I noticed when I went to check for updates the Fire Fox Browser is, Windows MSIX Package Mozilla, MSIX 1.0 143.0.1 (64 bit). What is this and why? Do I need to uninstall this version of Fire Fox and reinstall a new one? If so, how do I do that without loosing all my data. Thanks for your help!

Hello all!

I've started having an issue in the last few days, with apparently two separate Firefox installs. A few days ago I was greeted by a fresh, blank install of Firefox and had to set everything up and sign in as I usually would on a fresh system install. Today, however, I somehow managed to launch both of them at once (I don't know how, as I just use the UI shortcut). After closing both fully, I can now only start the "old" one via the shortcut.

OS: Bluefin / Fedora 42.20, Gnome 48.6

According to the list of flatpaks, only one is installed. Unfortunately that's roughly where my knowledge of Linux ends, so I can't troubleshoot this further. Help will be apprecciated, as I don't want to roll a die on which of these will start up every time I reboot.

I think when Mozilla was formed, it received all the assets of the former Netscape Communications corp, yes?

I tinker with some VMs running vintage OSes, including DOS+Win 3.1, and Linux distro releases from the 90's and early 2000's. I'd like to, for example install Netscape 1.x or 2.x on Win 3.1 and Debian Hamm 2.0.

I am wondering if Mozilla has a download archive somewhere with historic releases like Netscape 1.x through 4.x for all platform for which builds were originally released?

autoconfig on Firefox msix

I installed the msix package from Microsoft Store. We can't add our autoconfig to the msix version? We don't have access to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Mozilla.Firefox_xxx.x.x.x_x64__n80bbvh6b1yt2\VFS\ProgramFiles\Firefox Package Root so we can't put the needed files there. So were are we supposed to put the autoconfig files? Firefox seems to have added support for the similar situation on linux with flatpak and snap. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1785278 There isn't a way to use autoconfig on Windows if we choose to install Firefox from the store of the OS?
