I noticed when I went to check for updates the Fire Fox Browser is, Windows MSIX Package Mozilla, MSIX 1.0 143.0.1 (64 bit). What is this and why? Do I need to uninstall this version of Fire Fox and reinstall a new one? If so, how do I do that without loosing all my data. Thanks for your help!

Hi Jon

Thank you for your question.

My understanding is that is a copy of Firefox from the Windows app store. It is an official build of Firefox from Mozilla.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Is it okay to continue using this version or should I download a version from Fire Fox? Will this version automatically update itself because I don't see where I can manually check for updates like I used to do? I don't know how this version got installed on my computer, all I did do was a refresh because I was having some problems.
