Dear Firefox friends, I am rather computer illiterate and use the internet only for emails and purchasing from Amazon. I have avoided installing Firefox updates, as they disable my sound and change language to Albanian, where I live, but don’t speak Albanian. Can you solve this, or will I have to just avoid installing updates? I have no concern for security; anyone can hack into anything they want, but it will do them no good; I don’t have anything that is sensitive, and my bank has everything well secured (and minimal funds anyway). Do you have a permanent solution – I don’t want to fix every update? I know you hate non-nerds like me, but I'm 80, and have neither the time nor inclination to be one!!!! Thanks, and have a great day,

A pain in the ass I do not want updates I have it marked on settings every update I get screws up computer I do not do a lot except stock market then take a nap I am 88 and not interested in playing games or silly stuff

I'm using Firefox Nightly, and I'm fully aware that preview features come with their fair share of bugs. Usually, it only prompts for a restart to update every 2-3 days, but today, I’ve had to restart 5 times. 5!!

The version numbers are as follows:

20260505081714 20260505214504 20260506085915 20260506210744 20260507021236

I'm just wondering if there’s something wrong with my browser. Should I perform a clean install?"

I was sent the message: Your Firefox has been updated🎉 Celebrating 150 Firefox releases. It lists a lot of great things but I need to know if all those "great things" are free or do I have to pay for those perks. I do not understand most of what is being touted as great in the computer world, so I'm not sure if I want it or not.......

Every time I manually update firefox, it reinstalls the automatic update malware "Mozilla Maintenance Service". I can't stop this malware from being installed with my browser every time I update Firefox. I call it malware because its not wanted, and it behaves like malware by secretly downloading content without my consent and then shutting down my browser when it finishes by blocking access to all new tabs.

I've tried adding policies to stop auto updates, but Mozilla Maintenance Service ignores all policies. I'm going to see if I can contact AVG and explain to them that Mozilla Maintenance Service is malware and see if I can get it classified as such to see if that'll finally get through to someone because I'm sick of this crap constantly being installed and forcing things on me whenever they want and not when I want.

Now after this update, every google search forces open my location service trying to force me to give location rights. This update is even more malware than all the other updates before hand. Firefox is getting extremely dangerous.

I let my Firefox update not even an hour ago. I went to right click and copy some text and the menu is now BLANK expect for "Search Google". I copy and paste in the browser A LOT. I need this fixed. Next time you guys push out an update I'm going to ignore it.
