Firefox Community Forum

Hello.

The problem i am having with several latest versions of firefox just on my desktop version is that it always no matter which search engine i am using it forces the websites to switch to dark mode. i have checked the settings several times and in General , Language and appearance , i have put it in light mode and it didn't help, i have put it in automatic mode and even though my system is in light mode and it's morning it didn't help either i have uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla over and over again and it didn't help either.

Hi Forum! My Firefox is constantly (weekly) asking to update, even though we're on the latest version (right now we're on 138.0.1 (64-bit) I've reinstalled Firefox a couple times but the issue still persists. I'm not sure what my next steps would be.

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your knowledge and time!

I used to use firedfox years ago but switched like many to chrome when it became popular, I then moved to Edge which i prefered and used for many years now due to Chrome planning to block adverts I decided to give firefox another try, I am finding Firefox a delight to use and wish i had switched back years ago however having watched many review videos before installing it it would seem the majority believe it'll soon be over for firefox and we will all be stuck with no option but to use a chrome based browser, i hope this is not the case.

Do those that use it reglarly believe the time may be up or is there is life in the old dog yet?

Hello,

It's safe to say that Mozilla is not heading in the right direction, with each FF release things are gradually getting worse and worse (example: the removal of the search bar ENTER key function, and the recent change of terms that allows mozilla to harvest user data through FF). Optimally, the user would be allowed go back to an older release, but with downgrades come the loss of profile ... etc, which is why I chose to simply stop updating FF completely. Not an ideal situation, but there's no telling what else Mozilla is going to f up in the next hour, week or months.

I thought my troubles were over, except there's now the added nag message, it shows up every few minutes, every time i start the browser, even starting private browsing window will activate the update prompt message. it's tedious having to press "dismiss" 20 times a day, the message itself imposes on page content, and can't be disabled by clicking outside the message box. I've already went into configuration, and activated the silent update message option, but to my amazement, the message came back again in a few hours, and the option was flipped back off.

how do i get rid of this message once and for all? and before mozilla staff clarifies how stupid it is to turn off updates, i understand the risks of my own stupidity, i just don't want to put up with mozilla's.

КАК ЗАПРЕТИТЬ ВАШЕЙ НЕДОДЕЛАННОЙ ПРОГЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ В САМЫЕ НЕПОДХОДЯЩИЕ МОМЕНТЫ, ДА И ВООБЩЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ?! Сегодня угробила два часа на сочинение текста (копипаст в окно не работает), мозилла подтянула какой то говносервис с переводом страницы ... и потеряла мою авторизацию. И это не первое неудобство!

I need to increase free space on my computer so that I can complete my tax declaration. Unfortunately, when I check the update status I am told that I cannot update to macOS Big Sur from Macintosh HD...

I'm done with Firefox. Suddenly this past few months more than once a week I'm getting the "Restart to continue using Firefox" because of updates. This is annoying and unnecessary for every update they push. It's a browser, that's all. The restarts can wait until I feel like closing or when I update Linux and restart the laptop.

Can't even open a new tab when this happens.

The updates cannot be THAT critical that work is halted.

I use Debian Linux as my workhorse. I accept what Firefox derivatine is supported by Debian. Nevr bother to upgrade or sign up (wish to be annonymous not for any political reason but my nature). I am very opn in the WWW. Use Google's Blog spot. By the way I use many browsers including Falko, Dillo and Epiphany. My Question is Do I have to Upgrade Firefox and Regiser with Firefox evry time I upgrade ?

Hi, upon seeing that Firefox 138 was available, I was surprised to see that my version of Firefox is still on 136. I'm on Kubuntu Oracular (24.10) and using the PPA at https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu oracular InRelease. After checking https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and filtering for the different Ubuntu releases, it seems that both Noble and the newer Plucky have 138 available, but Oracular didn't even get 137.

Is there a reason for this?

My computer will likely update to 25.04 in the relatively near future (there is currently an updater bug that's delaying the rollout), but I'm still curious why this is two versions behind.
