Need an update for the update. My Mozilla settings say my operating system (Ubuntu 22.04) handles the updates, and it's a deadend. I can only use my browser for one minute before it freezes.

After I upgraded Firefox on my Dell desktop the left side of my keyboard stopped working so. I bought another keyboard when I upgraded again it stopped working. Talk about frustration

Firefox lived on my computer for three days. On May 30th I installed the latest version of Firefox Developer Edition. Today when I launched my browser I saw a page notifying me that my version of Firefox is the latest [152.0b6 (64-bit)]. All installed extensions disappeared, the connected profile was deleted, the .mozilla/firefox directory contained only the newly created profile... No history, no bookmarks... No crash reports...

What happened? Now I'm afraid to sync the browser with my phone, in case it clears all my passwords.

Tried to update Firefox. Got the message: your updates are being managed by your organization. I'm a home user. No organization. What is the problem? Thank you in advance.

Ok so a month ago FF updated on four W11 laptops and now every time since then when you open FF it wants to make changes to your HDD and then tells you it can't download the latest version. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and its the same across all devices. None of the three devices are running any of the same software aside from the OS as they're all dedicated to different purposes, so I know its not something on the devices themselves. We ended up uninstalling it on everything aside from the older W10 desktop because its a constant nuisance. Each time it updates it is successful and there's no failure messages, so it's not like its obviously failing to update, but something certainly broke.

Hi there, Im on a windows 10(ish) and yesterday got this problem after the auto update to firefox 133.0.3 - Update is not working. error window says platform version 133.0.3 is not compatible with minVersion >= 133.0... how can I fix this?

I've seen that there was a similar issue back in October with a previous version. Tried to follow instructions and reinstaled firefox from mozilla. But the problem is still there. Restarted after reinstalling and still getting the same error message. ((( Please help )))

Every time I log on to Firefox, or attempt to use the brozser, I am asked to update Firefox. So I proceed to do the update download; The software refuses to do anything. So I continue with the old release. Apparently, this is a common problem. Yet Firefox staff continues to ignore the situation.

HOW DOES ONE UPDATE THE FIREFOX SOFTWARE?????

can you help? Firefox was updating my machine. As I remember it asked if I wanted to add  ??( I don't know) Android  ????? I didn't think I wanted it so I thought it was over and I stopped. Now I can't get Firefox -- can you help me?

Never seen this before. I installed v143.0.4 on 10/3. Since it was an extended length of time up to now, I went to check (Image 1 & 2)

I still wasn't convinced (Image 3)

Also, I never opt to "Automatically Install Updates". I don't know how that got selected, but even so, it did not work.

Explanation please?

So I know this question has been asked and answered in various scenarios but so far I've not found one matching mine.

Personal PC. I'm on V 131.0.2 since a reinstall last year but only now realised no updates have been done since because of this msg. I've worked through the various fixes others used re policies, but I can't locate any policy files in the various locations suggested; registry editor (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox key (don't have it) & others, about:config (nothing showing on a search), Program Files/Policies (don't have it), C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Distribution folder (don't have it). So I could not find the offending poicy DisableAppUpdate anywhere in locations offered by other posters etc.

Rather than taking forever to pin down the culprit, can I not just manually update to the latest version or will that delete all my settings/extensions etc?? Given how often it's crashing I'm almost tempted down that road except that I like to have my History intact as I often want to find a site I've not bookmarked.

Thanks.
