How can I stop Firefox from checking for updates?
This problem STILL has not been fixed 3 years later. I DON'T WANT FIREFOX CHECKING FOR UPDATES.

Hello all, I was wondering if any one else is getting these old file virus alerts "Trojan Horse Full Path: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\00029458.tmp" I have been getting alerts every two or three days from Norton "NIS" with different temporary file numbers that end up in this folder/directory. These are some type of Media file that are 7 years old with lots of users. They seam to popup when I read my yahoo news feed. I browse in private mode, so I don't save cash or searches, I don't use a VPN either so maybe someone is trying to track me or Norton is being over protective because these don't look to be harmful because of so many users but I am no expert.

For weeks I have been trying to find a solution to getting "Error 15" on certain websites when using Firefox. Opera and Edge have no problems with those sites, only Firefox has problems. I have tried every "fix" that I can find on the Mozilla site and none of them work. Is there anything else I should try before I abandon Firefox? Could it be that Firefox is now unreliable under Win7 Pro 64-bit? If so I will have to abandon it because this computer cannot run Win10 or later.

I want to install an older version of WaterFox. (I have my reasons for doing so). I can download and install an older version, but investigating the version after the install on Windows 7 reveals that it is NOT the version I downloaded. But is instead the newest version available. I have tried several uninstallers and deleted profiles and strings in the registry but nothing seems to help installing an older version. Can anyone offer some advice?

Hi,
First of all, I should ask: Is there a such feature gained with settings or addons that highlights my previous tab, that I didn't closed, but moved from to current tab?
For example: I have 20 tabs opened. And I'm lurking between them so I need to know what was the previous tab where I was before moved to the current tab.
If this feature does not exists I kindly offer to implement it.
Thanks

Hello Fire Fox,
I am trying to access a personal account through a client portal & every time I try I get his error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR.
I have cleared my cache & every other trouble shooting option available to me. I need to access this client portal asap.
My HP computer is old 2014/15 & is running on Windows 7, does that have anything to do with my issue?
I have tried accessing this client portal on my new smartphone, newer Samsung tablet as well as another newer computer & I keep getting the same message.
Is it the website or my device?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi All my icons changed to a globe image yesterday. I don't know why. However, I discovered that if I opened a bookmark, the correct icon reappeared. With 30 bookmarks to work on, this seemed like a lot of time, BUT your can "Open All Bookmarks in Tabs" and if you wait long enough, all your icons will be restored to those which the websites supply.

Hello. I have two computers (A and B). the hard drive on the B died and i just had a new hard drive installed. i have installed firefox on B. the sync to my A does not work. firefox asks me to sign in. i sign in with my email address and password for B, this is not accepted. i then try signing in with A's password and that is not accepted either. when i check A's settings, it doesnt allow me to add B as a new device. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When I play a video or audio, the audio stops abruptly if i add a new tab or switch between tab. This is of recent nature. There is no yellow marks on the device manager. When I click the sound is totally gone. I have not changed any settings. I tried a thread solution of making false in auto pref media in about:config. But that does notfix the problem. why this happens and how to fix it I was adding speakers to a pc after quite long time and the sound plays well. But i could not hear the audio if i change the tab or add a new tab

Today my Firefox browser has started muting my streaming video after 40 seconds and I need to pause/start or go back 10 seconds to restart the sound. It is really annoying. I have updated and restarted both my computer and Firefox, and tried different streaming services, but it didn't fix it.

Firstly, a moan. If you are going to ask me to provide data manually for heavens sake DO NOT divert the page in which I've just spent time typing to another page and dump all my work into the ether in the process!! Trigger the opening of a new tab, save my work, or just don't request - but PLEASE don't waste my time making me type the whole lot again!
Now, back to screenshots. As useful as the feature is, the 'copy' function does not allow paste into much I've tried or the desktop. The download function only saves in PNG format which isn't much liked for uploading elsewhere. Can we not have the possibility to chose a download familiar file format, e.g. JPEG and PDF?
Also, can we not have a facility to print a screenshot? That is to send directly to a print function. That would be very useful as one could print just the parts of web-pages required, not all the dross, white space, page breaks in wrong places and in some cases huge length (multitude of print pages).
Perhaps this should be posted in suggestions for inprovement, if only I could find that page... No link to it? Or am I missing it?
Thanks.
After the last update, the font on many pages has become bold. How to fix it ? Everything is on the Fonts tab by default.
