Tried to update Firefox. Got the message: your updates are being managed by your organization. I'm a home user. No organization. What is the problem? Thank you in advance.

Greetings, Team. When Firefox does an Auto-update while starting, an error message arrives, " NSIS Error:

Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid.

OK " Please, where and what name does this 'temp folder' have?

How may I fix this Error?

Thank y'all in advance. Phil T. ps W10, Chkdsk OK, system appears OK.

Hi there, Im on a windows 10(ish) and yesterday got this problem after the auto update to firefox 133.0.3 - Update is not working. error window says platform version 133.0.3 is not compatible with minVersion >= 133.0... how can I fix this?

I've seen that there was a similar issue back in October with a previous version. Tried to follow instructions and reinstaled firefox from mozilla. But the problem is still there. Restarted after reinstalling and still getting the same error message. ((( Please help )))

I received a msg from Mozilla that my Firefox was out of date and to download current version. I downloaded the current version but it does not update. I went to the menue and firefox help and it said automatic downloads disabled by system adminiestrator, I'm running linux mint. How do I get the download to update?

cannot update browser. Currently using Linex Mint, #139, but latest is 150. As stated above, when I try to update, says browser update disabled by organization. Do not understand, I never authorized disabling browser updating.

Windows 11 Pro on Lenovo ThinkCentre. I switched to ESR a while back, when the regular and ESR versions coincided. All updates since then have worked fine, until now.

When I allow Firefox to update to 140.3.1esr from 128.14.0esr, then the Firefox browser no longer works at all. It comes up, but entering a URL (by typing or bookmark) does nothing and goes nowhere, so I can't use the internet at all.

I had to use Macrium Reflect to restore my system drive to an earlier time to get back on the internet, using version 128.14.0esr, which lost some recent bookmarks, etc. I have tried this twice, with the same result.

Now, a couple of sites no longer work because they say the browser isn't current.

What can I do about this? I hope I don't have to switch to another browser, because there are Firefox extensions I use all the time. However, I can't use a non-updatable browser indefinitely, because more sites won't work.

Can I fix this?

Thanks for your help, AnneF

I wanted to try the new split screen feature. The guide says you need the latest version 149. When I check 'About Firefox' it says I have version 140.9 but it also says 'Firefox up-to-date'. Could you advise how I can update to latest version 149 please?

While I'm using Firefox, I try to go to a new website and Firefox says that it's installing a new version and I need to stop what I'm doing and restart. When Firefox restarts, it forces me to create a new profile and I've lost everything I had before.

This happens two or three times a day.

Hello,

When I attempt to open Firefox, I am getting a pop-up screen saying:

135.0.1 not compatible with min version >= 135.0 max version <=135.0

Also, I am being advised to reinstall Firefox. Do I need to uninstall Firefox first?

Windows10, Dell Laptop

Thank you,

Ok, I can't reinstall Firefox because I have data, links and other that I no longer have access to link website links.

What is the next solution please as Firefox is my default and main browser.... or is it time to move away from firefox.?

I tried to import date and others however it was not an easy task to do, and I have to System Restore to once again get the Error that stops Firefox, is there a way of undoing the update that firefox installed ?

I've been prompted to update Firefox. Multiple times I have downloaded the latest version, deleted the existing one, and installed the latest one. The next day I get the same prompt that I'm in need of an update.

Greetings Ya'll,

Early this morning as I went to use the Firefox browser, on My Desktop, I got an update, & then firefox opened, somewhat.

The homepage did not fill in with favorites, suggestions, etc, and in fact all that did load was the Search bar, but not one of my usual website buttons. The "edit", "help", etc. buttons at the upper left hand corner did load, but that is all.

Not one of the buttons work, nor can I close out the Firefox page, by tapping the "X" in the upper right hand corner.

The only way that I could close out the "Firefox Page" was by going through the "Control/Alt/Delete" & then "Signing Out", which would initiate a "Re-start". Once I signed in, I could return to the Desktop, where everything works.

I use Firefox as my Browser on my Android phone, & at this moment, I've not had any problems using Firefox on my Cell Phone.

The only way that I could get to the Mozilla Website was by using the Microsoft Edge Browser, which is not giving me any problems as far as accessing the Internet!

How can I correct this problem, & go back to the Firefox Browser?

I want to upload the current version of Firefox. However, the system Administrator (who is me) will mnot allow me to do so. How do I change settings to allow for the upload.

HERE'S HOW I SOLVED THIS "SECURE CONNECTION FAILED" ISSUE:

Kept getting this error when attempting to update Firefox; didn't matter which browser I used; went through the forum postings and tried every this-and-that-and-this-and-that posted there; didn't work; finally --

i opened a $10.00 30-day hotspot account with Xfinity, and the download worked perfectly.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

All I have is an older windows 7 dell laptop and firefox was working ok but then it said firefox must be updated by march 14 so i clicked on the update but it has been over 24 hours and the little circle is still going around with 0 results why
