Firefox Community Forum

I had a version of Firefox after March 20 that was BAD due to a scam that I got and did not recognize it. After the 20th my email was used to send a bad change to Firefox and I can't get anything to work. I needed to change my email password to halt the persons that were being sent the scam. I need to a have a version of Firefox to install to remove the bad dlls from the scammer which were on the Firefox that was comprimised. My old Firefox (before March 20th 2026) was working fine Can you help?

I am trying to get Firefox back as a browser on my computer. I am not familiar with everything that I have to do, I need help. I had it for a long time but somehow I lost it.

Dell Optiplex desktop, Linux Mint Mate 22 OS. Currently updated to FF 150.0. For several months, this machine has failed to load bookmarks, approximately half the time. Banner message displayed advising user to load bookmarks. Closing and restarting FF usually (but not always) corrects this. Also, last month or so, bootup displays single window, even if there were two or more on previous shutdown. In settings menu, FF is set to re-open previous windows and tabs. Also on boot, this machine takes much longer to open FF than an older Dell Inspiron laptop, which is otherwise slower than this desktop. When FF icon selected in desktop, just before it opens, the tray flashes the missing extra window but it is not shown or available in the tray and does not load.

The two machines are set up identically, both in FF settings and with the same add-ons- Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin. Just looked in Synaptic of both machines and the laptop shows two FF items as installed- FF 150.0 +linuxn The FF Web Browser and FF-en locale English language pack. The desktop Synaptic shows no FF items installed (!). The laptop runs as expected, opening FF with all windows and bookmarks. Both machines received FF 150.0 via update manager.

Previously when installing Firefox, it used to create desktop shortcut for All users: C:\Users\Public\Desktop

Now it creates in user profile: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop

I think the first option was better for systems that have multiple user profiles.

The VPN was installed in my old Windows 10 Pc; in November all of my system and filesereas transferred to the Windows 11 HP laptop I am now using. The VPN app appears nowhere on my system and I cannot use it. Iwant to get it installed or the subscription cancelled
