Hello, I've only recently started using Firefox and the browser used to update automatically, however, today, I got a pop-up message asking me to update it. It was from "Mozilla Corporation", plus at that time the browser was working extremely slow, which that got me thinking that maybe it wasn't working efficiently due to not being updated. So, I ran the program and installed the update, and later, on visiting this page, I got to know that most of such pop-ups are malwares. I got extremely scared and decided to search the update history of the browser.

It said the following:

"Firefox 100.0 Installed on: (today's date) Status: The update could not be installed (patch apply failed)."

This confused me further as I don't know if what I installed was a malware program or a genuine update.

Could you please help me out ?

I have Mozilla Firefox version 99.0 and version 100.0 listed in "Apps and Features." Firefox 99.0 4/5/2022 330MB Firefox 100.0 5/3/2022 207MB Can I safely uninstall version 99.0?

Hackers will be very happy now that Firefox automatically download their malware and backdoors. Thanks to Firefox, hackers will be able to infect millions of world computers and install ransomware and make havoc i financial, health, and other industries. Firefox will forever be praised by cybercriminals of the world.

PLEASE help me find a way around this 'so called' improvement of auto downloading any attachment or file to my Downloads folder without any choice from me. I have checked the 'always ask' in General settings - this functionality DOES NOT WORK - IT IS A waste of time. When prompt asks what you want to do, it auto downloads IN THE BACKGROUND even if you say open and do NOT check save option. This is a MAJOR frustration, makes extra work for me to have to remember to go back to Downloads to delete all these files that just pile up, where I separately saved-off the file as usual to my other, separate intended directory. We should have the right to make that decision on whether or not we want to save it to our computers and take up space. PLEASE REVERSE THAT FUNCTIONALITY TO WHAT IS WAS BEFORE. THANK YOU>

Its not really a migration question but can be helpful to those who wish to mange their stuff without the use of other people's computers(the cloud).

I would like to turn all my addons into a text or html file of links or names. Why? The addons are going wonky again a few folders seem to be walmare but not reporting to be malware, its a huge pita to , manually write down each one. Basically, I need to nuke my install and reinstall it all fresh then reinstall all my addons. This is no easy feat when you use 20+ addons. And yes this seems to happen regularly after a couple of years.

Another question, If I sync'd just the addons would it let give me the addons fresh from the file repository without anything extra folders/files or will it just save my current addon folder corrupt files and all?

Also if I just synced addons it won't mess with my bookmarks or settings, will it?

I am currently encountering a deeply frustrating issue with Firefox. I develop video games; I am attempting to download a zip file from Steam Workshop containing a player-created mod. I have this file on my other computer--it is not malicious. It contains nothing more than XML files and a jpg. Every time I attempt to download this file using Firefox, Firefox blocks the download as a potential security risk. I then click the download manager and tell it to download anyway; Firefox then pretends to complete the download, but in actuality the file remains at 0 bytes and a "part" file is created containing what I can only assume is the actual data.
