I downloaded the Firefox ESR for my High Siera OS, but I still get the message that Firefox is no longer supported, Why??? Just let me know what I need to do so I can use the browser without worry.

I have a MacPro 2012, updated to the max. I'm retired, and by budget does not allow for a new computer.

Thanks. Doina Paraschiv

I'm on an older, unsupported operating system (MacOS 10.14 Mojave) and am currently using Firefox 115.36.0esr which for the most part works fine. But there are increasingly websites that complain about having an outdated/unsupported browser and won't let me log in or whatever. For some sites I've solved the problem by using the Opera browser, but I've grown accustomed to Firefox, so......

There are a couple of options (that I know of) with browsers based on Firefox: Firefox Dynasty which has now become Firefox Momiji and Pale Moon.

I've given Momiji a quick try and function-wise it seems more or less like the regular Firefox, but does anyone know how safe it is to use? Both in regards to whoever is behind it and as a browser in general? I know nothing about Pale Moon. In addition to working with most current websites and be safe it should ideally be compatible with the current (115.36.0esr) version of the normal Firefox so that I can transfer all my open windows, bookmarks, tabs, passwords etc.

Up until version 141, the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit Firefox installers wasn't noteworthy, though it has clearly been slowly increasing overtime. However, starting from version 141, the difference between them doubled from 5MB to 10MB, meaning a nearly 13.5% larger installer for the 64bit version than the 32bit one.

Why is that? What happened? Are there are feature differences that would warranty such a large gulf in their installer sizes? It's the AI isn't it? 32bit users were spared the bloat of the AI.

I also see that starting from 115.16 Firefox suggests users that aren't on Windows 7-8.1 or MacOS 10.12-10.14 should use other versions. Given both x86 and Windows' immense reputation surrounding backwards compatibility, is this really a concern? Is there REALLY something supported by Windows 7-8.1 that wouldn't function on 10?

Where can I download a fresh Firefox 115.33.0esr (64-bit) browser for Win-7 because the one I have installed is so corrupted and I can't seem to be able to fix it.

I am switching from firefox to firefox-esr. Version 147.0.3 to 140.7.0esr, start firefox with --allow-downgrade which mostly works. What does not is the "Home default" page, it is blank and can not even be configured to what it was because the settings page is also blank, nothing below "choose what content ...".

I have done this on 4 machines now with same failure for the home page. settings. My previous workaround was new profile and import data so the setting page is therein ESR. This is a far harder than it should be there being no single export-import. I had to export import history with a third party plugin and cookies the only method [I found] was to copy the sqlite file. Others like password export-import are fragmented.

You say to go to the download page and my version of Windows will be detected & you'll give me the correct version. However, IE 8 in Windows 7 won't go to your download page. So, I need to download from another computer and copy the file to the Windows 7 computer. This doesn't work when you detect that the computer doing the download is a newer computer. How do I tell your system to give me the Windows 7 installer?

I have been blocked from making payments from the billpayer on my accounts with credit union. Even my Gmail says I am using an outdated browser but my settings history says it is all up to date. Bills are due and I need help in clearing this up. I am on Windows 7 Home Premium.Is there something further I need to adjust?

Hello Everyone,

I am using actually 140.9. ESR. How can I cange to the "normal" Version?

Or could I use browser-VPN in ESR too ?

Many Thanks for answering. Chris
