I-Firefox Community Forum

Apparently downloads of the Firefox browser are tagged with something called dltoken so Mozilla can count unique installations. How do I verify the authenticity of the download since they don't match the untokened hash checksum?

I know downloads off the ftp site won't have the token, but I installed first and then remembered to check later.

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 11 and installed Firefox onto drive C: of the 1 TB SSD. I then decided to partition the SSD into three drives and put Firefox on the E: drive. After I partitioned the SSD and uninstalled Firefox, I downloaded the Firefox installer from Mozilla, and ran it, but it somehow perceives that I had had Firefox previously installed and only gives me the option of re-installing Firefox at the original (C:) drive location. There is no longer an option in the installer to change the installation location. How can I get around this and re-install Firefox on my E: drive instead of my C: drive?

The installation on my win 11 laptop is doing some odd things (1 - recently lost all extra (unselected) windows on restart, even though set to restore all windows and tabs and 2- opening a new window creates an outdated duplicate of the window I already have open instead of just creating a new window with an empty tab??). So I thought I'd try refreshing it. Well, my "More troubleshooting" page does not have the "Refresh Firefox" button, only the "clear startup cache" appears along with option to run in troubleshooting mode. No Refresh option in teh same page in troubleshooting mode either. I am using the Microsoft Store MSIX installation. I am thinking about uninstalling that one and installing from a Mozilla download instead??

What would be the best way to clean up my installation state since the refresh is not available?

I would like to ask you for supplementing system requirements for Firefox on Linux machines presented on pages like this, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/133.0/system-requirements/ All the requirements shown for Firefox 133 on this page are satisfied in my Linux Fedora 20 with versions of the required libraries updated but Firefox cannot start GUI. As this concerns all Firefox versions newer than Firefox 95 that has the same requirements concerning Linux system and is functional in my system I have filed a bug report to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 Almost immediately I have seen the comment below my report, "Fedora 20 saw its end of life 114 months ago. Nobody cares about supporting Fedora 20 anymore." with status RESOLVED WONTFIX that means, "The problem described is a bug which will never be fixed." This means that some other requirements exist whence maybe a minimal number of Linux distribution should be noted as required for new Firefox versions to work. For "older" Linux users this would save them a lot of time.
