I look after about 20 PCs. All Windows 10. All were running Firefox ESR ranging from 115 - 128. As I get time I update each to the latest 128.x. Using group policies I've disabled all update settings.

However, on two of the PCs, they have updated to v139.0.1. Both of the users swear they did not manually do any update. I can't figure out how they got downgraded to the retail channel.

So my question is, since 128 < 139 how can I get them back on to the ESR channel, without loosing history, bookmarks, passwords and saved logins? I gather FF's installer will detect 128 as an older version and throw an error?

ESR -> Retail to me is a downgrade. So is it possible then to upgrade back to 128.11.x?

Each PC is refreshed annually and the only backup of the profile folder I have is from the last refresh, which in most cases in 8-9 months old.

Is there any way to find out why the downgrade happened when group policy forbids it, and the user did not manually download and install the latest version?

When these downgrades happen they break things. For example, when one PC was downgraded to retail his outlook.com email no longer works. If he uses his laptop which is on 128.11.0 it works fine.

Forum users : Gmail on my Windows 10 PC runs very slowly when the Lastpass extension is enabled. This ONLY happens with Gmail. In fact I get an alert that Lastpass is slowing down Firefox. Gmail is fine when the extension is removed. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so have you found a solution other than removing the Lastpass extension?

Thanks!

Until recently Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab have work perfectly. Now they do not work at all. Ctrl+Page Up (and Down) works fine.

I have used safe mode, rebooted the computer, checked the general settings in Firefox and the problem persists. What can be done to resolve this?

"autofill logins & passwords"

Recently firefox updated to v139.0.4 (64bit) after the update I disabled "autofill logins & passwords" but every time I turn on the pc the username/login, on webpages (amazon,facebook. webmail), populates the field.

I never had this issue until the update, previous version "autofill logins & passwords" has always been disabled ie never shows...

I do NOT want the logon info for "autofill logins & passwords" populated...
