Hello everyone!

On 10/3/24 Mozilla wrote in a KB: "Mozilla will provide security updates for Firefox 115 ESR until at least March 2025, when the position will be re-evaluated."

According to "https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware", over 7.5% of Firefox users are currently using Windows 7. Will Mozilla extend the end of support for 115 ESR again or will it end next month?

Thanks and regards, Martin

Updates

Why would I update the browser if when I do it seems to make it easier for advertisers to jam me with ads. I use adblockers for a reason.

OK seems mozilla will continue support for firefox 115.20.0esr on my WIN7 machine, but not my 115.20.0esr on my Ubuntu 24.04lts machine after next month - why? (128esr and 135 are both unstable on my laptop's Ubuntu 24.04.2lts for some reason - constantly crashes, freezes up req. cold boot, or just logs me out - pain in the... even after upgrading 2Gb RAM to 4Gb)

OK seems I can upgrade (don't know why they keep calling it 'update') my Ubunut 24.04lts machine's firefox 115.20.0esr to firefox 128.3.0esr, but not on my WIN7 machine -why?

i.e. why does firefox give preferential treatment to WIN7 for 115esr, and preferential treatment to LINUX for 128esr ... why not both OS's on both "esr's"

...makes me go: hmmmmmm ;-\

Currently on 131.0.3. Started having this issue around the time 131 dropped.

I press Ctrl-shift-O and bookmarks manager won't open. Bookmarks manager opens normally if I use the menu to open it. Keybind won't work in troubleshooting mode so I know it's not an addon, and the hotkey works fine on other computers with Sync enabled so I know it doesn't have to do with my synchronized settings. Also won't open with a fresh profile so I am very hesitant to reset all my settings.

I use this keybind multiple times per browsing session so it has had a major impact on my usage. Not sure what to do. Please help!

I'm going to try a graphics driver update in the hope that helps. This is on Windows btw.

Is there any Add-on that will shoot a scrolling screenshot (full page screenshot)?

For reference, there's an excellent extension on Chrome/Brave called "Go full screen" which has simple but perfect functionality, one-click automation, saves as either .pdf or .png format to your downloads folder.

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.

Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

Firefox is creating a shortcut in the C:\Users\Public\Desktop folder after updating itself.

I've tried to find something similar in Firefox with no luck. Googling the issue just comes up with manually deleting the shortcut in that folder to get rid of it. which of course works i just don't want it to ever appear in the first place.

How can I disable this "feature"?
