I downloaded the most recent Firefox update (version 139.0.4) and since then, Firefox has been prompting me to restart to continue using Firefox every day. When I give the go ahead to restart, I get a pop up that says I need to either exit the Firefox client completely, or create a new profile to continue using it because Firefox detects an older version (this is even after updating it manually).

It's made about 5 profiles since the 10th, and they're all still in tact. I clicked my very first one and it very much still works (and even gives me a popup when I open it in a new window that says Firefox is using the latest version). It's been really disruptive to my work flow as it has happened several times in the last two days. I keep checking my settings and it says that I'm updated to the latest version of Firefox, but it continues to kick me out.

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.

If I have to restart my computers when I am in the middle of working because Firefox won't work unless I do, I will find another browser. And yes, I have it set to only update when the computer is not being used, but obviously that does work. Maybe give me the option to set a time to restart?! Like the middle of the night as opposed to the middle of a working day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really???????????

My C hard drive is almost full. How can I get Firefox to run from the D drive? I tried copying the files there but it would not run. Do I need to edit something in the Registry? I'm using (for as long as I can) Win 10 on a Dell desktop. Latest version of Firefox is installed.

Thanks for any assistance.

Firefox says it is "up to date" with 115.24.0esr, but Vanguard still says my browser is not supported. What do I do? I have already manually downloaded ESR 15 as my macbook is using 10.13.6. This is supposed to be good until August 1, 2025.

Today, when I went onto Vanguard, at the top of page it said my browser is not supported. However, Firefox says it is "up to date." It had already been changed to 115.24.… (read more)

Today, when I went onto Vanguard, at the top of page it said my browser is not supported. However, Firefox says it is "up to date." It had already been changed to 115.24.0esr, as my macbook uses 10.13.6 High Sierra. Firefox says I am good and supported until August 1, 2025, but I am still getting the non-support message on the Vanguard site. Who is right?
