Mac Mini (late2012) OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 refusing to work with firefox

Downloaded the latest version of firefox. When it was opened and it went through the verification process then to move firefox folder into applications for use we received a notice where the firefox logo had a circle with a line through it (indicating to us that is would not function) then an arrow pointing to the application folder. The firefox version downloaded and opened Firefox 91.8 Oesr.dmg

Any suggestions as to what safe version I could use on a mac mini late2012 operating OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Which I am told is the latest version that can be used on this machine with the following characteristics: processor 2.3 GHzIntel Corei7 memory 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Start up disk el capitan 10.11.4 this is strange since 4 lines above it states OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536MB

Your suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

After the latest time Firefox forcibly closed all windows and updated itself, twitter, crunchyroll and gmail don't work. They work fine on Google Chrome, but not on Firefox. I just can't sign in/Log in to these sites.

I had two Firefox windows open, one private and one not, and a lot of tabs open on both, and while I was browsing the internet on the non-private tab, suddenly both of them close. I reopen Firefox (or it reopens itself, I don't quite remember) and it shows me a message telling me about how I can save articles on pocket to read them later instead of keeping lots of tabs open. I restore my session, and most (but, bizarrely, not all) of my tabs come back, but then, I try to log into gmail, and I never get past the stage where it asks me my email adress, I keep re-entering my email and clicking on the next button and it just loads the same page again, and when I try to log into crunchyroll it brings me to a page that just keeps loading and stays black without ever being truly loaded, and when I try to log into twitter everything stays black too except with a twitter logo in the center. I can still go to some other sites on Firefox, and I can still go to twitter, gmail, youtube and crunchyroll on Google Chrome, but twitter, gmail, YouTube and Crunchyroll don't seem to work on FireFox and I don't understand why!

Nightly is working really good in my Android Phone. Now I would like to install Nightly in my LinuxMint Desktop. I found a page at https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-firefox-next-beta-or-firefox-quantum-nightly-on-linux-mint/ But cannot install with all those commands. So what is the best way to install Nightly on my LInuxMint? Without all the commands and things I don't understand. I am 82 years old and cannot always do such. Thanks for your help.

EVERY time Firefox does an update, my home page changes, my icons for add-ons are gone, EVERY time. I keep asking this question but the responses are not helpful.

EVERY time Firefox does an update just about everything changes for me, including my homepage, my icons for add ons are gone, now my link to my email is gone, I always wonder if I'm on the correct version or not. It says I am but what happened to all of my settings. I cannot tell you the number of times I've had to find my THEME and since there is no rhyme or reason as to how the themes are categorized it takes me forever to find the one I want. It doesn't seem to matter what settings I have entered because they are changed along with everything else. I have asked this question before and the answers I have received do not work. And another question. I do not like the background in "black" with the titles highlighted in yellow when I am searching. Very difficult for me to read, I've attempted to change that many times but can't seem to figure that out either. Oh, Lord where is Microsoft 7 when I need it? An OS that even I could figure out.

Perhaps finding the glitch in the changes that always take place after an update should be your next update.

I hav many of Arttutor videos that I have paid for earlier and now tI'm trying to move them from Arttutor to Mozilla. Arttutor has shut down and helped me to move their videos to pocket. I saw them when Arttutor was open until March 1, 2022, but now their company has now has closed. I'm told that my list of videos are still in pocket but all I can see are the titles of the videos but no video content under the formerly Arttutor website that does not work anymore. I don't know where to go next. I hope you can please help me with this problem. My MacOS is 12.2.1 Monterey Regards, Nola Aitken

Is there a way to have the old style windows menu bar? Accessing bookmarks was a one click process, with the "new & improved" interface, it's now multiple clicks to open menus and drop downs just to get to the book mark menu. Talk about over complicating the experience that worked fine before. If this is the only way it works, then it's a total fail.

We just bought a new HP computer with Windows 11 and I'm trying to install Firefox. I d/l the file from the Mozilla website, clicked on the file that d/l and the installation begins. The installation progresses until the bar indicates it's over 1/2 way done. Then all of a sudden the screen changes to show a blank tab name and the file area says something about a Google search. What am I supposed to do with this page since I don't know what I'm supposed to search for. I don't see a way to get back to the installation page. I just want to install Firefox so why all this runaround without an installation?

My firefox browser just updated on both of my computers, with this new current update I can NO longer drag and drop attachments(Images) in outlook email that I have with the company I work for. This feature saves me so so much time since I am in graphics and photography and my emails usually have a lot of attachments. So, why did you take this feature away, I use it ALL the time...please let me know what is going on here or if there is a way around this, I can still load attachments by selecting the paperclip option, but it adds 4 to 5 steps...I love the drag and drop option, can you help me because I really like firefox and want to stay with this browser. thank you, Mark

I tried to update firefox not knowing that my very old Mac Book Air with OS X 10.9.5 cannot handle the update. I need to download a Firefox version that is compatible with my old lap top, please. Can you send me a link to the right download? When I attempted the update I "replaced" Firefox on my hard drive and now I can't get to my FireFox account and I had all my stuff there. Please help. Thank you!
