Good morning,

When I attempt to download the Firefox 115.16.0esr 32 bit download from the site it will only supply me with the Firefox Setup 128.3.0esr. I have tried several times with the same result. Given my PC is far from thr newest (funding prevents large outlays) I must continue with my older 32bit system but try to keep as current as possible with updates.

Please can you advise as to what is going wrong or where I can download the update I need?

Many thanks in anticipation,

John Andrews

I'm an IT support professional and in our environment we are still running few servers (for multiple reasons) with OS version Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and they have currently Mozilla Firefox ESR (x64 en-US) 115.15.0 installed. I couldn't find any clear answer, hence I've created this ticket - is Mozilla Firefox ESR 115.16.0 supported on this OS ? - usually you are not referring to Microsoft Windows Server in you release notes info - f.ex. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.16.1/system-requirements/ so I need clear answer. Also I cannot download Mozilla Firefox 115.16.1 from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.16.1/releasenotes/ - if I click download it always downloads Mozilla Firefox 128 instead. So please let me know if there is any Mozilla supported version for Microsoft Windows Server 2012. Best Regards, Milosz Wrzalek

I am told that when FireFox closes it is supposed to delete a file called parent.lock in FireFox's Profile Folder. The parent.lock file does not delete when I close FireFox and consequentially it will not allow me to open a new instance of FireFox. If what I say is in fact true, what can I do to fix it? If what I say isn't the case, what can I do to make FireFox open a new instance of FireFox once I close it.

I sure hope I have explained this so it can be understood. When I close FF and then try to open it again, I get a dialog box saying FF is already open and has to close first. Not sure if those are the exact words but I was told that the parent.lock was to be deleted and that isn't happening. What can I do? Thanks.

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 132.0b2 (64-bit) and noticed that the only way to open a new tab is to click on the pancake icon and select new tab. The "+" icon in the tab bar is missing.

I also noticed that there is no way to reload the page (especially doing a hard reload). This is a major issue when making updates to websites and wanting to see those edit. Clicking in the address bar and then on enter will reload the page, but does not do a hard reload, so the cached version of the page is displayed, not the updates.

Earlier today I was trying to watch Prime video and I kept getting an error saying that Firefox wasn't updated (which it was). I looked up some solutions, one of which suggested turning the DRM setting off and then back on. That was a mistake, because after that, any time I opened Prime or netflix, the error I got was "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later. "

Then, I looked that up and found out that my Widevine was just not installing. So, I found an alternative way to manually install it, which shows that it is installed in the Add-ons Manager, but I keep getting that error and nothing works. Prior to this my Netflix was still fine and working.

I've tried a few other things including closing firefox, refreshing firefox from the troubleshoot settings, and restarting my computer.

I am out of ideas, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me before I have to jump ship to another browser.

I have been using the Firefox Color extension for a while with no problems. I noticed that in the last few days, when I restart my computer, the theme resets. Specifically, when I first open Firefox, I very briefly see my saved theme but after just a second it reverts back to the default colors/theme.

When I go to the Firefox Color page, my theme is still saved and once I click on it, it takes effect until I restart the computer.

This only started in the last few days and I know there was a Firefox update (132) as well as a Windows update both in the last week or so.

I'm using Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS build 19045.5011.

Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be causing it?

A friendly hello to whomever is kind enough to read this! Your help is greatly appreciated!

The latest update caused an edit I made to my Profile's userChrome.css file to be nullified. Now there's huge bar where the tabs toolbar used to be, and apparently it's not the title bar, as when I activate the title bar in "Customize Toolbar," this huge gets replaced by the actual toolbar.

I've attached my css code below for inspection. It used to work perfectly, but after the last update (133.0) it's no longer working. What can I do to fix this and have it like I had it prior to the latest update (133.0)?

userChrome.css File: `#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {

 opacity: 0;
 pointer-events: none;

}

  1. main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
   visibility: collapse !important;

}

  1. main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar .titlebar-spacer {
       border-inline-end: none;

}

/* Adding empty space for buttons */

  1. nav-bar {

margin-right:140px; }

/* 15px for dragging whole window by mouse*/

  1. titlebar {

appearance: none !important; height: 15px; }

/* Fix for main menu calling by Alt button */

  1. titlebar > #toolbar-menubar {

margin-top: 10px; }

/* Move minimize/restore/close buttons to empty space */

  1. TabsToolbar > .titlebar-buttonbox-container {

display: block; position: absolute; top: 17px; right: 1px; }

  1. sidebar-box {
 min-width: 250px !important;

}`

I just installed the new Firefox version (131.0.2) and the installation gave me a new desktop lnk (the old one is still on the desktop). The new link (to an .exe file in "C:...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\browser") starts the new version of Firefox in its newborn virgin state, i.e., EVERYTHING from my previous version is missing.

The old link (which points to an identical .exe file in a completely different directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser" with same date stamp as the .exe file mentioned above) when executed results in an error message: Platform version '131.0' is not compatible with

                                                                                              minVersion >= 131.0.2

NOTE: The files in each of these two directories appears to be identical. I really want my old profile back.

HELP!
