In my Win 10 PC, Firefox has been set to update automatically as it is recommended.

136.0.2 (64-bit) is the most recent one that updated automatically.

Now all my extensions have been wiped out, my workspace changed.

That is such a breach of integrity, and a lack of respect for the user, and his carefully set up work environment, when an Auto-Update just molests my work environment. And then I have to take out hours from my busy routines, to devote to restoring everything to how it was.

There is no rollback feature for Updates, esp when Updates do the havoc they do.

There is no proper Session Management, and a standard protocol for saving, aggregating sessions across different installs, rollbacks, etc, and having the most updated, and complete one, where the onus is on the user not losing data.

Now I have to go hunt around for the past profiles, and name the present one as old, and hope that Firefox functions with integrity, and completeness to restore my whole work environment from the last profile. I'll of course be losing whatever work I happened to do in the new profile now. One never knows how complete these profiles are to reconstruct things exactly the way they were.

Strange. I always believe that stability, and integrity, and a dedication towards that on behalf of the user would be the primary goal. Now it's all about chasing something else, some bells and whistles, and faster performances, and throwing stability, and data integrity under the bus.

A new issue with Firefox. I download updates myself, not automatically. This morning after updating, I clicked to restart Firefox, and it restarts, but still shows that it needs to restart. Even after multiple attempts. How to resolve? Thanks

Greetings to y’all I am setting up a Microsoft Surface pro 7. Several days ago I installed windows 11 Pro on the machine.

I have tried to review previously loaded Extensions. For each of the Extensions There is a message:

"Can’t read and change data on this site"- listed after each extension. What is this about? How do I access settings for extensions?

I'd like to install the latest version of Firefox without overwriting or disabling my existing installed version.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

After updating firefox (to version 113.0.2 (64-bit)), I discovered that the add-on "Privacy Badger" I was using was off. I tried to get anew the add-on but received the above message.

Any help would be very welcome.

The Firefox stable desktop taskbar shortcut issue unresolved for many months. Every time clicking on the Firefox taskbar/start shortcut is non responsive or it gives the error class not registered. Firefox nighly/developer do not have this issue. Fujitsu laptop, Widows 11 lates upgrades. Please fix.

Dear Firefox Support, My issue is with the browser I use 136.0.1 (64-bit). Select Help menu (Restart to update Firefox) I've preformed this task several times so far and I keep getting the something over as I click on Help menu. I restart the browser again however it is the same thing "Restart" again. What is my next step here?

Thank you, Dave 18 March 2025

Recently clicked to update to the next version of Firefox. Then I get the message "Restart to Update Firefox." I restart Firefox but the message is still there when I click Help > About Firefox. It would appear that the update did not happen for some reason. Do I need to re-install Firefox to get around this problem?

I update my browser often but still seem to get tons of update alerts. Do you update that often? I wonder if these alerts are a scam so when i get them I go to the Mozilla site and download the latest version. Why don't you just have an "update" button or something is it really necessary to download the whole thing every, what seems like, week?

I had a Windows update problem that forced me into a clean install yesterday. When I reinstalled Firefox, I forgot to have it put an icon for private browsing on the taskbar during the setup. Is there a way to do this without uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? I can't find the option on the app menu.

I need to install the Foxyproxy and the Wappalyzer, I do trust them but i don't understand why is Firefox disabling them while I have been using them for a while now WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM...

You don't even give a clear solution to why and how I can resolve this case on time so i can keep using the browser....issues like these make us users switch to more reliable,easy,supportive and less complex browsers.
