Форум поддержки Firefox

I'm using Firefox 78.0.2 and i keep getting notices to upgrade. But the last time I upgraded, Firefox changed the locations of my tabs from below the address bar to above the address bar and also changed the behavior of the address bar. It took me a couple of weeks to find the answers and get things back the way they were. I don't want to upgrade Firefox because I have no idea what it might change this time. Is there a way to keep Firefox from sending me upgrade notices when I don't want them?

.. Ich habe die aktuelle Firefox 79 Version, wollte mir ein Addon installieren, da kommt die Meldung " für Firefox, downloaden sie Firefox"...

Dies machte Ich mit dem gedanken , das evtl. ein Miniupdate sein könnte, ich installierte die gedownloadete Version Firefox 79. Aber wieder kann ich keine Addons installieren, als hätte ich kein Firefox...??? Bitte um Hilfe, Danke

.. I have the current Firefox 79 version, wanted to install an addon, there comes the message " for Firefox, download Firefox"...

I did this with the thought that it might be a mini update, I installed the downloaded version Firefox 79. But again, I can't install any addons as if I didn't have Firefox...??? Please help me, thanks

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question - I just can't find anything online that works. I'm trying to move the entirety of Firefox from my C:\ drive to my D:\ drive in order to reduce writes to my SSD. I'm trying to use mklink with this command to move my profiles from appdata:

mklink /J "C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" "D:\Programs\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"

However, when I try and execute it I get the result "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is there a pocket-free build of firefox available for download? Before you say, you can just disable it, I already have. In addition to that I've blocked the update/api url as well. I want it removed completely, I strong feel mozilla should make it opt-in or provide a pocket free build.

I was thinking perhaps there is a regulatory constraint on of the builds here that I could install, then change back to english?

Any help would be appreciated.

Evert time I open an enclosure or a link in an e-mail, Foxfire automatically sends it to a download rather than letting me view it. This is extremely annoying. I understand that this procedure may be necessary for e-mails from folks I don't know, and I could opt out for this option. But I should be able to make that determination and particularly with e-mail from people I know. i used to get a notice that asked me if I wanted to download the item, but that never happens any more. How can I fix this to operate as it used to? Thanks for the help. Bill

My parents do not have administrator rights under Win10 and could no longer start Firefox when an update was offered. Instead of starting at least the outdated Firefox version, only an update popup appears that can only be run as an administrator. How do I have to carry out the installation so that Firefox can continue to be used in the old version (until I update it)?

Firefox will not completely install. Process dies midinstall. Part goes to background but it does nothing. Try to execute it and you get a browser blank page but it will do nothing. Need help please.

Been using f-fox for years . Suddenly at reinstall rec'v error message see attachment "firefox-crash-Capture" . After that firefox fails at run time see attachment "firefox-crash-Capture-II" then nothing works no clicks must use ALT F4 to exit.

Please advise.

From a Mozilla Support page, " Firefox lets you import login information from a .csv (##..##) file. This feature is available starting in Firefox Version 80." I have the .csv file for my logins and passwords thru the export function. I can not get the drop down menu where I can select the "import from a file..." per the instruction in the support example because I am running Version 79. Many attempts to update to the latest version stops at 79. My help page for version states that I have the latest update --v79. SO--- any suggestions as to were I can go to download version 80. I am trying to transfer my logins from laptop 1 to laptop 2 without going thru the laborious task of entering each login by hand.

Hello,

I recently had to re-install Windows 10 due to its corruption caused by a BIOS update. The diagnosis & re-install was done with the help of Microsoft phone support. My Firefox profile was gone, (as was my Thunderbird), but with Microsoft help, a lot of my data was saved in a separate folder. I was able to fix my Thunderbird from profile data on my previous Windows 7 PC, but I am not quite sure how to use the profile data in the separate folder to reconstitute Firefox to the way it was before my OS re-install. I am adding an image of the files in my original Firefox profile folders. I would appreciate help to retrieve my many bookmarks & history. The profile I would like to use is the one dated 5/26/2020. I will provide any additional information if necessary.

Thank you.

I had originally upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04. Had an issue and I had to reload 20.04. Things seem stable now. I went to restore my bookmarks. Went to Library Icon and clicked on it, but there was no IMPORT and BACKUP button. I even went to the Menu Icon and clicked on it to see if that would work. Nope.

I'm running 79.0. What did I do, but better yet, how do I fix this????

The profile folder on the new installation is to be replaced with that from the old. So far so good, I've copied the profile folder from Windows and now want to exchange it for the profile folder on the new Ubuntu computer. Problem is that this is the very latest Ubuntu version (only a few weeks old) and there IS no profiles folder in Firefox!

What there is, is a profiles.ini file but I am reluctant to put it in there because it does not appear to have anything to do with the contents of the ex-windows profile folder.

There is an option to create a new folder but I'm not at all sure what this would do.

Hope you can help

Blessed be Karma
