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

I update software on a regular schedule, and would prefer to not have Firefox (136.0) nag every few minutes that I'm not on the latest and greatest. 120.0.1 only nags a little. How can I turn the nagging totally off?

I added the following to `~/firefox/distribution/policies.json`, but it didn't help.

``` {

   "policies": {
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true, "DisableTelemetry": true, "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true, "AppAutoUpdate": false,

   }   

} ```

Can I permanently turn off InformationUpdate available' which appears each time I open Firefox. I must click Dismiss to close it. The problem is that after each update, many services to which I log every day, state that I am logging from a new device and I must complete a time consuming procedure of adding a new device in many places. And I don’t need most of the updates.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how long Firefox will continue to receive updates (security fixes, compatibility patches, etc.) on macOS Big Sur.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hello,

It's safe to say that Mozilla is not heading in the right direction, with each FF release things are gradually getting worse and worse (example: the removal of the search bar ENTER key function, and the recent change of terms that allows mozilla to harvest user data through FF). Optimally, the user would be allowed go back to an older release, but with downgrades come the loss of profile ... etc, which is why I chose to simply stop updating FF completely. Not an ideal situation, but there's no telling what else Mozilla is going to f up in the next hour, week or months.

I thought my troubles were over, except there's now the added nag message, it shows up every few minutes, every time i start the browser, even starting private browsing window will activate the update prompt message. it's tedious having to press "dismiss" 20 times a day, the message itself imposes on page content, and can't be disabled by clicking outside the message box. I've already went into configuration, and activated the silent update message option, but to my amazement, the message came back again in a few hours, and the option was flipped back off.

how do i get rid of this message once and for all? and before mozilla staff clarifies how stupid it is to turn off updates, i understand the risks of my own stupidity, i just don't want to put up with mozilla's.

So I just noticed after downloading the new update to Firefox, version 139.0.1 that something new came up in my task manager called Crashhelper. Never seen this before. Closed it down and it seemed to have no issues shutting down at least. I haven't had Firefox crash in recent months, so I'm assuming that this cropping up might be a glitch of some kind? I looked this up to see if anyone else had this issue, and it seems someone on Reddit did encounter this, on Linux, and another on Windows also seems to have run into it. How do we stop this from coming up whenever we start up the browser?

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

Hi My version of Firefox will not be supported after Jan 14th - I can't download an updated version of Firefox because my Mac is IOS 10.10 and apparently it needs to be at least IOS 12. What can I do? I will be updating my computer but I don't want to lose access to my docs etc on the 14th Jan. Thank you - I would appreciate help please.

How to get the latest Firefox version for Win7? My Firefox shows me that I am using the latest Firefox version which is 115. By I get messages from other websites, that my Firefox is outdated. Google shows me that the newest version of Firefox is 136. Why I am not getting it for my Win7 OS?

I am using the latest Windows which is still not bloatware/ spyware - Windows 7. I think, I am not the only one person in the world who is not going to update Windows 7, to later Win versions, until Microsoft will change it's attitude to the client interests. I would better switch to Linux than to update my Win7 to Win8, Win10, Win11.

Please, make all newest updates accessible for Win7.
