Firefox ერთობის განხილვა

Hello,

Today I updated to Firefox 143.0.3. When done (most of?) my add-ons were gone, in particular all my add blockers, facebook container, etc. Also, my search engine defaulted to Google (yikes!)from Duck Duck etc. I am very specific about trying to block all ads, trackers, etc and avoiding all Google products. Other things stayed the same like cookies preferences.

Is this done by design? Is there a file somewhere that still has all my add-on info, that I can restore.

I really would give up on browsing if I am forced to see ads all the time.

Thank you! Petrus Martens

Tried to update Firefox. Got the message: your updates are being managed by your organization. I'm a home user. No organization. What is the problem? Thank you in advance.

I have been getting asked to update my firefox for the past 2 weeks now. Everytime, it asks me to update my firefox. I update it, and then when I quit firefox (restart computer) and re enter, it asks me to enter my admin details to be able to install a helper tool to finish installation.

Attached is a video of that happening. Essentially, I have downloaded the latest version directly off of mozilla website, but it continously asks me to update & install helper tool.

When credentials are entered, it doesn't do anything. When I press cancel, the application does not respond and need to force quit. Either way, I cannot access firefox everytime it asks me for an update.

Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 11 23H2 FireFox 136.0.1

When clicking check for updates it firstly shows the rotating arrows icon for a long time and then says "Failed to Check for Updates"

I've completely reinstalled Firefox and this continues to happen

I do not have NordVPN or any other VPN installed

The behaviour is the same in troubleshoot mode

Update fails, apparently in post-refresh hook with the symlinks in /var/snap/firefox/common/snap-hunspell/ pointing to non-existent files in a non-existent directory (e.g. to /snap/firefox/5701/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff where /snap/firefox/5701/ does not exist).

A thunderbird update (128.6.0esr->128.6.1esr) fails very similarly.

I used snap to update manually in order to see error messages:

donald@dhl-pd70sneg24:~$ snap refresh --list Name Version Rev Size Publisher Notes firefox 135.0-2 5701 270MB mozilla✓ - thunderbird 128.6.1esr-3 634 221MB canonical✓ - user@machine:~$ sudo snap refresh error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Run post-refresh hook of "firefox" snap if present (run hook "post-refresh":

So I need to update my Firefox Browser to 128 BUT somehow "Updates disabled by your system administrator." and as I am the only user I have never set up an administrator.

So I have had a look and I don't understand most of what I am reading.

So about:policies.... DisableAppUpdate true So how do I change that? I have looked at Reg Editor but have no idea what I am looking at.

It took me a long time to update to Firefox 121 because I did not like some of the changes Mozilla did to it like spacing between Bookmarks in the dropdown so to update again is a big thing for me. Attached as much as I think is relevant. Any help will be much appreciated.
