Hi, How do I install Firefox Lockwise for Windows 10? I visited Firefox Lockwise's website (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/lockwise/) and there's only installations for Android & iOS devices but I only want it installed in Windows 10. How should I go about it?

Waiting for your reply asap, thank you.

Cool Regards, Pallas

Does anybody know where the ID: 308046B0AF4A39CB comes from?

If you use a Windows 10 1909 64 Bit and you can find this in the installs.ini and in the profiles.ini of users, if you have a Firefox ESR 64 Bit in Version 78.10.0 installed. The INI-Files looks like this:

Installs.ini: [308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/8U9skky2.default-esr Locked=1

Profiles.ini: [Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/8U9skky2.default-esr Locked=1

[Profile0] Name=default-esr IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/8U9skky2.default-esr

[General] StartWithLastProfile=0 Version=2

This ID can vary if you have a 32 bit ESR-installation as well and the only place I could find it is in the registry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs] C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox=308046B0AF4A39CB

But also here it differs sometimes.

I need to know where the ID comes from and if I can rely that if this ID is used, I will always address the Firefox ESR 64 Bit no matter which version.

Hello, today I was surprised with a update ver.88 -> 89. It completely changed the look. Few weeks back it was similar with Thunderbird.

I hate this look. I want old look back - how to do this. I tried rollback to 88, but it ask to create new profile - after copying all content of profile it dose not work...

Is there a way to change look of 89 to look exactly like 88 ?

System Elementary OS 5.1 (Ubuntu 18.04) Nvidia 465 driver

Tried with Firefox from Ubuntu repos and Flathub

Problem Since the update, I have this rectangle (see picture) on all websites, even the settings. This makes Firefox unusable.

What I already tried

1. Numbered list item Started Firefox in Troubleshoot-Mode, where everything works normal. Nice.
2. Numbered list item EDIT: I also tried the "Refresh Firefox" option, with no success
3. Numbered list item I purged the Firefox install and removed all configs, addons etc. on disk (removed /usr/lib/mozilla, ~/.mozilla, /etc/firefox). Sadly, the Problem is still there.

So it works in Troubleshoot-Mode with my personalized Firefox version as well as a clean install, but never outside of Troubleshoot-Mode.

Question As a clean Firefox (see above) seems to work as intended, how do I reproduce this behavior outside of Troubleshoot-Mode? What changes between Troubleshoot-Mode and regular mode? Any advice?

Windows 10 changed my default browser to Chrome and will no longer let me choose Firefox as my default browser in Settings. Has this happened to others, and is there a solution?

Dear Firefox community, I do not know why you are not solving your browser-short time memory loss problem! When I download a video / file, the internet is disconnected in the middle, and it takes a while to connect, then the download starts again from 0%! It wastes both my time and the internet. If the power connection is disconnected while downloading again - I don't get any backup of that file when I connect to the internet after the power connection is restored ...! However, other browsers have this advantage. I like Firefox a lot, but this short time memory loss system bothers me a lot. I hope to fix this issue in the next update.

Just run firefox update. Wish I hadn't. The tabs along the top are so hard to read unless they are the current one. Can I cancel this update and go back to old version? If I can't get this corrected I'll have to give up on Firefox and find something else.

I've managed multiple profiles, and used the profile manager for years.

Usually, when I want to update/replace a session from one profile to another, these are the files I transfer.

When I launch the profile, it should open to the same tab as in the previous profile, and the tab count should be the same. That is, until today.

No matter what I try with the new profile, the same old session keeps coming up.

I work with a site from where I can download content only from a pop up window, but when I do click on the download it does not show progress. However, in my regular window(non pop up) when I download any content I see the download progress. Is there a way to enable download progress icon in the pop up window toolbar?

What setting will stop the constant notice "Download the latest version of Firefox." I don't want 20 notices per day. It's like having a child in the backseat "are we there yet?" "are we there yet?" "are we there yet?" How many times do I have to click the "Dismiss" button before this stupid software understands that I do not want updates? I've noticed that this is a common complaint. Stop the bullying by making people choose automatic updates. Many times things get messed up on my computer with updates and it is not worth the aggravation. Candace M.

Installation in German language under W10 Home 64bit. VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found, installation interrupted. Firefox seems to be installed, but totally unresponsive (no files, no websites, not even parameters). Any known measures? Thanks!

Bonjour, Suite à la dernière mise à jour de Firefox, j'ai sans cesse le message d'erreur VCRUNTIME140_1.dll introuvable. Conseil de réinstallation de l'application etc. J'ai beau faire une désinstallation complète et un nettoyage puis une réinstallation, rien n'y fait. J'ai toujours le même message depuis plusieurs jours. Et c'est énervant ! Je suis obligé de naviguer sur Edge et je n'aime pas du tout. Merci de m'aider. Bonne journée. Philippe

I downloaded Firefox 89.0.1 via Microsoft Edge from the regular mozilla.org site.

I was redirected to this site after the download started: https://cdn.stubdownloader.services.mozilla.com/builds/firefox-stub/de/win/[...]/Firefox%20Installer.exe

I was confused when I saw, that the sha256 checksum mismatched with the one in the repository. Also after multiply downloads from the mentioned site, I recognized all installation files had different checksums.

Is this a bug or a malicious firefox download? Or smth else?

Thanks in advance.

Hi...for 3 days I've been unable to download anything from Hulu, Amazon Prime, Kanopy or Hoopla. Instead there's the message repeatedly about Firefox installing components to make it possible to download---anything. "Please try again later." I am not happy.

Hi,

I got a McAfee report on the first machine that I tried to deploy this file.

Firefox Setup 89.0.1.exe contains the GenericRXAA-AA!92712AE6AC5F Trojan. Undetermined clean error, OAS denied access and continued. Detected using Scan engine version 6200.9189 DAT version 10008.0000.

I scanned the file with on VirusTotal and verify the hash. It doesn't bring up anything.

Does someone know anything about this?

Thanks.

Under an "about:profiles" profile, selecting the "Open Directory" button opens my Linux "Document Viewer" with an "Unable…" warning; expected because that's not what Document Viewer is for.

This could be exactly as predicted in my preferences, but I didn't find any means to redirect that button action at a different helper. I expected it to routinely use my default file manager application and this was a surprise. All I could find searching for the issue focuses on URLs which isn't my problem; I can enter (or copy/paste) the displayed path beside that button okay as "file:///…," so I can call that the workaround.

How is this button action set? Is it a simple thing buried somewhere in the settings?
