Firefox Community Forum

I am running Windows 7 (and will not downgrade to one of the newer versions). Firefox has stopped supporting Windows 7 with version 115, which I am currently running. However, I get a pop-up message each time I launch Firefox asking if I want to download the latest version (which cannot be installed).

Is there some way to stop this annoying message from appearing?

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss Netscape...

Hello there. Ever since the latest update (to 115.0.2), I've been experiences random crashes. It's only happening with these 2 sites: https://www.mapsofworld.com/ and https://www.buongiorno.sk/ (there may be more but I haven't discovered any others as of yet). I open the sites and FF immediately shuts down. And then, after I restart it, there are no crashes listed in the logs (about:crashes). I've tried everything. Cookies, cache, a "refresh", a fresh install and I've also checked my system and HDD for errors but nothing helped. Any idea what I should do? The problem seems to be on your side, not mine

So I was setting up Firefox and accidentally imported data from a different browser than I intended to and I don't know how to remove all the bookmark and auto fill that I had imported. I have tried deleting the Firefox file in window explorer and it didn't work. Is there anyway to completely wipe Firefox clean?

How do I remove pocket from Firefox?

The published solution does not work. When I type "about:config" in the URL, then "pocket," and change the "extensions.pocket.enabled" to "false," the pocket page still shows up after I close a session or a screen asking me to sign in to pocket. I am always closing unnecessary pocket related tabs.

As I remember, one time it worked but only for two days and then the some form of the pocket page showed up again.

Restarting Firefox does not change anything. Please advise.

Whenever I open FireFox it takes quite a while to load for several months now. I found out in task manager that six or seven browser windows are opening at once with varying amounts of sizes. I can manually close all but three of the smallest tab amounts. I have never had to do this before! What can be done to prevent all but the one tab I want from opening at once. Is this a virus, hijack,or malware problem? I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Thanks Gay Felder

Firefox is set to remember history, but every time I close it and re-open it, links in websites that once had purple text is now back to white, so I don't know what link I'm on, Firefox remembers this through history saved, why does it reset back to white text? Does it have something to do with bitdefender or bitdefender VPN? Can anyone else test thie out with firefox and bitdefenders full security on? Firefox is set to save everything by the way. Only started happening after installing bitdefender.

In settings when I am in security I have Firefox as my default search engine. When I go into the search tab it tells me Bing is. There is a drop down box to change it but Firefox is not an option. Help I am also unable to get into my xfinity email so please respond to, [removed email from public] Thx

Hello: I'm on Windows 7 on one of my devices, and using Firefox 115.0.2. When I try to update to 115.0.3 the update fails. I'm directed to download the ESR version

QUESTIONS:

1) Will I lose features, add-ons, extension I now have if I go to the ESR?

2) Will I still be able to sync the Firefox on win7 with Firefox on a windows 10 device?

Thanks ~eliuri

Windows 7 SP1 Firefox 115.0.2

DIRECTLY after 114.0.1 update, I get a CONSTANT UNENDING PROMPT telling me all about firefox , ON EACH AND EVERY SEARCH, I am here to find out how to remove this intentionally annoying, "thing" from MY PC(of course Mozilla couldn't be bothered to tell us they were installing a continuous advertisement for google, and FORCE installing it as search engine). I want this endless advertisement removed, post haste.

I do not know when it happened but I just noticed it today. I have followed all trouble shooting steps; 1. Restart Computer 2. Open in Trouble shooting mode. 3. Uninstall Firefox. 4 Refresh Firefox. Nothing has worked. I took a screen shot and it is attached. When ever I open a new tab this symbol appears for a few seconds and then changes to the icon of what I am opening, G for google, H for HULU etc. I am worried that it is some type of Malware but none can be found on my system.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Windows 7 64 bit all service packages

I have downloaded Firefox 113.0.1 for Windows x64 but the file seems to be corrupt. When I check the installation file with 7Zip Test Archive appeared a Warning Message due to a Checksum error. All others versions of Firefox downloaded can be checked correctly by 7Zip, but this installation file show an error message that I never have received. Is there a problem with the file? Thanks

I received notification from Firefox about my Microsoft 7 support going away and I am very concerned about being exposed to hackers and viruses. Can you tell me how to protect my information through Firefox or if you can see on your side if my data is protected?

Please advise.

the download complete sound is too damn loud, is there a way to disable the alert? i use my computer connected to my tv and so far the only way i have found is to mute the system volume. i am looking for a setting in firefox to change.

I'm using Firefox when logging into getpocket.com & all I have to do is enter my E-mail address and my Pocket Account opens. It will NOT ask me for the password. I have signed out my Firefox Account, my Pocket Account AND tried the "forget about site" on the browsing history option. Pocket still behaves the same.

I messed up. After downloading the latest version an erroer [failed to read config file came up each time I started. So I googled and the common answer was to reinstall. Idiot that I am I did notg back up bookmarks etc and so lost them all. I uised Recuva to retrieve deleted files and found 2 files places.sqlite-wal and places.sqlite.shm Is there any way to put these in the new Mozilla somewhere? I write now and all my research links were in there. Would be great to get them back somehow.
