Barbara from the U.K. x

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

somehow Mozilla 36.1 was added to my 35.1 causing the two versions to appear. They would both open upon start. I uninstalled 36.1 and now some sites won't open. And computer really slow. Thanks

Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or ESR 115.13+), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features.

For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

If you have questions about the update or need help with the process, this is the place to ask! Whether you’re just starting or you’ve already updated and want to share your experience, we’d love to hear from you.

Heads up for custom installs: running tbird and firefox on linux, I install both in my home directory for my own ease of updates and portability. I get releases from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/ in tarball formats which install in 30 seconds. I recently ran into a problem which I've not seen before. recent d/l of firefox-136.0.tar.xz for linux-x86_64. It crashed immediately with err 126. The ff.exe and ff.bin files were for ARM arch. This wasn't easy to locate and I think it was caught but anyone still headscratching may want to see if this is an issue - I had a good 136 on a laptop and overwrote bad install on desktop.

problem will have one forever until you stop claiming new update no not adding new stupid things like weather

you just know we will find make add on or about config find how to remove disable your new crappy no good wasted effort weather you added all your new adding that ill just turn every update ability off in firefox not trust you will be posting these claims your updates not real junk way to add stupid things not needed waste effort ever make it let me be in charge there for one day ill fire every firefox builder had any part of making claim update really just adds junk just know ill check for firefox updates every 6 months otherwise be turned off you not trustworthy these actions may lose millions of firefox users may go different keep playing about updates update make browser go up in level not add new stuff like weather that unneeded unwanted waste of time to make it why make something added to new update let those things be if someone wants a addon for weather

I want to downgrade to a previous version without having to create a new profile. I don't want the Firefox logo on the default new tab page, and I tried to change it in the about:config list but that didn't work even after a complete computer restart. It worked in the previous version. I do not want to create a new profile. My current one is just fine. How can I do that? Thank you!

Thank you for considering a new feature. However, this feature of a new sidebar is in the way on my screen. I have it setup for use in a very specific way. Adding a sidebar that I cannot turn off without going into "about:config" is a very bad idea. It made a mess of my space. Yes, even that 1/2 inch of space messed up my spacing. Please ask in the future before making any changes that alter the size and width of my screen space. It's already jammed for work.

I saw an option for donations here. If you ask before making anything that alters the screen layout, I'd be willing to make a donation. But this was just upsetting and has stolen over 20 minutes of my work day. I don't have that kind of time, especially with my colleague out on medical leave for possibly months.

1. I downloaded the latest Firefox from Mozilla official website, installed the app, made sure I can see the Firefox app in my applications. I start using the app. 2. Everything will be fine for a few days (say 1 week or 10 days) and one fine day, the browser stops working. Even google.com doesn't open. 3. I quit Firefox and try to re-start it. I cannot find Firefox in my system. It just disappeared. I cannot find in my applications. The search doesn't show Firefox.

I re-install by going back to step #1

This has happened not one time but many times. I searched if others have this issue but did not find anything that i could use. Hence posting this question here.

I have Firefox installed on a lot of other Macbook pros in my home, no other system has this issue. I don'ty understand what is happening. Just wanted to get some guidance in resolving this issue.

Thanks _Krishna

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?
