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.

Hello, Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Can someone please tell me very briefly the steps to switch from the FF 128.8 ESR version to the latest supported regular version, which I believe is FF 136. From my research, it appears that you can download the regular version and go to about:profiles to switch your profile back to your original one used w the ESR version. Please list the very simple steps (1,2,3 etc) to switch from ESR to regular version for a non techie.

My background, I have an older MacBook Pro mid 2015, which had 10.11 installed (El Capitan) and recently took the plunge & updated to Mac OS Monterey (12.7.6), which was the highest allowed for this older MacBook. The new OS is awesome & fixed so many websites that were no longer working.

Firefox automatically moved me to the ESR version at some point with my older Mac 10.11 OS. I believe my latest supported version was 78.15 ESR. When I recently updated my MacBook OS to Monterey 12.7.6, Firefox updated automatically to 128.8 ESR.

Now, many websites recently seem to be broken (gmail, yahoo calendar, duckduckgo, & others), so moving from ESR to the most recent regular version seems like the best solution (I believe FF 136 is highest supported by Mac OS 12.7.6). Please list the very simple switch steps or point me to an article. Thanks very very much.

clicked on small info page website icon for a snooker club and linked me to Mcafee (allegedly) whereupon lots of alerts about malicious software and viruses invading my laptop. As Defender shows everything clear I assume this is a scam. The link address is shown below as a screenshot of 'new notifications'. I uninstalled Firefox and refreshed everything. I use DuckDuckGo as search engine. Operating System is Windows 10. Any assistance to prevent these -virus alert 'notifications' popping up would be appreciated.

so it shows somekind of sound horn icon on every new tab for some reason now, and when i start to select a tab i want, the icon dissapears and then even moves/resizes the next tab, so i dont even know where to click anymore, plus i might even press the X on the next tab or smth, so it is really confusing and annoying...

Is anyone else having issues with some pages refusing to load over the last few days. My Gmail account and my Bank of America page became intermittent over the last few days and now simply refuse to load. Both readily load on my Android phone and also load on the computer in question with Microsoft Edge. Has there been an update I missed or any other issue with such pages suddenly becoming incompatible with Firefox?
