So I guess my Firefox update to ver. 147 from 146 by its auto update feature, but I realized all the past personal data (ie, history, cookies, passwords, profile, etc) was gone.

I have Mozilla Account (I think it's the same as Firefox Account back in the old days), so my personal data is now retrieved from some device as far as possible, but I lost local personal settings like Shortcuts on the main page on my laptop,p which is the main device to do everything.

I can't help what happened to me, and I will rebuild what I used to be on that day, but I am curious if it's just me, or there is some logic to cause this data loss.

Greetings, Team. When Firefox does an Auto-update while starting, an error message arrives, " NSIS Error:

Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid.

OK " Please, where and what name does this 'temp folder' have?

How may I fix this Error?

Thank y'all in advance. Phil T. ps W10, Chkdsk OK, system appears OK.

В России блокируют Firefox, по этому авто обновления не устанавливаются, я бы хотел получить ip и url серверов от куда скачиваются обновления. Это поможет обойти блокировку и восстановить работу firefox в России

I have the latest version of Firefox. I still keep getting the prompts to download the latest version. When I go to system info, it shows I have the latest version it is asking me to download. When I do a manual search for the latest version, it always says it failed to search for the latest download.

at present it is 32bit Llnux Firefox ChaletOS. It appears it wants 64bit Linux but every time it only allows me access to 32bit version which tells me is out of date. What is happening?

Mozilla support articles frequently state that Firefox does not use popups for browser updates. However, I periodically receive popups from the toolbar stating that Firefox couldn't update automatically. The attached picture is an example from the web but looks just like the popups I receive. The issue typically either resolves itself or I download from the Firefox website and reinstall. In a rush/moment of weakness, I recently clicked the link in the popup. It took me directly to the Firefox website where I regrettably downloaded and updated the browser. I've since run multiple Norton and Malwarebytes scans, which have found no issues. It may be a difference in the definition of popups (from the toolbar vs within a browser page)... Is this a legitimate update message from Firefox? If it is not, are there any other steps I should take (e.g., reinstall Firefox)? I appreciate your help!

can you help? Firefox was updating my machine. As I remember it asked if I wanted to add  ??( I don't know) Android  ????? I didn't think I wanted it so I thought it was over and I stopped. Now I can't get Firefox -- can you help me?

For past few weeks, Whenever I try to update FFX on windows 11, it fails. It takes me to another screen and tells me to download Firefox. When I try to download it , it aborts with this message.

"download.mozilla.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site."

To download Firefox with new version I have to use another browser but no choice. Then with new version of Firefox, I have faced the same issue of update and used same approach to update firefox to a newer version.

This error appears for some google sites as well but the same occurring for firefox download site itself is not understood.

I have taken the position of never installing updates of firefox in windows 10 because of the following: after EVERY update, within 20 minutes of activity my mouse freezes. Keyboard is inactive. I have no option but to reboot. Windows displays "repair mode" 2 HOURS LATER ! the pc finally boots. This happens after EVERY upgrade. Since I have stopped upgrading, the pc behaves.

HERE'S HOW I SOLVED THIS "SECURE CONNECTION FAILED" ISSUE:

Kept getting this error when attempting to update Firefox; didn't matter which browser I used; went through the forum postings and tried every this-and-that-and-this-and-that posted there; didn't work; finally --

i opened a $10.00 30-day hotspot account with Xfinity, and the download worked perfectly.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

I’ve been using version 68.12.0 for a long time and now want to update to a newer version. Since I have many important tabs saved, I’d prefer not to uninstall and reinstall the app to perform the update. However, when I tried updating to versions like 80.1.2 or 110.0.1 from the Google Play Store or GitHub, the installation failed, and my phone displayed an "App not installed" error.

Could you advise which version I should install to successfully upgrade from 68.12.0? Alternatively, if there’s a way to export or back up the tabs in this version, that would also solve my problem—though I haven’t found a method to do so for this specific version.
