Firefox Community Forum

I’m facing a strange issue after the recent Firefox update. Whenever I try to install or update Firefox to the latest version, the process stops midway and a small popup appears related to a “challan notification” from a website I recently visited.

After this popup appears:

The installation freezes

Automatic updates fail

Firefox sometimes restarts but remains on the old version

No error code is shown, just the interrupted update process

I have already tried:

Clearing cache & cookies

Restarting Firefox

Safe Mode

Reinstalling Firefox manually

Checking firewall/antivirus settings

But the problem still occurs.

I want to confirm:

Is any website notification (like a challan reminder or traffic-alert site) capable of interrupting Firefox updates?

Does Firefox block updates if a previous session was not closed properly due to such popups?

What is the correct method to force a clean update without affecting my browsing data?

Please guide me on how to fix this issue. Thank you!

Less a question, more a statement. On most updates (every? I don't know) I loose my dictionaries and the spellchecking does no longer work.

Also, after an update the browser just ... dies. I mean it still works but it is if I would have no internet. Usually some tabs die before the others.

So yeah, this little rant hopefully opens a ticket and you guys can check if others have the same problem.

Also if you are wondering why nobody is upgrading. Yeah, that is the reason. I try to delay it as much as possible.

Several weeks ago, Mozilla completely reset my Firefox. Removed my addons, reset my settings in about

config. I had previously changed a lot of things, specifically stopped all videos and things moving on my page. I searched the net, and changed a few things, but I still have things moving on my pages. Thanks, Mozilla, Brave is looking better everyday. Win7 115.30 oesr I am not happy. How do I send a message right to Mozilla, Hidden and impossible.
