Close FF totally, then restart. Do your add-ons still work?

Yes, I manually verified that all the add-ons still work. Also I did a full restart of the PC and the message still appears at the top. I attached a screenshot. This is the message that appears when I started using Firefox today after restarting.

So if you use the X button on the right side of that bar, it comes back the next time you exit out and restart Firefox?

By the way the latest version of Firefox for Windows 8.1 is 115.21.0esr. If you have that, then the message definitely makes no sense.

Yes, if I hit the X, then the message goes away for about 24 hours before reappearing the next day. This has been popping up since February. I hoped the message would disappear after March 14th, but it hasn't stopped showing up. You're right that this operating system is Windows 8.1, running with 115.11.0esr.

Oh, that's probably the problem. The message is applicable to versions lower than 115.13.0esr.

Is it ever going to go away or is it going to keep showing up forever? I've already seen the same message 30+ times already.

It won't go away until you update to v115.21.0esr. You can find the installer for that at https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/115.21.0esr/.

@ cwmatch5, the "update to keep using Firefox" message was supposed to stop after March 14th, but so were your add-ons. Somehow you've avoided both. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time? Maybe Firefox doesn't know the expiration date has passed?

But as jscher2000 and Ed say, updating to version 115.21.0esr should make the message go away.

Is it ever going to go away or is it going to keep showing up forever? I've already seen the same message 30+ times already.

As stated already, you should not get this message if you use 115.13.0esr (115.thirteen.0esr) or later including the current 115.21.0esr as you said you have the older 115.11.0esr (115.eleven.0esr)

Besides the archive link poster earlier you can use these links. Just pick the language and use the Download 115 ESR box to download the current Firefox setup 115.21.0esr 64-bit: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/desktop-esr/win64/ 32-bit: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/desktop-esr/win/

Or you can check for internal Firefox updates in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-release

For what it's worth, these "info bar" messages are scheduled to end on March 18, so even if updating to the latest ESR 115 version doesn't make the message go away, it should stop showing on its own tomorrow.

@ cwmatch5: Are you still receiving this "Update to keep using Firefox" message? Have you updated to version 115.21.0esr?

Hi @Chris Peterson, I'm not seeing the message anymore since yesterday. I wanted to wait until today to make sure it was actually gone, but I haven't seen it pop up at all. The last time I saw the message was sometime during the morning of 3/18 GMT+7 time. I will be updating the browser, but the message did go away on the older version.
