Hi! I have latest version of Firefox installed on my PC. But sometimes I am programming for web. So I would like to have Firefox Developer Edition as well. But I don't want them both at the same time - one for my usual web surfing and another one for web programming using leading (or even bleeding) edge features.

How do I install and use them separately? I tried running Firefox Dev Edition installer, but it does not ask questions like where to install and which Firefox profile to use.

Firefox was updated on this machine on this same day (March 6th). Old tabs continued to work. E.g. I could browse news.ycombinator.com/news as long as I worked within one tab. But if I wanted to visit an outside article the new tab I would create would not fill in. New tabs via control-T or via clicks did not download anything. At first the Firefox default new tab page would load but it stopped. I closed the browser. All the windows and tabs were lost at this point. Edge is what I am using now for the moment. I want to uninstall the existing browser and reinstall it.

When I run the uninstaller it says that firefox.exe is still running. When I try to stop it with the task manager, it respawns.

Please let me know how to run the uninstaller when firefox.exe won't die.

data = passwords, history, bookmarks, session logins

the crash I got from last update, made me lose months of work.

I want to try to save as much I can by importing/exporting my data

hey,

so long story short, I've been using a 2 months old firefox 32bit and everything was absolute great.

Until few days ago when the browser started to lag just from time to time.

Today I decided that it's time to let it get the update.

What happened now is there is no launch file for firefox, lol

I can't start the browser.

I went to last-update.log and:

2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: Performing a staged update 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: PATCH DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updates/0 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: INSTALLATION DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox 2023-03-04 23:34:49-0300: WORKING DIRECTORY /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updated 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: ensure_copy: failed to write the file: /home/walt/openfolder4/firefox/firefox/updated/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf, err: 28 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: failed: 61 2023-03-04 23:35:20-0300: calling QuitProgressUI

if anyone can help me get the how do you want to open up this file page it would be really great because i'm trying to download unity 2019 and it won't let me because it keeps downloading as a firefox file

My old computer is running Windows 8.1. My newer computer is running Windows 10. I have tried five different sets of instructions for moving all my bookmarks, saved logins, current tabs, etc. from the old to the newer using a memory stick, and none of them has worked.

Do the Windows versions have to be the same? Do the Firefox versions have to match?

Is there a site that tells how to do this?

My FF is set up to: - Always ask you where to save files - Open PDF in Firefox

On normal PDF links, FF opens the PDF normally without downloading (or after downloading it silently in a temporary location invisible to me). On "Force Download" links, FF downloads the PDF to the Download folder without asking where to save it. This is for example the case when clicking "Download" on a file in Gmail. If I click "Download" in Gmail on another file type that I have not set to "Open in Firefox", FF does ask me where to save it.

My expectation would be that, if the file cannot be opened in the browser, then FF would revert to the user's chosen behavior of "Always ask you where to save files".

HI All,

   I cannot update my laptop from Firefox browser v103 to v109, and I couldn't find any log regarding to the failed update. Since my laptop cannot connect to internet, it is not updated with the new cert. Do you think that is the cause of problem?

Please advise. Thank you very much for your help.

I just downloaded Video DownloadHelper as an add-on to my Mozilla Firefox browser. After I finished installing it, I could not find any shortcut of any icon for me to click and use it. My purpose was to download some video clips to my desktop. I did try to click the 3-bars on the upper right corner of the menu bar to add the icon to the menu bar, but the icon was missing and I could not find it anywhere. I also checked to make sure that I have the latest version of FireFox. I did try to remove and delete Video DownloadHelper from FireFox, clear and remove all my data, cookies, history... and then defrag my hard drive, restart my desktop computer and then reinstall Video DownloadHelper. The Video DownloadHelper icon was nowhere to be found. My operating system I am using is Windows 11. There is no email, no phone number for me to contact. I hope a solution is found soon to fix and resolve that problem. Thank you very much.

Whenever launching Firefox on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1, simultaneously the App Store also launches. This was happening even before the most recent update to Firefox browser (my current, up-to-date version of Firefox is 110.0.1). Also, once the App Store has launched (on top of Firefox, as if launched after browser window rendered), the App Store gives dialog box with a message to the effect of "can't load App Store". The only recent change I can think of having done with anything to do with internet settings is having assiged DuckDuckGo as default browser (which I've been rethinking anyway). Are there some recommended steps I should attempt to get Firefox to launch by itself without dragging along an unable to launch App Store?
