I have a Firefox account but now it is requiring me to sync to other devices in order to update Firefox. I have zero Other Devices, no smartphone or personal computer, just my office computer on campus. Does having no additional devices mean that I will never be able to Update Firefox anymore? When I try to install Update it says it needs to install Helper but when I enter Password it says NO, except that that IS the Password that signs me into my Firefox account, but that account sign-in then wants me to Sync Other Devices which I can't do since I have no other device. So it's kind of a hopeless circle...

Last school year I could Update no problem, but then in March our buildings were all closed for Covid and only now am I getting around to trying to Update again.

(I'm a Senior Citizen visually impaired musical accompanist for Theatre and Dance, not computer-oriented in general, just when I'm on campus)

And although I posted this Q at 1:09 pm Eastern Time here where I live, it says I posted it at 10:09 am? Why would it show Pacific Time?
