Recently upgraded to windows 7, and upgraded firefox to version 115. Why am I getting notices that Windows Vista is no longer supported. [upgraded from vista to 7]

I have windows 10 installed on my computer but firefox thinks its windows 8 and I dont get the 136 update, Im stuck at 115esr. many of my account websites are unavailable. What can I do? any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Tim

I try to update Firefox once a month, but every 6 hours I am notified about the release of a new version, so I have to click Cancel. Is it possible to increase this interval (at least to 24 hours) or disable it altogether?

I tried changing settings "app.update.interval" and "app.update.background.interval" but it didn't help.

======================================

THE ISSUE: When opening Firefox, (Attachment #1 - below) appears. Seems to have nothing to do with any reality . . . as when I check in SETTINGS (Attachment #2 - below). 1. So, who's telling the truth? 2. How do I stop the popup (Attachment #1) from making it's nagging, inaccurate appearance?

Thank you / Nels

I've followed all the steps for updating Firefox on Linux, but every extension prompts me to update when I go to add them. How do I know when Firefox is really updated? I access Firefox through Linux on a Chromebook, in case that helps.

What does this mean? being updated by another instance

Is this why my FF is running godawful slow today?

Pages coming up in 20 to 60 seconds or more instead of in a second or two.

I am using version 88.0 and browser, both outdated and not supported. How do I update to current version and update browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate, please keep it simple. Also, I am alone, not help available. Thank you

I just installed Linux Mint. I am new to Linux. Firefox came with it. In the Firefox help/about, I see that updates have been disabled by your organization. I am just a single user. There should bot be any enterprise policy applicable. Why did I get this and how to get rid of it?

Any help appreciated.

I'm using version 135.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11. The latest version on the site is 136.0, but no notification is given, and Help/About doesn't do it or offer the option. I've browsed the web page that discusses an "Update Firefox" section in Settings/General, but no such section exists. Anyone knows what happened??? Tnx, Nir

I keep seeing a warning that I'd better update firefox by March 14th. But when I try, there seems to be no easy way to do it. I can download the archives, either .bz2 or .xz, for several different versions (ESR or not), for Linux-64. But upon opening these archives, I don't see any obvious "INSTALL" script, nor a "README" or anything else to get me started. How deep do I have to dig into this, to get this simple task done? Why can't it be "one click"? I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up the Debian apt archive to point at Mozilla, since it doesn't seem to be in the defaults -- and why should I have to?

I try to follow the directions in Support, which direct me to the "three lines" menu -> Settings -> General -> Firefox Updates. But it doesn't "automatically download" the new update, in fact it doesn't even seem to try to check for updates, nor is there any link to click to make it update manually. What I see in that panel does not match the screenshot in the Support (see attached image).

I click on "download installer", but it just takes me to the same page where I can specify my language, etc., and then download the archive of the browser itself. No sign of any installer, as mentioned above.

Why is this so hard??? Has my browser been hacked to prevent updates? Please help!
