Every once in a while, Firefox stops allowing me to navigate to any new websites, instead giving only a page that says:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

I have automatic updates disabled in Firefox settings, and I have gone into about:config and set app.update.auto.migrated to false, and yet this issue persists. It seems like Firefox is ignoring my preferences. I don't wish to restart Firefox while I'm in the middle of a bunch of work. How can I get past this message and continue using Firefox without restarting? Do I need to delete update files or something?

This random surprise block to my work is ridiculous. We need the flexibility to update/restart Firefox only whenever we're ready to.

I am trying to watch channel 4 but I am told I have to unblock the ad blocker. As far as I know I have never installed an ad blocker - I would not know at all how to do this - I am not very computer knowledgeable....

i have tried to unblock but get nowhere.

Can you help?

Hi,

I'm on the latest version of Firefox for Windows. All my add-ons are outdated but when I click on "Check for Updates" it says there are none available. Setting add-on updates to "default" or "enabled" doesn’t make a difference.

My firewall isn’t blocking any connections (I even tried with it disabled), and Firefox has no other issues.

Any Ideas ?

Win10 Pro 22H2 Firefox 132.0 64 Bits

The last update did something to my search bar. I still have it, but when I click on it, it moves to the upper left corner, prevents me from seeing my tabs, bookmarks etc. How can I disable this annoying change? If someone has the answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Twice now in the past couple of months this has happened to me:

Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not.

EVEN THOUGH in my Firefox settings this is set to no automatic updates.

What is happening?? How do I turn this off! This seems like a virus? Please advise.

Every time I open Firefox recently, and the Yahoo.com web page starts up, I get an annoying prompt from global privacy control, that asks to allow or not allow. IT'S ANNOYING. I went into the settings for that apparent add on feature, that I DIDN'T add, and set all 5 settings to FALSE, but the program still pops up. It ALSO screws up the format of the Firefox web page, and shows the Yahoo News feed totally different and it's also VERY ANNOYING HOW do I totally get rid of the global privacy control? I can select the Firefox settings under security to tell web pages to not sell the info, as far as I know, correct, so I don't need the retarded global add on? ?? I want Firefox news feed like it was before the update. Thank you very much... HOPEFULLY!

This morning I experienced three new things, so I don't know if they are related to the latest update. 1 - My bookmarks were incomplete but I restarted and all of them appear to be restored. 2 - The shield in my toolbar related to trackers was previously always blue and sometimes I had to turn off enhanced browser tracking for websites to appear and function - as with placing orders. Now it is not blue on any site I visit. 3 - There are so many ads now on every page I visit where there were previously none yesterday. Is this related to the time change in most US States? I checked all my settings for ads and privacy and nothing has changed, but these annoying ads are now everywhere. I will add one more issue: the annoying pop up on every page asking me to sign into a google account. I have read the troubleshooting solution but it is for versions of Firefox that existed years ago. Please provide a current solution for the current version of Firefox please.

Hi!

Like the title says, is it normal to call upon the updater.exe under "C:\program files\mozilla firefox" if an automatic update fails to install?

Just went on a limb here and assumed that this was the case, the update log said it failed to apply:

Firefox 132.0.2 (20241110231641) Installed on: 13 November 2024 at 18:52:59 Status: The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

Current version running: 132.0.2 (64-bit), so I assume that the UAC prompt was a fail-safe of some kind?

In older versions, there was an option to refuse updates, disable checking and any reminders.

In new versions, you kind of accidentally removed this option. And now a reminder "update update" and a green indicator regularly pop up in the right corner.

I previously deleted all Mozilla servers through the config file, disabled checking for updates. But it still restored the settings and now offers updates again - which irritates me terribly.

I supported Mozilla for many years and considered this browser to be something conservative, it has always been aloof from cumbersome and spyware browsers like Chrome. But your latest actions are disappointing.

The decision to update or not has always been and will be on the shoulders of the user.

I don't care about security policies, patches or bug fixes\Super new features.

With your actions, you only generate unnecessary negativity and lose the most loyal and old users. Today is the day when this browser will no longer be on my devices, you have achieved your goal - congratulations, you have won.

Hi people,

I have used Firefox for years but after the latest Microsoft Update it no longer starts or runs. Another product, Libre Office, also failed at the same time and I have been unable to resolve that problem either.

I have uninstalled Firefox, downloaded a fresh copy from the Mozilla website and reinstalled it a couple of times but when I click the desktop shortcut nothing happens. I can right click the shortcut and select the "run as administrator" command and something like the Firefox browser opens but all my shortcuts are out of date on it and the browser will not access anything on the net.

I also use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email providor and that is still functioning normally.

Is this some monkey business from Microsoft, a fault in Firefox or a fault somewhere in the inner workings of my computer?

Hi, I avoid updating firefox browser because each time I do it resets all my configuration parameters and uninstalls my plugins. If your product version update could do this without loosing all my setup/configurations I'd be more apt to updating 'promptly'. And, I've tried the 'save your settings' suggestion I've found on the web but that is not convenient so again I avoiding doing this troublesome workaround as I have to 'review/remember how to backup firefox configuration settings each time' and review/remember 'what plugins I've installed' so I can re-install them. Thx Firefox browser user Also, when will the browser be used as simple 'gui' rather than a 'marketing/data spying tool'? I go to the same few websites and don't do any shopping so no need for 'google spying tools' to tell the marketing people to 'what I'm looking for'. I also never, ever click on any web page ads. Please create a browser version with all the underlying 'spying guts' removed, ie a 'simply, safe gui interface' for windows like back in the 1990s.

hello,

is just wanted to know if the new feature "Users in the United States and Canada can view local weather directly on the new tab page. Additionally, they have the option to select a specific location to see current weather conditions.", which was released with the version 130.0 also comes to europe someday?

A while back you had an update that it changed everything that I was seeing on the computer. Example: When I opened Firefox all I could see were "Firef" rather than Foxfire in HUGE letters. I had to change the Zoom to even try to figure out what was going on. You can understand why I have not done an update since then. My question is why should I trust Mozilla Firefox enough to ever upgrade again? What will this one do to change my laptop? BTW this is an HP from only 2022.
