Today, when I went onto Vanguard, at the top of page it said my browser is not supported. However, Firefox says it is "up to date." It had already been changed to 115.24.0esr, as my macbook uses 10.13.6 High Sierra. Firefox says I am good and supported until August 1, 2025, but I am still getting the non-support message on the Vanguard site. Who is right?

I have windows 10 at moment, but I know I will have to update to winows 11 soon, but I am worried n case I cannot get my Mozilla back again,.

Do I start all over again, or when I update will my laptop still recognise my Mozilla account.

To be honest, I cannot remember my Mozilla password...eeek !! thanfully, my Mozilla did.

I only want Mozilla, I do not use anythng else.

Thank you for you help.

Please indulge this silly question. What possible benefit is there for Mozilla continuing to list this page with the very first, oldest Firefox release at the the top, requiring the user, every time they visit, to scroll to the middle of the page to search out the current latest version instead of having the chronological order from latest to oldest instead?

Heads up for custom installs: running tbird and firefox on linux, I install both in my home directory for my own ease of updates and portability. I get releases from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/ in tarball formats which install in 30 seconds. I recently ran into a problem which I've not seen before. recent d/l of firefox-136.0.tar.xz for linux-x86_64. It crashed immediately with err 126. The ff.exe and ff.bin files were for ARM arch. This wasn't easy to locate and I think it was caught but anyone still headscratching may want to see if this is an issue - I had a good 136 on a laptop and overwrote bad install on desktop.

Why is moZilla forcing me to use Google Play Store to download Firefox? I used to be able to go directly to mozilla and get it (and yes i'm talking also about the android version)

Hi, so i have a question: what are your plans to support windows 10 after 2025? How about windows 10 iot ltsc which is supported until 2032? Will firefox still be supported after 2025 on the iot ltsc version? Or will i have to switch to linux?

I need to reclaim space on my hard drive so I was looking for apps to remove. I noticed that I have two installs of FIrefox. One is listed as "Mozilla Firefox (x64 en-US) (261MB) (2/7/2026)"; in the description area (when you expand the app panel) it says "135.0"; the "Modify" button is grayed out - all I can do is click "uninstall". The other install is listed as "Mozilla Firefox 72.0.2 (x64 en-US) (188MB) (2/23/2024)"; in its description area is lists the version again "72.0.2"; the "Modify" button for it is also grayed out - I can only uninstall.

How do I tell, from the Firefox that I launch from my taskbar or start menu, which one I'm running and which install I can remove?

I'm on a Windows 10 Lenovo Flex 3 laptop.

Hello, Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Can someone please tell me very briefly the steps to switch from the FF 128.8 ESR version to the latest supported regular version, which I believe is FF 136. From my research, it appears that you can download the regular version and go to about:profiles to switch your profile back to your original one used w the ESR version. Please list the very simple steps (1,2,3 etc) to switch from ESR to regular version for a non techie.

My background, I have an older MacBook Pro mid 2015, which had 10.11 installed (El Capitan) and recently took the plunge & updated to Mac OS Monterey (12.7.6), which was the highest allowed for this older MacBook. The new OS is awesome & fixed so many websites that were no longer working.

Firefox automatically moved me to the ESR version at some point with my older Mac 10.11 OS. I believe my latest supported version was 78.15 ESR. When I recently updated my MacBook OS to Monterey 12.7.6, Firefox updated automatically to 128.8 ESR.

Now, many websites recently seem to be broken (gmail, yahoo calendar, duckduckgo, & others), so moving from ESR to the most recent regular version seems like the best solution (I believe FF 136 is highest supported by Mac OS 12.7.6). Please list the very simple switch steps or point me to an article. Thanks very very much.

High, I've used the the 'VideoDownloadHelper' for years whithout any complication. Now, the icon shows no colour anymore, even after a new installation, and so I can't download any video. Can you help me ? Kind regards Michael [edited email from community support forum]

I have just completed a new installation of Ubuntu 22.04 and opened Firefox. On the Settings page, I'm seeing a message that says, "Your browser is being managed by your organization." My device is a personal home desktop not connected with any organization. Why am I seeing this message on a brand new installation?

I want to update Firefox but also version Firefox-134 causes the same problem as all previous versions newer than Firefox-95: GUI is not started in my Linux system despite all the requirements noted on the Mozilla pages with the release are satisfied. Basing on that I have read and experimented as well as on response to my bug report, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 I suppose that the new versions of Firefox are not able to start GUI using libGL backend GLX and they require LibGL backend EGL only. This requires libEGL version and other associated libraries that are present only in newest versions of Linux distributions like Fedora-41. These new versions are for new hardware and it is pointless to install them on older hardware because they would work probably ineffectively and cause problems. Linux is very customizable and users introduce adjustments and install software created by themselves, for years. That is why an update to radically new version of the Linux distribution is justified after buying a new computer. This would be required for making the Firefox-134 binary provided to run with GUI as well as for possible compiling it from source.

That is why I would like to ask for consideretion of submitting a new version of Firefox binary statically linked (at least the libraries that are required for GUI) so that it will work with GUI on older Linux systems obeying the requirements noted on mozilla pages with Firefox releases, assuming 4-8 GB RAM is available.

In the beginning of January 2025 I have had to set a virtual machine on my host Fedora 20 with Live-Fedora-41 that contained Firefox-131 upadted subsequently to Firefox-134. This way I can use Firefox-134 but having 8 GB RAM that is maximal value of RAM allowed by my computer I had to declare only 4 GB for the virtual machine to enable host Fedora-20 to work normally. However, the 4 GB of RAM is actually a minimum required for effective using of the new versions of Firefox and additionaly, 20 GB of disk space for the virtual machine had to be reserved.

This solution is far not optimal, the VM is mainly for test purposes. Therefore I remain my suggestion noted to above.

I kindly ask all NOT to place here irrelevant, nontechnical comments like the three below from one user; they have their place in general social media.
