Firefox is updating 2-4 x/month while in use and has to be restarted. But my setting is on "Check for updates, but choose when to install". The last update recorded is listed as February 2026. So what gives? Thanks

Dell recently re-installed my Firefox program but it seems to be an older version. Although I can find my bookmarks the bookmark toolbar is gone and that was a very handy feature. How do I update the program and get my toolbar back?

My Firefox program was recently re-installed by Dell. But it seems to be an older version and among other things I can't find my bookmark toolbar. So I'm hoping that updating Firefox will solver this problem.

Win 10

As of today, this was the situation (image 1). I had to do a manual update.

Also, when I first visited here today, I was not logged in. I 'd like to stay logged in. Then, I couldn't have been here for more than 15 seconds, and this appeared. How can a session be expired when there was no session? Is this part of the reason I don't stay logged in?

Out of nowhere, the Nightly browser starts with Windows & a new profile. This forces me to go to Settings to uncheck the setting for Nightly to start when I start Windows.

First, the setting "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" should never, ever be checked by default.

Second, this has happened on both my Win11 computers with Nightly. What is concerning is that somehow a Nightly update out of the blue created a brand new profile--I have a specific profile I use for my Nightly installs--with the start with Windows startup setting checked. This should not happen even with an alpha app like Nightly. The update process should only be using the profile running when the update process takes place.

This forces me to run the Firefox Profile Manager to delete the profile that was created out of the blue.

Honestly, if this is not addressed, I will have to stop using Firefox, Beta & Nightly. I have Firefox since it first was pre-version 1.0, but I refuse to use an app that thinks it is acceptable to make default a setting like Start with Windows startup.

I have installed the .deb version of Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu. It was recently replaced by unattended-upgrades with the snap version. I get the impressions that is due to the fact that unattended-upgrades does not consider https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release as a source when running.

It seems that it would be possible to configure unattended-upgrades to include https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release.

The current value for "Origin" in https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release is "namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/repositories/mozilla" (to me pr-number looks like a pull request).

I would like to confirm whether or not this is a stable value for Origin, and if not - can a stable value be allocated?
