A file called 'Pending Pings' appeared within the folder in which my Firefox installation is located. I last used Firefox on May 14, 2025. I don't know how it appeared as I disabled automatic updates and made it so it would ask me if I wanted an update, so I do not know why it is.

If I want to quickily CHECK if my version is or needs updatign hoover over uri for say 3 seconds activates info as uri fades info bar shows version and update button is availiable to updat on right side of bar.... FOR A BONUS on left side of bar in url area top common Local host shortcuts say localhost:3001 or just as :3001 :3002 :3003 or even better just the ones it knows are running so its liek no local host detected running or :3002 and :4003 with click options to auto url .... BUt wait theirs MORE dont was the MIDDLE middle router. no not that kind Middle of uRL is a router icon X over it no router detect router icon Clickable. But GIVE YA A GUESS WHAT THIS FUTURISTIC gadget doies Goes to you local router page WOW did I just solve 3 of the BIGGES smallest laziest issues of mankind meh nah but its a start.

And i dont even whatn tthe GOLD just give the the goods.

Or else. I go back to google. Anyways thanks I already made it but thought you would like to know as it should be on all, no code for you its not rocket science... hmm rockets. GTG just got an idea. Good Luck id refresh but how. Must be lazy....

I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

How should I fix the frozen browser. Firefox updated ok from another user account on this computer, though Firefox has always updated for all accounts on the computer when updated from any of the accounts. The installer tool got caught in a loop to install until it froze the browser on the third retry. What should I do?

Hi Just setting up a new Surface Pro/Windows 11 and installed Firefox from Mozilla page. Firefox install completed with a crash report and has never actually run since. Every time I launch I get the app crash window. I've tried running in troubleshooting mode but same app crash. I also note that the crash reports do not get uploaded.

I have uninstalled/re-installed and also tried a fresh install but always the same issue. I also downlaoded the full installer.

Thanks for your help

I have a new Chromebook, having previously used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I have loaded Linux onto my Chromebook and now have installed Firefox and Thunderbird but I can't get my email account loaded onto Thunderbird. I receive a message as follows: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration" I'm sure that I have entered the correct details. I was offered the chance to scan a QR code but that option doesn't seem to be there anymore. (The Chromebook doesn't have a front camera but it will lie flat so I was going to be able to use it)
