Firefox Requiring Admin UAC to Update - Still Fails

Firefox will randomly require an admin to install the latest update and then go 10 or so updates without any admin access needed.

Work device, all users are non admin making this extremely tedious to update a browser that brings a new update almost every 3-5 days.

On top of that, I elevated to admin and went to the help > About section and pressed Restart to Update Firefox and entered admin creds and still its refusing to update. Just re-opens on 151.0.4.

On the previous version it did the same thing. I completely wiped my firefox from the system, removed all registry and file settings, rebooted, and did a fresh install.

now on 152.0 its doing the same thing again.

I have a Firefox Account associated with [your Yahoo address]. I last successfully received Firefox verification emails in March 2026. Since then I receive no verification emails and no password reset emails. Other email from other senders arrives normally. The account sign-in page displays the correct email address. Is my account locked or flagged?

Firefox promised us an gen ai kill switch. But theres this new ai summary feature that is not automatically disabled when i press the kill switch. Could you fix this, so that when i press the disable ai button all gen ai features are disabled! Even the ai summaries feature. Could you also not hide or try to sneak in any more ai features! Nobody needs ai features, it's actively making us all dumber. Thank you.

I have had the YouTube Nonstop extension for a few months. It was great. It let me play playlists without stopping every few songs. Then today it quit working.

I turned it off and back on but that didn't work. I looked for an update but the last one was 2 years ago.

I haven't tried removing it and reinstalling it. I guess I will do that. Anyone have any ideas?

I see people communicating with the developer on the App store, but I can't find out how to do that. I don't see a link to the developer.

Any help would be appreciated.

When I logged on to my laptop this morning, it appeared that my Firefox was updated. I immediately was inundated with pop up alerts from McAfee. I checked it and learned it was a scam. However, my husband thought it was legit and allowed them to do a scan!!!! He didn’t download any software. What do we need to do?

(I did see the solution to stop these pop ups and have already resolved that issue. I’m just worried that some party scanned my laptop.

I have been using my userchrome.css for many years.

However, now Firefox ignores css style for all menu backgrounds after upgrading to v152.

Here is my current userchrome.css text: /*tighten drop down menus*/ menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {

 padding-block: 1px !important;

}

root {
 --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 1px 1px !important;

}

/* changed this block ----------------------------------------------------*/ /* #bookmarksMenuPopup hbox {background:#CD5C5C !important;} */ /* /Change highlighted menu text to any color:/ */ /* menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], */ /* browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} */ /* browsermessage, notification{ background-color: red !important;} */ /* menupopup { */ /* -moz-appearance: none !important; */ /* background-color: #CD5C5C !important } */

  1. bookmarksMenuPopup { --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important;}

menupopup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menupopup > menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"], popup > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], browsermessage,notification .notification-inner{ border-color: red !important;} browsermessage, notification{ --panel-background: red !important;} menupopup {-moz-appearance: none !important; --panel-background: #CD5C5C !important }

/* other bookmarks */

  1. menu_unsortedBookmarks,
  2. menu_mobileBookmarks,
  3. bookmarksMenuItemsSeparator{

display: none !important; }

/* hide Bookmarks Toolbar Folder */

  1. bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu, #bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu+menuseparator {display: none !important;}

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu { /* color of the text */ color: red !important; }

menupopup > :is(menuitem, menu):hover {

 background-color: lightskyblue !important;

} ((

menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menuitem, menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menu {

 color: white !important;

}

/* Global UI font */

  • {font-size: 14pt !important;

font-weight: bold !important;}

However, now all my menu backgrounds (e.g File, Edit, Bookmarks, etc, see attached screenshot) are black with a see through background.

I would like to return to my original menu settings backgrounds. How do I do it please?

Thanks in advance.

When using the built-in VPN, even if you turn off the "use VPN for this site" toggle, the site does not open until you turn off the VPN completely. I have a local company website that doesn't work when VPN is enabled, and I want to use the new built-in VPN with an exception for this website. But after I turn off the "Use VPN for this website" toggle, the website still won't open. The only solution is to completely disable the VPN for the browser.

I have an external camera (Four miles away from home) can access live cam & recordings via mobile phone. Want to be able to view this cam on my Windows 11 laptop, directly without using Netsee app or an emulator. I understand (*Usually very little - tech!) that this is quite possible to link this camera via my Firefox browser, to my laptop. I have the IP address, is there any kind sole out there that could help me achieve this?

Fingers crossed. Barrie
