I run Win 7 pro 64bit with ESR update no problem but..... my Win 7 32 bit laptop worked flawlessly until today when it 'gave up' I updated to the ESR version, and has become very slow and when going to Sky news it 'seem' to get stuck on 'Read e3.365dm.com', then 'Read assetts.adobedtm.com', is this an Adobe problem?

I just don't see this on the 64bit machine, OK the 32 bit is a wee slower than the 64bit BUT it did work After a while it changes to 'Read cdn.privicy-mgmt.com' (some something like that) I've never seen on the 64 bit.

I got to admit I did let it update, meaning to say I never cleared all the old installation out.... I do have to force a shutdown, it seems all other trash is running ... maybe clogging the RAM.

Can anyone throw any light on this.... yeah, I know it's an old machine BUT it did work prior to the update.

Like many others I've seen here in this forum and some others, I still run Windows 7. I will _NEVER_ buy another Microsoft OS ever, again! And that goes even if I wasn't a senior on a fixed income.

That said, like many others, I would very much appreciate the ESR version of Firefox being extended for the foreseeable future beyond the 6-month extension that you just posted about. I use many of the extensions quite copiously and can't even think of not using them as some are so extremely protective and some are especially utilitarian, at that. A lot of them are not supported on other browsers even IF those browsers have extensions at all. I've used Firefox since Version 2.

Now, in case this is pertinent:

I lock the desktop computer [that I built, myself] down seriously tight with several good quality but free 3rd party soft-wares which overlap protection just enough to keep my computer safe but not so much as to conflict. I've formulated my "cocktail" over the past 30 years since I started with Windows 95 through XP and now 7.

I do NOT do bu$ine$$ of any kind on line. I do not peruse the back alleys of the internet and I'm not interested in the Black Web. I don't even use on board e-mail opting for on-line email that, again, I do not do bu$ine$$ through and don't open anything that comes in that I don't know the party which sent it. (I do find some of the scam spam rather amusing, though. LOL!) In other words, I follow all best practices other than falling into the update trap that MS has created for end users due to their incessant greed.

When or, maybe, just before I can no longer get on the internet at all with Windows 7, I WILL do my best to complete my switchover to Linux for the few on line activities that I enjoy. In the long run, I plan on utilizing a multi-boot configuration as I have software for Windows XP that I find either very useful or very amusing that won't run on 7 or Linux. I also have some software that I like for Windows 7 that won't run on Linux. I'm just not ready to do that now and won't be for quite a while in the future as I continue to learn about and how to administrate my future chosen distro of Linux as I can Windows.

All of this is why I'm asking for your patience and continued support for Firefox ESR on older OSes.

Bonjour, Vidéo downhelper pour lequel je suis abonné ne fonctionne plus depuis les dernières mises jours. Pourriez-vous m'indiquer, s'il vous plait, ce qu'il faut faire pour rétablir sa fonctionnalité (il reste de couleur blanche et n'est plus actif ) ? Merci d'avance Cordialement

There are several windows I get from Publishers Clearing House that get interrupted by Firefox. Something is preventing some kind of advertising/site recommendations. Works OK with Safari. Some option that is causing this, not sure what. I have NO ADBLOCKERS installed. See attached page, Adblocked.png.

Hi All We are utilising the Firefox ESR 115.21 (current release) on some devices to keep them as risk free as possible while we work on upgrading them. I was wondering if the CVE that our monitoring software is reporting as currently open vulnerabilities against version 115.21 are correct and if so, is there any plan to mitigate these in the upcoming ESR between now and Aug 2025? I would just like to understand so I can document on our end appropriately. Thanks in advance.

Mozilla Firefox ESR (x64 en-US) (ver. 115.21.0) CVE's: CVE Details - Risk - Date of Release CVE-2024-7518 6.5 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-7520 8.8 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-7528 8.8 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-8385 9.8 Sep 4, 2024 CVE-2024-8386 6.1 Sep 4, 2024 CVE-2024-9397 6.1 Oct 2, 2024 CVE-2024-9398 5.3 Oct 2, 2024

What do these question marks mean? Do they indicate tentatively planned releases?

Bottom line: will there be 115.22 through 115.24?

Hello fellow foxes,

I really need to use Firefox version 52ESR.MSI as I need to push it through Active Directory.

I have tried downloading the version from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.0.1esr/ ,however there is no MSI version that I can see.

I also tried downloading from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/desktop-esr/win64-msi/en-US/ but the last version is 115.

I also tried third party sites like oldversion.com but I couldn't find it.

Is there anyway I can get this version of firefox? It's really important to me.

Thanks in advance

I am trying to download Mozilla firefox esr can you help let me know [edited] @gmail.com or call [edited phone# from public community support forum] my name is Gary Small

New update to Zen browser this morning, indicated that Roboform extension needed to be updated. Uninstalled,re-installed Roboform extension. Zen browser does not seem to use the the extension - no offer to fill passwords, etc.

Can I revert to previous version of the browser?

The other day, several of my extensions were automatically uninstalled from a bunch of my devices. After going through and reinstalling most of them, the reinstalled extensions don't seem to be propagating to other devices via sync. Newly installed extensions that I didn't have installed before seem to propagate fine. Is there some way I can fix the extension data on my account so that they start syncing properly again?

Hi,

I am the developer of the Dictionary Anywhere extension which is a Firefox recommended extension. Recently my extension stopped performing up to its expectations due to backend changes in public API that it uses to find meaning of the words.

However, I am unable to modify the code of extension to fix the issue as I am not able to login to my account due to it being behind MFA, and I have lost access to the phone which contains those MFA codes.

Can something be done here, to allow me to update the extension to rectify the issue that 50k users who use this extension regularly are facing? For example, can the extension be transferred to another account through which it can be updated, lots of users are suffering as the extension is not working. I have access to the source code of the extension .

Thanks and Regards

I received two good responses but the projected end dates of August or September concern me. What happens after that? Is there any solid plan now to extend that or another version 115? Or should I go to another browser - then the issue would involve transfer of the bookmarks from Firefox to a different one and how long will it work with Windows 7? I need to continue using 7 at least for the next year or two. Suggestions?

I am running Windows 11, with Firefox 97.0 ("Up To Date"), but the installer for the new 115 ESR does not work.

The installer (Firefox Setup 115.18.0.esr.exe) seems to think that my system is running Windows 7 and does not proceed.

My company relies on another company for our VM using Amazon Linux 2 and installs Firefox ESR from Amazon Linux 2 extras. We have 115.18.0esr and were getting notifications at the top of Firefox saying this would stop working on 14th March. We got 128.7.0esr but it core dumped on loading even in safe mode and when creating a new profile. So downgraded and then found another coworker faced same issue so go him to also downgrade. I then went to recreate my issue get logs and screenshots to provide to my supplier but 128.7.0esr has disappeared from the amazon linux yum repo and the notification about the need to upgrade before 14th March has also gone and gone from co worker machines. I think it was needed for plugin and cert issues but I am not sure. I realise I should reach out to the supplier for them to then contact Amazon and find out what the issues are from their yum repo and see if it is anything to do with their provided vm. But has anyone got any info on the reason to upgrade from 115.18.0esr so I can add to the issue? I know it's EOL but the message was specific and came from Firefox and links which took you to info about why it was needed but it seems weird the notification has disappeared.
