Will I be able to use Firefox with my computer? It's an older model and I just received an update message. Here's my specs Mac OS 10.10.5 Model Name: Mac Pro

 Model Identifier:	MacPro3,1
 Processor Name:	Quad-Core Intel Xeon
 Processor Speed:	2.8 GHz

Hello, In october, I got a window asking me to update Firefox (I am on OSX 10.9.5). I downloaded the file (Firefox 131.0.3 dmg) opened it, and dragged to applications. Everything seems OK. Now I read that Firefox does not send such windows, but makes background updates. Should I worry ? Thanks ! René

I am lost. Not a computer savvy guy. I am very old guy. How do I download the latest version of Firefox. and what does it look like. That is what are its numerical designations. Thanks, Jim

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Ok. I'm visually impaired. until version 90, I think, Firefox was great. Then it got so bad that I tried other browsers, but finding anything with support for the visually impaired is impossible now - we just don't count, that's obvious.

The newest version, what is it? 84357348957? Is impossible. I don't know why the lines between tabs were removed. I assume the developers thought it looked cool, without thinking that SOME OF US DON'T SEE WELL. I can barely use it now. I need to get back to an earlier, at least slightly usable version without losing everything - and I need some way to not be bothered with a popup for update 954785 this week.

Yes, I sound angry. I know that's not cool with tech. But you know? There is no need for 10-20 updates a month. And there's no bloody excuse for the complete disregard for the visually impaired that is now Mozilla's trademark.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

For the past few weeks (or more) Firefox will not start up in one of my Mac user profiles. Please find attached a screenshot of the dialog it shows when I try to start it up.

I forget what happened, but I think it has to do with an update to macOS and (perhaps) not agreeing to all security measures that Firefox asked for…

For now, I’m working in DuckDuckGo in this user profile, but I thought I’d ask in case anybody can save me the research time to figure this out on my own.

Thanks for reading.
