How to get the latest Firefox version for Win7? My Firefox shows me that I am using the latest Firefox version which is 115. By I get messages from other websites, that my Firefox is outdated. Google shows me that the newest version of Firefox is 136. Why I am not getting it for my Win7 OS?

I am using the latest Windows which is still not bloatware/ spyware - Windows 7. I think, I am not the only one person in the world who is not going to update Windows 7, to later Win versions, until Microsoft will change it's attitude to the client interests. I would better switch to Linux than to update my Win7 to Win8, Win10, Win11.

Please, make all newest updates accessible for Win7.

She denied permission to install helper at first, but that caused firefox to be dysfunctional. Retrying the install and giving permission to install the helper did not correct the problem. Her laptop is pretty much down for the count on this problem - firefox does not come up. Endless spinning beachball.

Is a work-around available?

It seems there is some conflict between the firefox helper and her VPN, private internet access (PIA) adding the login background task. She's. been using PIA for years.

I would try removing and re-installing firefox as a work-around but that would destroy the her bookmarks she relies on.

Thanks, Jerry

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

As the subject says and the issue being there seems to be no info regarding what "helper" is being installed !

I'm on macOS Big Sur and the update does not finish if admin password is not given...

So, what helper is it ?

Did I miss something (quite possible although I made several attempts) ?

Thanks in advance!

Recently my AdBlocker extension in Firefox was disabled. At first I thought it was just a bug, but after I closed and restarted Firefox, it was still disabled, installing various other ad blocking extensions was thwarted by Firefox claiming these extensions are corrupt! I tried other approaches, including installing from github and from third party extension library; all are stopped by Firefox. I checked Firefox update, it claims that the latest version I can upgrade to is v127 (I'm using v126), so I think it's not due to Firefox not up to date. I spent a lot of time figuring these out, most pointing to Firefox banning Chinese users from using ad blocking extensions. After all these frustrations, I updated Firefox to v127, thinking updating to the latest version won't hurt, and these extensions are still disabled, installing ad blocking extension is still not successful. But somehow I checked whether I'm using the latest version, and BAM, I can now upgrade to v136. After the update, all these problems were solved. IF ONLY Firefox can provide some useful info of why my extension is now disabled, and why installing extensions are not successful, it would save me a lot of time and trouble. You dumb lazy people!

Apologies, I have to write this on mobile because among other pages Firefox will not open for me now, THIS IS ONE OF THEM. Google is a black square (opens fine in chrome). So are multiple other pages. I can open new tabs, but clicking on them to actually navigate to them does nothing. Has anyone else had this problem???? I don't want to go back to chrome but Firefox is completely unusable right now.

Hi, I ran a Firefox update which I guess I downloaded yesterday but now Firefox won't fully load new tabs with my usual view of stories. I don't know if that's the only part that's broken or what....I'm not geeky enough to say. The "thought provoking stories" section just looks like its in a long process trying to connect with something.... all other windows I'd left pinned and recent activity shortcuts at the bottom of a new tab work.

apparently, programmers don't understand how aggravating not having backward compatibility is to the rest of us, so please bear with my extreme aggravation here. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, QUIT FIXING IT.

 firefox disabled my addons, thus forcing me to upgrade, and now I am angry. Tried downloading the new version several times. My os is as updated as it can get. Using the APT link from this site, it just shows garbage. Using the download for linux 64 bit link, it makes me jump through hoops and looks like it is working, but it looks different and none of my bookmarks transferred over. Closing it down and reopening it, I see the old version, thus making it look like I am possibly running both versions separately. Once the *all new singing and dancing special that is supposedly so much better than the old that some ignoramus decided I MUST use it instead of the old and functional one* is closed out, I see no way to reopen it. And neither version will enable or allow me to download singlefile. That is the only program I need from firefox at this time.
 Will somebody please show me, step by step, as if I am 5 years old, a back door that will enable my addons, before I go nuts and start beating programmers to death with reams of algorithms?

Have tried suggestions from other strings. Will not open in any mode on my Mac mini so cannot even uninstall. Continue to get message that It is trying to install a new helper tool but will not install or open. Restart did not work, shut down and restart did not work, “safe mode” with shift key or option key does not work.
