I have resurrected a PPC ( 32bit) Mac G5 to Ubuntu 14.04, the installed foxfire version is 28.0, canonical 1.0.

I can not access the internet, as expected, due to an unsure connection.  

Is there a way for me to upgrade foxfire? Can I fix the secure connection issue and use still https? Is there a dependence that is needed? What do you suggest? thxs Mart

I don't know if the F/F updates are legit; I used to get updates, once in while.Lately seems updates are every few days or everyday.Not sure if these are spam or getting hacked?

I am running Firefox version 155.0.1 under Windows 10. I am receiving Extended Security Updates. When I update Firefox with the automatic updater it replaces the old version with the new one and everything runs fine but the automatic updater fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. This leaves me with two versions of Firefox listed on the Apps & features page. In order to avoid having this extra entry I have been uninstalling Firefox and then running the installation program to update to the next version. Uninstall removes both entries, but if try using the automatic updater again, once again it fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue. With the frequency of updates being released, I would like to update with the automatic updater without having to remove the ghost registry key each time or resorting to uninstalling the previous version before running the install program.

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.

After Firefox update on my win 11 laptop, I had to reset my Firefox custom homepage and all my search settings and all my security settings. This should not happen. I did not lose my bookmarks or anything else.
