January 5, 2025 Why did Firefox update my windows 7 system without my permission even though Updates were turned off due to using Windows 7 . Consequently important desktop weblinks were lost. But also importantly, I don't like this desktop version of firefox that I did not request. I use to be able to store frequently used web links in a far right column underneath the 3 hashmarks on the top right. Now these valuable links are LOST due to your updating without my permission...What options are open to restore those web links ? Am I understanding that firefox will update without users permission though updates are turned off ? Please respond. Because, if firefox does not honor users wishes, how can we have any confidence in you ? Yes, I am upset that you over rode my setting that turned off updates due to using Windows 7. Is this your policy to ignore users wishes and settings without an explanation prior to forced windows updates ? Please Respond to the email listed below. I'll await your explanation of why you over-ride users instructions...rjk [email edited from public forum]
