Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.

Every now and then, Firefox downgrades itself to version 121. In order to change it back, i have to update it to 127.0, and then to 137.0.1. After doing so, a couple hours will pass before tabs stop loading, and i have to close Firefox and open it again, for another error to show saying i was using an older version, and i need to update. this sends it back to version 121. The errors i get, I've attached !! There's also a troubleshoot data thing, not sure how that works though.

An automatic Firefox update has deleted firefox.exe from my Programs(x86) folder so the shortcut no longer works. I also think that my TALKTALK Internet WIfi also has deleted my own Favourites program that I use to get to various online applications. I have tried a new download for Firefox but still do not get a new working Shortcut.

I use Notetab to view HTM files that I have written. In order to open the file directly from Notetab I must know the location of the Firefox executable. I can find updates but no Firefox executable files in the Program Files, Program Files (x86) or ProgramData folders. The information on my version is attached. I also have a copy of Tor installed on the machine. Thanks.

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

Twice now in the past couple of months this has happened to me:

Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not.


EVEN THOUGH in my Firefox settings this is set to no automatic updates.

What is happening?? How do I turn this off! This seems like a virus? Please advise.
