I just installed an update when prompted by Firefox. Now I can't log into Hotmail.

FF 129.0.2 x64. The update restarted FF. Everything else seems to work OK. But when I go to Hotmail.com, at first it displays my Hotmail inbox - which is odd; all other webpages requiring a login were logged out when I installed the update, requiring me to log in again - but then it switches to an error:

Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later.

The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again.

The same Hotmail account is still logged in and functioning on Chrome. This is why I think it's a FF-specific problem.

I just updated my iMac from Mojave to Catalina 10.15.7. I thought Firefox would provide an update to convert the esr version to the standard Firefox browser since I am no longer using Mojave, but the next update is 115.15.0esr. Is that correct? My understanding is that the esr updates are just for computers using older operating systems through Mojave. I did not update to 115.15.0esr since I am not sure if that is the right version for Catalina. Any information and assistance you can provide me is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will end in September with the end of the ESR 115 branch. Corresponding support article

Is this still the current status or are there any plans to support the old Windows versions for a little longer?

Thanks and regards, Martin

I've noticed that after a few months Firefox ESR will go from being one specific version to two different version tracks. Eventually the older track is removed and the newer one is continued until it then splits. Can someone tell me why this happens and is there an easy way to swap over to the current track? I've included an attachment of what i'm talking about.

I'm just getting started with Windows 11 on a new computer. What happened to cause this?

Firefox update and permissions errors

The update which was released recently, 130.0 (64-bit) is causing issues across my company. Those who've installed it via the Microsoft Store or had an admin manually install it are unable to launch Firefox, with an "application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022) pop up that appears several times when it is closed and Firefox never opens.

Under About Firefox, I see an error that it is "unable to check for update due to an internal error".


I've been able to get Firefox to install by completely removing it and installing with the EXE as an admin. However when I do I am unable to restore my user's Bookmarks from the JSON file as regardless where that file is, Firefox claims it does not have permission to access the file. The same occurs if attempting to upload a file, Firefox again claims a permissions error. Finally if you download a file, you cannot launch it from the Firefox toolbar, again because of permissions.

The files are in folders that all users have access to, I have confirmed that the user account, SYSTEM and Authenticated Users all have access to the folders the files reside in. I would upload screenshots, but as mentioned Firefox doesn't have permission to do so.

Thank you, Jeremy Hellstrom

Hi, as the title say, I would like to find a way, to trigger the Update the same way by command line as if it would be triggered by the automatic mechanism or the user in "about Firefox".

The reason is, that we´ve recently mass activated automatic updates and I would like to test on 100+ machines without relying on users action.

Thanks
