Firefox Community Forum

HOW Many times do i have to put in the same information? I will try again. How do I disable the automatic upgrade feature that is being used? The asshole intelligence being use creates a situation where shortly after implementing Firefox becomes unresponsive and I have to unplug my computer and start over. This is about to the point where i am going to switch especially since those dregs at Yahoo are demanding i diosable my ad blocker9 that ain't going to happen)

So each time this pos browser updates I have to comb through ALL of the setting to see what their stupid brains though was a good idea to change for me? What kind of dirty underhanded BS is this? Mozilla is going to CHANGE my settings, NOT only to AUTO FREAKING OPEN like no one will notice this, now I have to spend time seeing if someone hacked my system. Well turns out, it was permission given I am sure through BS EULA. How is this not against the law?

Support,

After updating Firefox to 159.0, two Firefox windows were opened although only one was open at the time before Firefox was closed during a Windows 11 Update! The first window was expected but the one below at the URL was not:

This has happened before. Please address.

As a public librarian, when I do a monthly update for the public computers I also update Firefox. Every time I do a Firefox update, I have to at minimum open Firefox twice, once to get the "here's a bunch of advertising for a thing you already use!" Out of the way, and then at least another time so I can make sure there isn't another ad page, so I can clear the history. Doing this every time I update Firefox is just a small pain point, but I don't enjoy having to do it a dozen times when I update our computers each month, and this month I had to do it three times because of the number of advertisements.

Hey there, I've installed Firefox and let it create the shortcut in the start menu, which results in a shortcut under `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs` (as expected), but every time I update Firefox via the "Menu > Help and Report > About Firefox" dialog, it creates a shortcut under the current users Roaming folder `C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs`. Deleting the file will only work until the next update. Does anyone know a way to stop that behaviour?

It's not that I don't want the update page/tab - I just want to prevent it from stealing the foreground spot (which should be held by the last tab I had opened before closing the browser, as I have defined in my browser settings).
