I purchased a new MacBook Pro and moved the copy of Firefox V.91.6.1 via a thumb drive from my old iMac to my new MacBook Pro. The application opened, but none of my Profile information was present on the screen.

Later, I installed the ESR version of Firefox on my new MacBook Pro also, it opened as well, but did not display my Profile information either.

How can I obtain all of my established Profile information on my new Laptop computer, and run the current version of Firefox there as well?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I have old 15 year old mac el capitan -10.11.r with outdated firefox 78.15.0esr 64-bit.... in perfect condition. Unfortunately I can not make updates on browser anymore. Online banking websites does not allow me to use this outdated browser. Would you be so kind to make even paid update for me? Or at least let me know what settings I should change under about:config

Waiting to hear from you! [edited email from public]

Running FF115.23.1ESR on a Win7/32 box I use in network maintenance/configuration.

If I log into the modem main page and select from the side-bar menu, FF drops me back to the modem's login screen (Groundhog Day style). This behaviour is repeatable (endlessly) on:

• * another identical modem (same/latest firmware). These have repeatedly been factory reset and firmware reloaded. No change.
• * another Win7 box (/64) on same FF release.

Opera - reluctantly added on those same Win7 boxes - does not have this (mis-)behaviour.

Win10/64 running FF138.0.4 does not have this issue.

Up until about ten weeks back, the (then-current) Win7/X esr release did NOT have this problem.

Yes, I HAVE cleared cache/cookies repeatedly before sessions, to no avail. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [EDIT:] The on-line modem/router emulator can be accessed at https://support.netcommwireless.com/e.../login.html The default un/pswd is admin/admin. Once in the main page, select "Advanced" from the left menu list. This (in the emulator) opens the Advanced page, as it should. In a normal situation here, it simply reverts to the login page.

Q1: Anyone have any experience like this, or any clues/suggestions?

Q2: To continue using these Win7 boxes in that role, am I forced to abandon FF?

I run Win 7 pro 64bit with ESR update no problem but..... my Win 7 32 bit laptop worked flawlessly until today when it 'gave up' I updated to the ESR version, and has become very slow and when going to Sky news it 'seem' to get stuck on 'Read e3.365dm.com', then 'Read assetts.adobedtm.com', is this an Adobe problem?

I just don't see this on the 64bit machine, OK the 32 bit is a wee slower than the 64bit BUT it did work After a while it changes to 'Read cdn.privicy-mgmt.com' (some something like that) I've never seen on the 64 bit.

I got to admit I did let it update, meaning to say I never cleared all the old installation out.... I do have to force a shutdown, it seems all other trash is running ... maybe clogging the RAM.

Can anyone throw any light on this.... yeah, I know it's an old machine BUT it did work prior to the update.

At the present moment Firefox prevents my screen saver from starting when a video is playing in the browser. I would like to completely disable this ability so that Firefox can never interfere with the screen saver.

How can I do this?

How can I transfer all of my data and settings from Mozilla Firefox to the Firefox ESR version. I have Windows 7. I installed the ESR version but all of my bookmarks and settings disappeared. I still have the current version of Mozilla Firefox, which is no longer supported. If I can't easily and quickly incorporate all of my current settings, etc., to the temporary ESR version, and I uninstall the ESR version without that operation automatically uninstalling the current version?

Hi All We are utilising the Firefox ESR 115.21 (current release) on some devices to keep them as risk free as possible while we work on upgrading them. I was wondering if the CVE that our monitoring software is reporting as currently open vulnerabilities against version 115.21 are correct and if so, is there any plan to mitigate these in the upcoming ESR between now and Aug 2025? I would just like to understand so I can document on our end appropriately. Thanks in advance.

