Hello I am using the settings "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" which has worked for me over many years. The last moths or so I've noticed that the Firefox desktop installation is very nagging about the pending updates that are available. Nagging starts emedietly when browser is opened, and although I klick it away, it keeps reappearing a lot during use. This is VERY annoying, and I would very much like for this behaviour to stop. It is more than enough info to get the "reminder" once per session.

Thank you very much! Sincerely PL

My Firefox program was recently re-installed by Dell. But it seems to be an older version and among other things I can't find my bookmark toolbar. So I'm hoping that updating Firefox will solver this problem.

Dell recently re-installed my Firefox program but it seems to be an older version. Although I can find my bookmarks the bookmark toolbar is gone and that was a very handy feature. How do I update the program and get my toolbar back?

Firefox upon launc advised installing updates and then all my desktop flashed. I had no installations planned or done. Is this malware or real?

See the subject. I've been seeing delays in launching for several months. I've run several windows defender malware checks (full and the one where it runs outside of anything brought up). I've reset firefox. I did all this also because I was seeing random ads from a news site from what they were trying to get me to do was install macafee (but it's malware). While I'm not seeing those ads now and I'm suspicious they can from the news site vs. my browser, I'm very aware of anything trying to capture screen scrapes. I'm even considering changing all my passwords as I'm not sure if anything was captured. This morning, firefox upon launch took a long time. Then it said installing updates. My desktop flashed and firefox launched. I have not installed anything or any addons, extensions, etc. So either this was firefox doing an update it needed or it's something else. I'm on windows 10.

FireFox Browser messed up my Internet Download Manager and made it impossible to copy and paste from MS WORD to my emails. Once I uninstalled IDM, I was able to copy and paste. I could not even open a picture in another TAB as before. So the browser was updated and messed everything up. I tried the MS EDGE browser, and it functioned like FireFox browser use to as of today.

Firefox keeps making me restart nearly every day. I had a form I was trying to fill out and because of the restart I lost it 4 times! How many updates are you doing "in the background" that opening a new tab tells me to restart and then I lose stuff. Surely you are not updating every day.

weekly a popup msg appears about an update having started and asking me to close firefox instead of opening a new tab.

a,most weekly when I try to open a new tab I'm told an update started in the background and I need to restart firefox to continue working. I can't open any new tabs or go to a new website unless I restart. Is there a way to run updates on MY Schedule rather than having this happen. a notice that an update is ready to be installed rather than per-emotively just starting one would be polite and appreciated.. Just 'starting' it in the background without telling me makes you guys look like Microsoft rather than Mozilla.

Hallo zusammen, ich benötige dringend Unterstützung bezüglich des Standardprofils in Firefox. Bei einigen Mitarbeitern wird jeden Tag nach dem Neustart das Neuanlegen des Profils verlangt. Ich habe die alten Profile über about:profiles gelöscht und neue angelegt. Firefox habe ich auch deinstalliert und neu installiert, aber das brachte keine Lösung. Am nächsten Tag ist das Profil wieder defekt und es erscheint folgende Nachricht:


You've launched an older version of Firefox

Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox.

Exit Create New Profile


Wir benutzen die aktuellste Firefox-Version 113 und setzen keine Roaming-Profile ein. Es handelt sich um eine Domänenumgebung, in der mit GPOs gearbeitet wird, jedoch ohne spezifische Einstellungen für Firefox. Hat jemand mehr Erfahrung und weiß, woran es liegen könnte? Vielen Dank an alle!

All this information about changes coming in July is thoroughly confusing to me. All I want to do is to continue is to to use Firefox as I have for the about the last 20 years. What if I don't do anything, will I still Have normal access? I am 83 years old and definitely not a techie. Just not interested in making changes unless someone leads me through them in simple steps.

I am repeatedly getting this pop up window after starting my computer and selecting the Firefox icon in the toolbar to start the browser. When using the Firefox browser I always update Firefox when prompted, so it should be the latest version, unlike what it states in the popup window. If I want to use the browser, I have to sign in to the browser and sync my data and I have to re load all my tabs from my history. It is time consuming to the point where my colleagues who were using Firefox have uninstalled Firefox and are now using a different browser. I could do the same...but I want a solution. I'm using Windows 11.

Hi!

I have not thought about changes to Firefox and after speaking to someone I found out a potential change that I was not aware of.

I have not been able to find a definitive (except AI generated) answer to confirm or deny his claim that Firefox switched over to Chrome/Chromium's web engine.

My understanding is that they have always used their own being a FOSS alternative to major brands.

I use 133.0.3 (64bit) Mozilla Firefox for Arch Linux archlinux - 1.0 (right now but updates are very common)

Am I in reality using Chrome/Chromium just in different clothes, or is this still the same FOSS Firefox that I have been using for years?

As a side note, I did find out that the coding for Extensions/Add-ons have been updated to reflect the way that they are coded from Chrome/Chromium but that is not enough to give me a definitive answer as to the underlying interface.
