When I see a message to update, I always do it immediately. A few weeks ago during an update the browser disappeared and wouldn't launch. I had no option but to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller Pro.

When I installed again, I signed in and immediately selected sync and all my bookmarks were recovered but also Chrome bookmarks which I want to keep separately. No complaint, I just deleted all those Chrome bookmarks.

Had to install all my Browser extensions. I have whitelisted a few websites to save cookies from those special websites like online Banking and got an auto popup message "You are using an untrusted browser"

I had to use my phone to get a code from the Bank to continue. I use Biometrics to log into my Bank accounts and also many other websites I have installed on my phone.

Then I got another message and email from the Banks verifying I have a Trusted Browser.

Firefox is my default browser on my phone and my Laptop and always will be. Thanks for allowing me to write this message. I want to confirm this is not a complaint.

Why hasn't firefox 147.0.4 updated to firefox 148 ? The computer is windows 10 home 64 bit that is enrolled in extended security updates. The update has been released a few days ago I believe, in Canada,also I;m wondering if there is a button that is available in "about:config" that forces a update check. Thanks James

I am currently using Windows 11 (64 bit). I have installed Firefox in a separate drive instead of Local C to save space. Now that I have done so, the automatic update fails often which causes me to try and find the custom installation on the Firefox download page. I use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/custom-installation-firefox-on-windo... page to try to find the correct installer.

Unfortunately, the download page that I was directed to, I can't seem to find the custom installation setup. When I click download, it keeps giving me the automatic Firefox Installer and proceeds to add Firefox on my C drive rather than the Mozilla Firefox Setup Wizard.

Can someone kindly direct me to where I can download the Mozilla Firefox Setup Wizard to update Firefox?

The task name is:

  • "Firefox Default Browser Agent 308046B0AF4A39CB"

It runs at 10:07 every day. The command line from task scheduler is:

  • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\default-browser-agent.exe

Command Line Arguments:

  • do-task "308046B0AF4A39CB"

It reports that the version of the browser is wrong and that my profile was used with a later version of Firefox. But everything works just fine so how do I fix this error?

When I open FF I get the message "Update available. FF couldn't update automatically. Download the new version - you won't lose saved information or customizations. < download > < dismiss >." When I click "help > about", the message box says I'm on the latest version of FF for my Windows 7 computer, 115.32.0esr (32-bit). I understand I need a new computer and that Mozilla isn't providing more updates to those of us left behind. However, I don't recall ever getting messages telling me to download a version when there wasn't an update that I could actually install on my current hardware and OS. Am I missing something by not doing the download to which reference is being made in the cited recurrent message? Can I expect to get this non-actionable "Update available" message from now on?

So I guess my Firefox update to ver. 147 from 146 by its auto update feature, but I realized all the past personal data (ie, history, cookies, passwords, profile, etc) was gone.

I have Mozilla Account (I think it's the same as Firefox Account back in the old days), so my personal data is now retrieved from some device as far as possible, but I lost local personal settings like Shortcuts on the main page on my laptop,p which is the main device to do everything.

I can't help what happened to me, and I will rebuild what I used to be on that day, but I am curious if it's just me, or there is some logic to cause this data loss.

Hello, I am still running an old WIn 7 media center because I have applications I need that are no longer supported elsewhere. Firefox ESR has been working just fine up until the most recent update - which repeatedly fails to install each time I start Firefox. Is there a location where this update resides? If so may I know this location and procedure to eliminate this errant update? Thanks!
