Hi, so i have a question: what are your plans to support windows 10 after 2025? How about windows 10 iot ltsc which is supported until 2032? Will firefox still be supported after 2025 on the iot ltsc version? Or will i have to switch to linux?

Hello,

I'm trying to update to firefox version 133.0. My O.S. is Ubuntu 20.04. I've untarred the tarball to ~/firefox/firefox-133.0/.

If I startup the new firefox, I receive the following error message: "libxul.so, undefined symbol: gdk_window_show_menu".

I also tried firefox version 120.0, except the result was the same.

How can I fix this?

thanks.

A problem with an x.0 version? I've been using FF from "source code" for years on Debian Linux, but this is the first time such an update is failing after the most recent update to v133.0, as illustrated in attached image. How can I now update to the fix for this problem, please?

Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

Like most people, the only reason I stick with this browser is for the ability to set it the way I want. Accepted the "upgrade" to 133 and it screwed my settings. Downgrading did not help. So fed up with this [redacted].

Why is moZilla forcing me to use Google Play Store to download Firefox? I used to be able to go directly to mozilla and get it (and yes i'm talking also about the android version)

I want to update Firefox but also version Firefox-134 causes the same problem as all previous versions newer than Firefox-95: GUI is not started in my Linux system despite all the requirements noted on the Mozilla pages with the release are satisfied. Basing on that I have read and experimented as well as on response to my bug report, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 I suppose that the new versions of Firefox are not able to start GUI using libGL backend GLX and they require LibGL backend EGL only. This requires libEGL version and other associated libraries that are present only in newest versions of Linux distributions like Fedora-41. These new versions are for new hardware and it is pointless to install them on older hardware because they would work probably ineffectively and cause problems. Linux is very customizable and users introduce adjustments and install software created by themselves, for years. That is why an update to radically new version of the Linux distribution is justified after buying a new computer. This would be required for making the Firefox-134 binary provided to run with GUI as well as for possible compiling it from source.

That is why I would like to ask for consideretion of submitting a new version of Firefox binary statically linked (at least the libraries that are required for GUI) so that it will work with GUI on older Linux systems obeying the requirements noted on mozilla pages with Firefox releases, assuming 4-8 GB RAM is available.

In the beginning of January 2025 I have had to set a virtual machine on my host Fedora 20 with Live-Fedora-41 that contained Firefox-131 upadted subsequently to Firefox-134. This way I can use Firefox-134 but having 8 GB RAM that is maximal value of RAM allowed by my computer I had to declare only 4 GB for the virtual machine to enable host Fedora-20 to work normally. However, the 4 GB of RAM is actually a minimum required for effective using of the new versions of Firefox and additionaly, 20 GB of disk space for the virtual machine had to be reserved.

This solution is far not optimal, the VM is mainly for test purposes. Therefore I remain my suggestion noted to above.

I kindly ask all NOT to place here irrelevant, nontechnical comments like the three below from one user; they have their place in general social media.

Firefox updated to 113.0 and moved tabs to top, above the address bar and the bookmark toolbar is now on the bottom under the address bar ... Is there an updated CSS file I can copy that will restore bookmarks toolbar above the address bar and the tabs below the address bar? So the order would be: Menu Bar, Bookmarks Toolbar, Address Bar, then Tabs Bar? This really is hard to work with. Thanks!

Twice now in the past couple of months this has happened to me:

Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not.

EVEN THOUGH in my Firefox settings this is set to no automatic updates.

What is happening?? How do I turn this off! This seems like a virus? Please advise.

PC desktop running Firefox 133 /Ubuntu. (22.0) true or false.............................

even though I completely remove my current version of Firefox and reinstall a new version. my current malware infection will "reinfect" the new install ????????????????????

High, I've used the the 'VideoDownloadHelper' for years whithout any complication. Now, the icon shows no colour anymore, even after a new installation, and so I can't download any video. Can you help me ? Kind regards Michael [edited email from community support forum]

Hi.

Why are there so many updates for Firefox? If signing me out of all my open tabs is for security reasons, then cntl-shft-t defies that purpose? I will just contineu my search for another browser to use instead of Firefox.

Thanks.

Presently my firefox installation is on my C: drive (disk 0), however it tends to be overworked so I want to move my D: drive (disk 1) is there a simply way to this without having to uninstall and then reinstall firefox?
