Firefox gemenskapsforum

Hi there, I'm trying to make a little old machine useful it is an HP mini (Laptop) with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz and 2GB of RAM; it appears the firefox version is too old to install some extensions/add-on like uBlock... I don't want to throw it in the trash; any recommendation please?

I update software on a regular schedule, and would prefer to not have Firefox (136.0) nag every few minutes that I'm not on the latest and greatest. 120.0.1 only nags a little. How can I turn the nagging totally off?

I added the following to `~/firefox/distribution/policies.json`, but it didn't help.

``` {

   "policies": {
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true, "DisableTelemetry": true, "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true, "AppAutoUpdate": false,

   }   

} ```

Ever since the Firefox 136.0.1 upgrade our Firefox icon to connect to Firefox will not work. It just spins out. Do we have to re-install Firefox and in so doing lose our bookmarks? Thanks

I am not an IT expert and find it difficult to understand the procedure in upgrading Firefox as directed by continuous log in directives I can not get rid of upgrade notice no matter what i try. So please stop sending this information to my computer. Kind Regards Stephen Boulton lstboulton@gmail.com

Hi, firefox deleted my history after an update. The only browsing history i have left is yesterday and today since after the update. My bookmarks and the session i was in were still there.

I only have one profile. i dont have a index.dat file unter C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. Any data recovery tools cannot find one either. about:cache only shows me the history after the update.

I dont know what to do and now i've lost my history of the last about 8 years. Does anyone have an idea?

I was told the future updates are going to eliminate something that I count on which is being able to copy without site tracking. How far into the updates can I go without losing that? My privacy is important to me so I need to be able to still do what I want to do. That's why I am really paranoid about updating at all!... plus updates have never been a friend to me.🤐

Hi everyone I have Firefox 110. My husband installed it on my laptop. He died 2 years ago :( It does not automatically update. I can't update because I don't have his administrator password. Or any other useful passwords :( And I have never done anything geekish before; I am only a user. Please can anyone explain in words my mother would understand what to do with the Firefox 136 .tar file. Or even better how to work around permissions so I can get automatic updates. Pete and I worked together well to set up www.pcurtis.com but I never learned the systems stuff - I never needed to when he was alive. I am a retired academic. Anyone in the Oxford UK area who could help would be really useful. As an emergency I have just started to use the Opera browser he installed but I have no passwords for that either.... Pauline

Hi,

For the past few weeks (or more) Firefox will not start up in one of my Mac user profiles. Please find attached a screenshot of the dialog it shows when I try to start it up.

I forget what happened, but I think it has to do with an update to macOS and (perhaps) not agreeing to all security measures that Firefox asked for…

For now, I’m working in DuckDuckGo in this user profile, but I thought I’d ask in case anybody can save me the research time to figure this out on my own.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I keep getting notifications that I need to update Firefox before the 14th to continue using it. I clicked on the link and downloaded Linux 64 bit (I did some research and I'm pretty sure this is the correct version for my pc), but it just went to the downloads section in the top right of my screen and now I can't figure out what to do next. I'm not very good with computers, so please make your answers as dumbed down as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

I have been instructed to update by March 14th. I have complied, but am still receiving the instruction to update, and have now been told I must update or lose the service. I have updated over and over again

Seriously? How many updates do you need? We're getting what... 1-2 per week? That's some smegging awful coding. Why not do something mildly intelligent that makes it look like your software isn't full of crap, like only putting in /at most/ one update a month? 1-2 a week makes Mozilla look worst than a Mickey Mouse operation. Hell, worse than a Betty Boop. Unless there's some super-critical omega-level security hole that needs to be plugged, you shouldn't have to have me update my browser more than twice a year.

Show some sense already.
