Long story short (as possible):

Windows 11 Home, Firefox version 135.0, File version 18.5.0.0, Product version 18.05

Opened Firefox first thing as soon as PC was turned on today. Immediately prompted for an update. It's Mozilla/Firefox. I didn't question it. I did the update and it asked me to download a file. "I trust Mozilla. OK". It downloaded a Firefox Installer.exe file. The same as the one I installed back in 2022 when I set up this PC. I noticed it was a duplicate because (1) followed the file name. "Odd, but okay...it's Mozilla/Firefox. I trust it"

Then I tried to use Firefox and no matter what website I tried to go to I got a "Gah. Your tab just crashed" on the page. It had "Restore crashed tabs" options but nothing worked. All led back to "Gah. Your tabs..." Thinking about the same Installer.exe file and its (1), I checked the Firefox update history. Nothing for today. I then opened the Properties of the original 2022 Installer.exe and the one today. All were the same except 1) - the 2022 file is 325KB and the (1) file from today is 364KB, and 2) - under Digital Signatures, the Digest algorithm is "sha1" in the 2022 file and "sha256" in the (2) file from today.

I didn't know this Ask a question/forum was here or I would have inquired here first. Instead I turned to Reddit's Firefox group using my phone before I did anything on my PC. I spec'd out the details of the day and was assured by two people to do a restart of Firefox. So I did. Yup, that seemed to fix the issue. And off I went with the stuff I'd originally had in store for my day. Until I had different/unrelated need to view my Downloads and I see a FireFox Installer(2) that must have crept in when I did the restart. There was no notification/prompt or request to allow. It just showed up and I wouldn't have known about it unless I checked my Downloads folder.

Until someone tells me otherwise, I'm staying off Firefox. Two .exe Installer files downloaded for a simple update? One which I authorized/allowed but the other sneaking in when I restarted Firefox? Not to mention the tabs not loading until I did the restart which if legit needed, Firefox didn't prompt me to do? That doesn't sound like normal Mozilla/Firefox behaviour. None of today's events do.

So...is this fishy like I think it is? Fishy or not, what's the best thing to do? I'm okay with computers but DEFINITELY NOT an expert. Hence me being here and asking what to do. Guidance needed. Help?

I wrote out the OS details and specs of the browser. I think that's all that anyone would need but if I'm wrong, don't hesitate to ask for more.

Thanks folks.

Since no one responded I was able to search some data and contacted a person and they told me what to do and fixed it.. so thanks. I am still not happy how Firefox is working since the last update.

i have to use Windows 7 due to special circumstances and everything was fine till the last automatic update a few days ago. Since then my blog WP will not open and the browser freezes on many sites and will not even fill out, takes forever to access some links.. interestingly the links from Greece and France both work much better than more local ones. I did a full system restore and was able to access some sites as noted but I need to access all my data on EQ and Volcanoes and Solar activity since I post 2x a day and being located with the home office in N CA you know how important this information is to be prepared. So I have been using Windows 7 and Word 3 and doing fine till the last update. I thought doing a restore point to January would fix it but it didn't when my husband passed I lost my computer guru he built computers so he knew about all this stuff. Its been hard to keep this one going. But so far I am able to use my laptop Toshiba for Windows 7 . Thank you, any help will be appreciated. WP is the most important link that I can't access anymore. Just leaves a blank page. The N CA USGS is another one that does not work properly. the laptop is fine since I switched over to Chrome temporarily till I can fix this problem Chrome is working well. But I want Firefox and I understand you do not support Windows less than 8.1 But it was fine till the last update and I was always taught to go back to the last time it worked.

few days ago, i was trying to remove unimportant entries from the browsing history section. i discovered that my delete button wasn't working and no entry was being deleted, not even when i was trying to remove using the mouse right side button. at first, i thought the delete button of the keyboard has become faulty. but i found that it was working fine in other apps or parts of the Windows OS. so i tried again removing the entries but couldn't do it. then i closed the firefox browser and reopened it. to my horror, i found that all entries before November in the firefox history section have just disappeared. nothing is there. i felt very much shocked and sad because there were lots of important entries which i have stored for almost two years. now i don't know how to restore my lost history entries. just because of some errors in the firefox program, i have lost my long saved entries. please suggest me how to restore it.

Where possible I prefer to sign in using a passkey (stored on a USB key). I use a password manager for the rest, and have thus disabled password saving inside Firefox.

However, when password saving is disabled, Firefox will not prompt for using a passkey when inside a login field, this works when I re-enable password saving, but that leads to other annoyances.

Is there a way to enable passkey the passkey option without also enabling the password saving?
