Why hasn't Firefox updated since April 15? (It's currently the 28th). Things are lagging, primarily on You Tube (for the last 4 or more days), and normally updates don't leave as much time in between updates. Anyone know what's going on? Will it ever update or do I need to leave for another browser?

I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

Greetings.

I am using an old Linux Mint version. I got messages that my Firefox needed to be updated.

I finally figured out how to do that and updated it. I started to use it. No problems.

However, the update did not change the default Firefox in the menu or on the taskbar panel below. If I click on them, I get the old version.

So when I restarted the computer, when I clicked on the Firefox shortcut icon in the lower taskbar I got the old version with the tabs that were on it. I had to go back into the Firefox file downloaded for the update in order to open the new version.

So, how do I get a working shortcut icon for the new version and get rid of the old version/icon?

Thanks.

David

I'm using version 135.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11. The latest version on the site is 136.0, but no notification is given, and Help/About doesn't do it or offer the option. I've browsed the web page that discusses an "Update Firefox" section in Settings/General, but no such section exists. Anyone knows what happened??? Tnx, Nir
