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!

Is there a way to upgrade firefox on Linux Mint 19.1? Why has draconian Linux Mint banned this?

I'm putting off upgrading Linux as I have many hundreds of undocumented addons which will be lost and would take forever to attempt to remember how to re-install.

(in fact I might just switch to macos and try using homebrew).

It seems very harsh that upgrading Firefox has been prevented by linux mint for years now.

Yes Homebrew is perhaps the way forward! Life would be easier with just one O/S as I need Macos anyway for adobe lightroom.

If I run Firefox 134.0.1 from the installation folder, fine, no problem. If I then attach it to the Windows 11 taskbar, when I launch it from the taskbar, it opens completely unconfigured.

This doesn't happen with other applications or browsers.

Thank you for appreciating my problem.

Hello everyone, i have Linux/Ubuntu software with Firefox browser and for 5 months it has not asked me to update, with it's pop up message. Now it is urgently asking me to update, i have followed the directions given in order to download the latest Firefox version as instructed but with no success. I am downloading it, but it doesn't have an instruction to "run" it. As a consequence, my system is getting slower and slower and i am afraid it will crush! Any ideas? Sooooos!!!
