Hi, this might depend on where your Firefox comes from — if that is managed by your system, and that's no longer providing any updates, it might mean some manual work, see e.g. support.mozilla.org/questions/1565362
What Linux/Ubuntu distribution you're running, and are you able to update that one to something currently supported to start with?

thank you all the version of firefox was on a xtra-pc stick which unknown to me had become corrupted which happened over 4 years ago and it did not update since then, so the auto update in the about firefox page did not work i have had to purge firefox from the stick and start again .
all i will say is thank god for the sync function
thank you all again
Mozilla only provides internal updates in Firefox with the official builds for Windows, macOS and Linux (tarball archive) from say https://www.firefox.com/download/all/
You appear to be using a old Ubuntu related package build of Firefox 113.0 as your Firefox UserAgent or UA used to post this forum thread shows Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0
If you are not getting anymore Firefox updates in your package manager then your version of Linux distro may be EOL in software packages support from repositories. You will have to either update your Linux distro to a current supported version to get package updates or use the Firefox tarball version from Mozilla. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
