I used to have a home icon to return to firefox home page; it has disappeared.Any help getting it back would be greatly appreciated.I think I might have gotten it back thru the extension app but don't remember the process. Thanks

I'm having trouble posting here with that error message, and problems uploading images, so forgive me if you have not seen the latest updated post.

You are still on the beta update channel as you can see in the "Help -> About Firefox" screenshots.

You can possibly check about:support for the path of the Firefox binary and profile folder..

Above you mention portable, are you using a portable Firefox version? To update, it's just a matter of extracting the executable and replacing the contents of the portable folder.

What differentiates the "portable"method, that I've been using as my method for years without an incident, up until recent recent Firefox releases? The only thing I do when there's an update is replace the contents of the install folder, the same folder that the profile manager is pointing to, with the contents of the extracted executable,

I just realized the existence of this folder in about:support "Update Folder: C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38\updates\C47CD37E750B0BD0. I tried to delete it. It recreated itself, changed my settins to "Update Autoimatically" and wiped out my entire session.

The contents of it's update-config.json file are the following. Would changing these values to "false" do any good? Or perhaps altering the contents of updates.xml in the same folder

"{"__DEFAULTS__":{"app.update.auto":true,"app.update.background.enabled":true},"app.update.auto":false}"

I do have a "Profile" folder at C:\Users\mr\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. The two entries are from 2019. One is empty, ans these are the contents of the other

Hello, I just got a new macbook air because fluid was spilled on the previous one. The older laptop works but the display is not functioning. So I can't use the migration assistant, which requires responding to screen prompts, which in this case are not visible to me. I also just updated my password. Is there a way to recover this data?

I recently bought a new computer and transferred all the data from my old computer to this new one. My old computer was running ESR, which was transferred to my new computer.

Without downloading a fresh install of Firefox and having to lose everything, is there a way to simply move over to the release channel of firefox? I tried syncing it up with my account but I still lost my history. Fortunately, I still have the ESR version of Firefox on my computer.

I tried to import but Firefox ESR wasn't an option.

The Firefox Linux Systems inappropriately stops to play online videos, the social media videos or display pictures. The system is not manageable by administrators at the public library and is only helped sometimes by government officials. Is there anyway the Library system could be helped to play videos.

I have downloaded (or so I thought) the Firefox 115.13 in order to use Billpay via my bank. After several attempts, my bank keeps saying "Looks like you are using Firefox 78; update to..." Would love any help. Shan

i'm using peppermint 1.0 with Firefox browser 113.0.2. my bank says i need to upgrade to FFox 115 Linux. I can't access accts til i upgrade. i can't find 115 nor does the system auto upgrade like it says using the "about firefox" ... this is as far as i can get. suggestions, anyone? here's a screencap. Gosh, the thought of returning to Windows makes me very uncomfortable. I see lots of folk are having this sort of problem.

I have used Firefox as my preferred web browser for years. Following an update a couple of weeks ago, Firefox no longer starts. Instead I get the following error message:

XUL Runner Error: Platform version '127.0.2 is not compatible with minVersion>=127.0.1 maxVersion<=127.0.1

My OS is Windows 10.

I would be most grateful for any advice on how to regain access to Firefox.

I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

'since the update from Aug 20 to 129.02 cannot open lobstr.co on firefox (after 8 captchas get error). Have no problem opening lobstr on Windows or Google. So this has to do with your last update. What do you suggest?

                                                                                                       Best regards
                                                                                                             Peter
