My phone suddenly says I'm on Firefox 10 and it's dead. Should have updated automatically and didn't. Now nothing works. How can I update? Already tried the directions.

Hi,

I am at my wits end with unmanageable updates.

I do a lot of research online and have tabs open and forms partially filled in a lot. This last week has seen two unavoidable updates that caused me to lose data I'd been working on in forms that did not re-populate. I first had updates set to install only when FireFox was not running, but it forced a restart anyway - and I lost an entire page of data I'd been working on.

So I changed it to let me choose when to install, but it forced a restart anyway. This is with no notice whatsoever. I open a new tab, and it says I need to restart to keep using FireFox - at that point, every tab I go to will not let me use it. I didn't even know an update had downloaded in the background.

This is a new behavior; I used to have a choice when to download (but not when to install). I'm sure I'm missing something - but what?? Can anyone help with any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Chase Bank says I can't view my accounts online because I need to upgrade to Firefox 128 or higher. How do I do this so they can support this information on my MAC computer

Pop up notification for an outdated profile/version of firefox when firefox was closed which made the game tab out and I couldn't move until I was able to tab back in. How do I get rid of this and keep my current profile and get it up to date so that I can use the same profile?

I am disturbed by this latest update and how my home page has been affected dealing with Google. I used to be able to log on to my email from the Firefox homepage and now its not even an available option on this new home screen. How do I go back to an earlier version?

Hi -- Not a major issue, but for a while now each firefox.exe version installs itself in a new directory, requiring me to recreate its desktop shortcut. This is new behavior; I never needed to do this previously.

So I end up with

 C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Mozilla.Firefox_139.0.4.0_x64__n80bbvh6b1yt2\VFS\ProgramFiles\Firefox Package Root
 C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Mozilla.Firefox_142.0.0.0_x64__n80bbvh6b1yt2\VFS\ProgramFiles\Firefox Package Root
 C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Mozilla.Firefox_142.0.1.0_x64__n80bbvh6b1yt2\VFS\ProgramFiles\Firefox Package Root

The most recent update went to

 C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Mozilla.Firefox_143.0.0.0_x64__n80bbvh6b1yt2\VFS\ProgramFiles\Firefox Package Root

Can you advise.

Thanks!
