January 5, 2025

Why did Firefox update my windows 7 system without my permission even though Updates were turned off due to using Windows 7 . Consequently important desktop weblinks were lost. But also importantly, I don't like this desktop version of firefox that I did not request. I use to be able to store frequently used web links in a far right column underneath the 3 hashmarks on the top right. Now these valuable links are LOST due to your updating without my permission...What options are open to restore those web links ?

Am I understanding that firefox will update without users permission though updates are turned off ? Please respond. Because, if firefox does not honor users wishes, how can we have any confidence in you ? Yes, I am upset that you over rode my setting that turned off updates due to using Windows 7. Is this your policy to ignore users wishes and settings without an explanation prior to forced windows updates ? Please Respond to the email listed below. I'll await your explanation of why you over-ride users instructions...rjk

My desktop PC is Windows 7 32-bit with Firefox version 84 = old version. But in Firefox "About Firefox" it says "Firefox is up to date with version 84. Need to install version 115 ESR for 32-bit tonight as some support is ending starting tomorrow. It was set to "check for updates but let me choose to install them". I unchecked that. Still says version 84 Firefox is "up to date". My sister used to handle software on this PC but she died and I'm just getting to this between estate paperwork. Apologize for the last minute request. Is there some other setting that could stop an update? Should I close all Firefox windows and re-open them? I found a "download ESR 32-bit" button on a Mozilla help article page, but it wanted me to decide where to save and .exe file and I wasn't sure if that determines where the program would go or if it would be a new installation and lose the existing setting. I understand an upgrade of Firefox should keep the settings. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Almost every time I open Firefox it asks to update. I always say yes. After the update, it can't open any sites. Sometimes I get a message saying Firefox is already open. When I check the Task Manager, there are usually several instances of Firefox open. After ending all open Firefox's, I still can't open sites, it just runs until it times out. If I run a registry cleaner, and delete any bad registry entries, then Firefox will load sites. I feel like my Firefox may be corrupted and entering bad registry code. Is there a 'fix' I can run to correct these errors, or should I delete my Firefox and download a new copy. This problem started a few updates ago. I have the most current copy of Firefox, Version 133.0.3 (64-bit). I am running it on:

Device name LAPTOP-C2UVEEFH Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 12.0 GB (11.9 GB usable) Device ID A5C7A4A4-F05C-488D-83A2-151AC8C536DC Product ID 00325-80064-27654-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points

Thank you for any suggestions you can give me, Jerre Johnson jerrej1950@verizon.net

Firefox 78 Update message

Hi,

I am using Firefox 78.15.0esr (64-bit) on a 16+ year old MacMini with el Capitan. I use it for various low performance use cases like playing music, and for testing the performance of my webapplications on old hardware, using outdated software

Reading the attached message (and followed up information page), I understand that I can still use this version of Firefox. But that all add-ons will be disabled in two months. Which is very upsetting to say the least. Why is a stand-alone add-on that doesn't communicate with an outside server being disabled?

Given that I run an unsupported(?) version of MacOS which I can not upgrade, I won't be able to update Firefox to the version that is being suggested. This means that Mozilla (the party that I've always cheered on for its vision), now remotely limits my access to the internet because of a certificate that they used in the development of the software becomes obsolete. This is a move that I'd expect from Google, Microsoft or Apple, but not from Mozilla.

Could someone with a more technical background explain me how such a certificate is related/integrated in the build of Firefox (78). I mean, why isn't it possible to re-build the project with a newer root certificate, given all of the source files are online: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.0/ ?

I got a notification a few weeks ago about my current version of Firefox becoming redundant at some point this year. Unfortunately because I was rushing around that day, I saw the pop up and immediately closed it.

I've looked online and saw that I should be able to update from the burger stack menu but it's giving me nothing to update to.

No downloadable programs online either.

I've now started seeing errors appearing on sites like Amazon Video saying my browser is no longer supported.

I would really prefer to keep using this browser but I'm not getting any information on how to keep it.

FF is my default browser. My computer is a new iMac (M3) desktop. I have used FF for several years without incident, until today. It opened normally, and then the familiar update pop-up said an update was available and invited me to re-start the browser. That requires providing admin credentials to the "Install the 'Helper tool' " pop-up, which I have done every time without incident, until today. A follow-on pop-up then asked if I wanted to allow Firefox to access other apps and devices, which I had never seen before. I said "No", and that was the end of my FF browsing experience. Every time I try to start the FF browser, it wants me to try to install the Helper tool; I provide admin creds, it goes away (fails), and the browser never starts.

I have a lot of bookmarked URLs and other browser-related data that are extremely important, and I cannot afford to lose them. Used Safari & Google & Mozilla helped me learn the location of the FF "Profile" folder. Navigated there and copied/pasted it (ends in ".default-release") to my "Documents" folder as a back-up copy. Downloaded a new instance of FF from Mozilla download page. Didn't open. Went to download folder, clicked the .dmg file, which opened a small pop-up. Followed the instructions to hold down the CTRL key while clicking "Eject Firefox". Nothing productive happened (no new FF icon). The old icon in the dock still doesn't start the app.

Would it be useful at this point to un-install Firefox (in Applications) and then try again to download a new version? If so, I would need help on how to make the old Profile folder (the back-up copy) available to the new instance.

Thank you very much.
