. It made a mess of my space. Yes, even that 1/2 inch of space messed up my spacing. Please ask in the future before making any changes that alter the size and width of my screen space. It's already jammed for work.

I saw an option for donations here. If you ask before making anything that alters the screen layout, I'd be willing to make a donation. But this was just upsetting and has stolen over 20 minutes of my work day. I don't have that kind of time, especially with my colleague out on medical leave for possibly months.

Earlier today I was trying to watch Prime video and I kept getting an error saying that Firefox wasn't updated (which it was). I looked up some solutions, one of which suggested turning the DRM setting off and then back on. That was a mistake, because after that, any time I opened Prime or netflix, the error I got was "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later. "

Then, I looked that up and found out that my Widevine was just not installing. So, I found an alternative way to manually install it, which shows that it is installed in the Add-ons Manager, but I keep getting that error and nothing works. Prior to this my Netflix was still fine and working.

I've tried a few other things including closing firefox, refreshing firefox from the troubleshoot settings, and restarting my computer.

I am out of ideas, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me before I have to jump ship to another browser.

I seem only to have issues installing the Nightly build. I have successfully installed Firefox's main, beta, and dev builds.

I received the following error/message when installing it. (see attached images)

This issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 10 directly from Microsoft's image creation tool. I upgraded to Windows 11 and experienced the same behavior. I used the tool Revo Uninstaller to uninstall previous versions of FF completely and used the tool to clean and purge any leftover registry entries and directories. No errors or entries in Event viewer.

Anybody run into this issue?

Hello,

I'm trying to update to firefox version 133.0. My O.S. is Ubuntu 20.04. I've untarred the tarball to ~/firefox/firefox-133.0/.

If I startup the new firefox, I receive the following error message: "libxul.so, undefined symbol: gdk_window_show_menu".

I also tried firefox version 120.0, except the result was the same.

How can I fix this?

thanks.

I am a survivor of a brain injury and many things do not connect and I am not a tech person. I don't even understand the choices there are for me to ask a question! I cannot use any FAQ's or topics for help because I will not remember them when I need to use them. I need to know how to download to a USB drive; step by step directions/instructions do not help me. Is there a solution? I would like to purchase sewing machine embroidery designs online and then download them to a USB drive to insert into my sewing machine in another building. Microsoft has been no help with this. Any help would be very much appreciated and thank you.
