Firefox Community Forum

Why is there constant updates?. It seems like everyday there is one and it's annoying. The updates seem to add like stupid shopping, having 80 tabs open and stupid crap like that. I am beginning to think Microsoft's Edge browser is the best even though it's a terrible browser. Also given the fact that Mozilla now wants to sell our browsing history to advertisers. Mozilla has decided privacy is no longer important now by selling our info for targeted ads. Seems like you want to collect as much of what sites we visit plus more telemetry to spy on us. If you piss enough people off, then they and myself are going to switch browsers. You have the nerve to ask for donations only to turn around and sell our information.

Hello.

The problem i am having with several latest versions of firefox just on my desktop version is that it always no matter which search engine i am using it forces the websites to switch to dark mode. i have checked the settings several times and in General , Language and appearance , i have put it in light mode and it didn't help, i have put it in automatic mode and even though my system is in light mode and it's morning it didn't help either i have uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla over and over again and it didn't help either.

Moderator's note: Formatting update

Hello,

It's safe to say that Mozilla is not heading in the right direction, with each FF release things are gradually getting worse and worse (example: the removal of the search bar ENTER key function, and the recent change of terms that allows mozilla to harvest user data through FF). Optimally, the user would be allowed go back to an older release, but with downgrades come the loss of profile ... etc, which is why I chose to simply stop updating FF completely. Not an ideal situation, but there's no telling what else Mozilla is going to f up in the next hour, week or months.

I thought my troubles were over, except there's now the added nag message, it shows up every few minutes, every time i start the browser, even starting private browsing window will activate the update prompt message. it's tedious having to press "dismiss" 20 times a day, the message itself imposes on page content, and can't be disabled by clicking outside the message box. I've already went into configuration, and activated the silent update message option, but to my amazement, the message came back again in a few hours, and the option was flipped back off.

how do i get rid of this message once and for all? and before mozilla staff clarifies how stupid it is to turn off updates, i understand the risks of my own stupidity, i just don't want to put up with mozilla's.

I need to increase free space on my computer so that I can complete my tax declaration. Unfortunately, when I check the update status I am told that I cannot update to macOS Big Sur from Macintosh HD...

I use Debian Linux as my workhorse. I accept what Firefox derivatine is supported by Debian. Nevr bother to upgrade or sign up (wish to be annonymous not for any political reason but my nature). I am very opn in the WWW. Use Google's Blog spot. By the way I use many browsers including Falko, Dillo and Epiphany. My Question is Do I have to Upgrade Firefox and Regiser with Firefox evry time I upgrade ?

Hi, upon seeing that Firefox 138 was available, I was surprised to see that my version of Firefox is still on 136. I'm on Kubuntu Oracular (24.10) and using the PPA at https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu oracular InRelease. After checking https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and filtering for the different Ubuntu releases, it seems that both Noble and the newer Plucky have 138 available, but Oracular didn't even get 137.

Is there a reason for this?

My computer will likely update to 25.04 in the relatively near future (there is currently an updater bug that's delaying the rollout), but I'm still curious why this is two versions behind.

I've always specified in settings that I want to be notified of updates so I can choose whether and when to apply them (rather than have them applied automatically), but I periodically get the message I've attached here, which inconveniently wipes out everything on my Private Browsing page. How do I stop this?