Mozilla Firefox ESR (x64 en-US) (ver. 115.21.0) CVE's: CVE Details - Risk - Date of Release CVE-2024-7518 6.5 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-7520 8.8 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-7528 8.8 Aug 7, 2024 CVE-2024-8385 9.8 Sep 4, 2024 CVE-2024-8386 6.1 Sep 4, 2024 CVE-2024-9397 6.1 Oct 2, 2024 CVE-2024-9398 5.3 Oct 2, 2024

Hello, I am experiencing unexpected behaviour with local storage in Firefox Portable ESR 102.1.0 on Windows 11. In particular, the data is not deleted as expected after closing the application, even after clearing the cache in my code, the data persists when I open the application the next time. This behaviour is observed under windows10 but is common under windows11.

I suspect that this issue may be related to:

• Interactions between Firefox Portable's cache management and Windows 11's system-level caching
• Specific behavior of the ESR 102.1.0 version on Windows 11

I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide any insights or solutions.

Hello,

I am currently using an old version of Firefox (56.0.2) for personal use because of the addons that are no longer supported. I understand the security risks involved, but I need this version for a specific project that is critical to me.

If it functions well now, will I encounter any new issues after March 14, 2025? I have disabled all browser updates.

Thank you.

I am trying to download Mozilla firefox esr can you help let me know [edited] @gmail.com or call [edited phone# from public community support forum] my name is Gary Small

In Firefox browser , truncation of string is not working, when typing into the input box at first time truncation is not working, but when focusing out and typing once again it start working , seems its rendering problem which is not working at first time.

I am using following code <style> input.b { white-space: nowrap; width: 50px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; border: 1px solid #000000; </style>

text-overflow: clip (default):

Above code will give the different result in firefox and the the chrome browser.

in chrome it will work at first time , means once user will start the typing into the input box , it will start showing the ellipses once text overflow will happen. but in Firefox it will not work like this, at first time when user will start the typing it will not show ellipses although text exceeds the boundary of input box , but when user focus out from the input box and start once again start typing into the input box ellipses will be shown. this behavior is creating confusion.

Kindly provide the solution for the same I am using 128.5.2 esr firfox version

I know firefox 78 is old but i accidently did the ESR release before backingup bookmarks.

ESR is nor working on MAC 10.10.5

My company relies on another company for our VM using Amazon Linux 2 and installs Firefox ESR from Amazon Linux 2 extras. We have 115.18.0esr and were getting notifications at the top of Firefox saying this would stop working on 14th March. We got 128.7.0esr but it core dumped on loading even in safe mode and when creating a new profile. So downgraded and then found another coworker faced same issue so go him to also downgrade. I then went to recreate my issue get logs and screenshots to provide to my supplier but 128.7.0esr has disappeared from the amazon linux yum repo and the notification about the need to upgrade before 14th March has also gone and gone from co worker machines. I think it was needed for plugin and cert issues but I am not sure. I realise I should reach out to the supplier for them to then contact Amazon and find out what the issues are from their yum repo and see if it is anything to do with their provided vm. But has anyone got any info on the reason to upgrade from 115.18.0esr so I can add to the issue? I know it's EOL but the message was specific and came from Firefox and links which took you to info about why it was needed but it seems weird the notification has disappeared.

I use a 2009 Mac Mini running OS 10.11.6 dedicated for streaming. I was prompted to update Firefox to ESR which I did, replacing the older version of Firefox. The new version will not open.

It was the only browser I had. Can I undo the installation? Or download 78.15.0 somehow to restore the functionality of this Mac?

I want to know whether I can update my current Firefox version with my very old desktop setup. I am using the Firefox browser version 78.15.0esr (64-bit) on my iMac 2007 running OS X El Capitan. This notice came up when opening Firefox: " Your version of Firefox will start to have problems on January 14. A root certificate will expire, causing some preferences and other features to stop working. On March 14, 2025, add-ons and more features will also break." Following the instructions to update, in About Firefox window, it checks for updates and then shows Firefox is up to date. I've interpreted this as there's no version available that I can update to. Is that correct?
