I‘m somewhat uncertain: I downloaded the Firefox Installer from (I believe) Mozilla.org via Edge. When I tried to Upload the file to VirusTotal I got errors first and it only worked after restarting the laptop.

The file hadn‘t been analyzed so far (which surprised me), 1 out of 72 scanners claimed to have found a Trojan but what bothered me more was that according to VirusTotal the file was compiled in 2018 with Microsoft Visual C/C++ 12.00.8168. It was also somewhat smaller than the last Installer I downloaded (342kb vs. 390kb), although both should be version 18.05.

So I‘m a little concerned if the downloaded file is legitimate?

Hi all, I had a firefox account years ago that i forgot about. Ive just switched from google to firefox by downloading ff and when i opened the browser it had all my old bookmarks and things across the top. I deleted that old account and signed into ff using a new email yet my old bookmarks remained. I then did and 'import' from chrome hoping it would overwrite the old things but it did not. So i am now with a new email / account stuck with older bookmarks i do not want, id like to have all my current bookmarks/passwords and the other things ...

What can I do about this?

Thanks

Dear Community,

Been having a problem with downloading for about 2 weeks now.

I am doing a course in Ethical Hacking, and have been told to download an .ova file from the internet. The download is 8.5 GB.

However, it has failed on, now, 8 occasions. The nearest it has come, is it has downloaded 5.1 GB.

Could anybody recommend another tool to download files better and quicker? This course is now almost halfway through and I still have not managed to download the software. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Could it possibly be the case that my anti-virus, Microsoft Defender, is not letting the download through? If so, how could I switch the anti-virus off, please?

I can't download anything anymore. I get the "failed" message. I see in support questons that this has been going on for a long time even though there have been repeated "fixes" reported. I've used Firefox for a long time and really prefer it, but I'm having to change to Chrome to be able to complete my work.

I have been using Firefox for ages and never had a problem - love it - but now I see the remark: Firefox has ended support for Windows 8 and Vista on my screen at the right top corner. It also will no longer update my computer.

I do have and use Windows 10 - so I don't see what is the problem? I tried to refresh and that didn't work either.

Please help because I like to stay with Firefox but I do need to update and keep my computer secure.

I am not very computer savy so please tell me what to do in simple word.

Thank you for your help Christine

Could you please let me know how to fix this in plain english so I can easily do it myself - I am no computer wizzard.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please write your answer to my email account: [removed email from public] ,

Dear Mozilla Team, I hope you're doing well. I have a question because I am not sure about things how works when someone changes a device. 3 days ago I changed my Mac device to a new one and however I logged in with my profile my Mozilla Firefox looks completely different and I would like to know which version I used let's say a week ago and what is the version now, is there a way to figure out this? Honestly, I don't like this version and I would like to get back the old one or the old customization. Can you check this for me please? Thank you, Richard.
