I am using a windows 10x64bit desktop and I want to find a 32 bit version of Firefox for my laptop which uses Windows 7 x32bit. I have tried the download for customising, ie set it for Win7/8 but the version which is downloaded reflects on the laptop that that version can only be used on a Win 10 computer. Please give me a link where I can find the 32 bit version of Firefox meant for Win 7. THANK YOU.

Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or ESR 115.13+), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features.

For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

If you have questions about the update or need help with the process, this is the place to ask! Whether you’re just starting or you’ve already updated and want to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you.

I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

For some reason, IDM will not work in Firefox/DuckDuckGo. even though it worked a couple of weeks ago. I contacted IDM support who have tried everything they have, but no change.

Here is the issue: 1. I open Firefox (Duck Duck Go is my default) (132.0.2 (64-bit) 2. I type "vintage sci fi movies" 3. Click on "videos" 4. Pick any movie (example: The Phantom Planet (black and white but this does not matter) 5. In the Choose How you Watch, I click the left icon - Watch Here, and not Watch on YouTube; also click Remember my choice 6. The movie starts but there is no IDM dialogue 7. If I then click Watch on YouTube inside the movie, it switches to YouTube and the movie starts, AND the IDM dialogue pops up.

As I said, this worked in Firefox/DDG a couple of weeks ago.

IDM version is 6.42 Build 23, full (paid for) version Oct 15 2024 The IDM Integration Module in Firefox shows as Version 6.42.22, last updated Oct 28 2024.

Can you assist please.

Hello, Sorry to disturb but its been two days and I am unable to access my Google accounts (work and private) through Firefox in anyway. I have done all the basic fixes I can think of but with no success. I have deleted caches, checked plug ins, rebooted Firefox went through the trouble shooting mode, followed advice in the community forum, tried logging in from Google linked accounts. Spoke to our internal IT support at work but nothing has solved the issue as yet, spoke to Google support.

My assumption is that it has to be the browser as I am able to log into google with another browser but Firefox is my preferred browser and would like to use it again as such.

Please advise.

Thank you Cait

cna you tell me why Down load helper no longer seems to work. when I first open a pge the download icon appears in full colour and then fades to grey and won't recognise you tube videos is this something you can fix

I would like to be able to download YouTube videos.

Is there a Firefox add-on that will allow me to download YouTube videos onto my MacMini?

I tried Video DownloadHelper and YouTube Video Downloader and didn't see any action.

Do I need to setup settings a certain way to make it work?

What are the steps to make it work?

Thank you for your assistance.

The icons on my home page suddenly became significantly reduced in size. Sure, I can tell what they are, and I've increased the text size for their identifiers below the icons. But they are now so small as to be not pleasing to the eye. How can I put them back the way they wuz?

Greetings all, my trusty Firefox stopped working. Error Code PR_Connect_reset_error. Other browsers work fine. I have windows 10 with the latest updates and use Kaspersky Internet Security 21.3.10.391 (m). I have paused Kaspersky, uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 3 times. I have cleared all Firefox cookies and caches a number of times. On my 2nd Firefox reinstallation Firefox worked ok for a couple of times then stopped again with the same error code. Please note that I am not very familiar with computer stuff so any suggestions need baby steps. Many thanks.

Firefox is automatically downloading PDFs even though I've set PDFs to "Ask whether to open or save files", and I choose to open in the browser. My settings are set to: Applications - all are set to always ask or open in Firefox What should Firefox do with other files? I selected: Ask whether to open or save files When I'm opening a PDF I get a popup What should Firefox do with this file and I choose open with Firefox, it still saves to my desktop. What do I do to stop it from downloading?

I did some googling first and it seems to be an on and off issue mozilla has had with years. Anyway, whenever I play a video (be it youtube, twitter, instagram, even gifs on twitter actually) the video will often mess up and become a chaotic jumbled garbled up mess of green with junk artifacts over the video. The audio will play fine. It's like watching a scrambled TV station from a 90s bootleg cablebox, but green.

This issue doesn't exist in any of my other browsers.

I'd love to continue supporting Firefox instead of Chrome, but this is a persistent issue across the entire internet, so it's kinda obvious I need to stop using Firefox until this is patched. Thanks.
