Hi, I've recently managed to re-install version 102.15.1 on my laptops and desktop as I hated 115 with a passion. I'd also had microsoft making my life hell with their OAUTH and cookies shenanigans. I could only access my outlook/hotmail accounts by using outlook in a browser which I really hate and is why I started using Thunderbird years ago. Anyhoo, since I managed to install 102.15.1 again and sort out microsofts problem I've found that my address books have disappeared. I've seen answers to other peoples problems mentioning profiles etc. but that just baffles me. I just want my address books back, ( both collected and personal ) as it makes it so much easier when addressing emails to just type the first couple of letters and then choose from the results rather than having to ytype the complete address. So if any can help I'll really appreciate it, Thanks. Alf J alf.j.slawson@outlook.com

I cannot open firefox. The error box says that the platform version 130.0.1 is not compatible with the maxversion 130.0 or the minversion 130.0. It looks as if the upgrade to 130.0.1 was incomplete. I need to have this fixed

In the past on this web page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ there used to be a link to see what was updated in each new release.

It's gone!

Can you please bring it back? If not, where can I find what's update in each new release?

Found the release info here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/desktop-release/win64/en-US/

I have a macbook pro m2 and use firefox nightly. Today my firefox has been updated and after that a lot of resources have gone: there is no more plus button to open a new tab, bookmarks are not being displayed in the bookmark bar anymore. I can't find its version, there is no about or similar feature to check what the current version is.

Hello, I have had to re-install Thunderbird after a disastrous upgrade to a more recent macOS, and subsequent downgrade. I thought that all my information would be preserved in the various Time Machine backups that I have made. However, all of my local folders containing 18 years' of email correspondece have disappeared. I can only view emails which are stored on the remote IMAP server. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, John.

I have just run the latest update to 130.01.

For some reason the update has errored FF and when I try and launch I get the the below error messages.

FF cannot load, not even in Safe Mode, so I am a bit stuck.

Does anyone have a solution to this please?

Thank you in advance.

Many of Linux Distributions take firefox binaries from https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/ as given in the Mozilla Knowlege Base Article Install Firefox on Linux. In this article there is a option to Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions.

However the binaries and libraries that are hosted in Firefox repositories are not compiled with the PIE/PIC flag. That prevents Firefox browser from using ASLR capabilities and to a large degree prevent Buffer overflows attacks. Please refer to the output given below for more details.

$ file -e elf /opt/firefox/firefox /opt/firefox/firefox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) $ $ readelf -h /opt/firefox/firefox ELF Header:

 Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 
 Class:                             ELF64
 Data:                              2's complement, little endian
 Version:                           1 (current)
 OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
 ABI Version:                       0
 Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)
 Machine:                           Advanced Micro Devices X86-64
 Version:                           0x1

The output of the first command is ELF 64-bit LSB executable, which indicates that it is not a PIE executable. If it had been a PIE executable then it would have been ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable. Similarly the output of the second command has a Key, Type, whose value is EXEC (Executable file). However for a PIE binary the value would be DYN (Position-Independent Executable file).

Can Mozilla please compile the binaries and shared libraries with the PIE/PIC flag and then host them in its repositories? Many of Linux Distros do not have the bandwidth to take the source and compile binaries for different architects and are dependent on Mozilla to provide the same. Doing so would be appreciated and would help in enhancing safety of Linux users who use Firefox as their primary browser.

PIE = Position Independent Executable PIC = Position Independent Code ASLR = Address Space Layout Randomisation. PIC and PIE are used interchangeably and imply the same thing.

On fresh Firefox install that I setup using [https://mozilla.github.io/policy-temp.../#preferences|preferences] Which is option to disable those default ads?

Namely: twitter, youtube, facebook, Wikipedia and reddit.

I know I can do it manually with 5 x 2 clicks but that's 10 click every time I install browser.

Image showing YouTube as example what I want to get rid of.
