After updating Mozilla Firefox to the latest version, it changed the default language from English (US) to German (DE) although English (US) is currently selected as the default language. It will not change back to English (US)

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

I tried to open Firefox and a message appeared: "Couldn't load XPCOM". I uninstalled the program with Revo Uninstaller Pro and downloaded the latest version. I selected Run as Administrator but there is a message that says "Windows cannot have access to the selected device, path or file. Maybe you don't have access rights". However, I do have access rights. I have checked it multiple times. How can I install Firefox and see it work properly? Thanks

Κατέβασα το Firefox Installer.exe και προσπαθώ να κάνω εγκατάσταση με το Run as Administrator διότι για κάποιον λόγο δεν με αφήνει διαφορετικά, αν και έχω δικαιώματα διαχειριστή. Μου βγάζει όμως ένα παράθυρο το 7-Zip και μου λέει "Δεν επιτρέπεται η πρόσβαση".

I have been using Linkman for over 15 years and have a very large collection of bookmarks. Is there anyway to enable it? I'd hate abandon Firebox as I do need this extension please help.

Thanks

With the last two updates that Mozilla Firefox for desktop sent, I get an error message that will not allow me to open or use Firefox. The error message is "Cannot load XPCOM." I've had to uninstall Firefox and download it again both times to make Firefox work until the next time you send an update, then I have to go through this procedure all over again. What is going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this cannot be fixed I will need to find another browser (although it won't be as good as Firefox has been over the years.

I'm trying to get my settings & themes back after an update, and nothing is working. I can't even open bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar. I just get "new tab" with the dots moving like it's searching for a site.

Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

I CANNOT find a way to restore Cut/copy/paste, Zoom, and numerous other toolbar items since your last night's updates. Please make it possible to easily restore, and impossible to remove through updating..

Greetings, I added the Grammarly and Last Pass apps to the add-ons list. Can you tell me how I can add their icons to my Firefox toolbar. Or provide me with a phone number that I could call Firefox support to help answer this questions?

Thanks, Mike

There used to be an option for a separate search window on the address bar. I found it really useful especially for a instant spell check. The option was there then after an update, it wasn't. WHY WHY WHY????? Is there any way for me to put it back? I hate using the address bar to search! Unless I open a new tab or window, regaining control of the prior tab/window is difficult.

This has occurred before and I found a page with all the icons you could upload to address bar. I want the envelope that indicates to email the link of the page I am on to someone in my email account. I've used it for years but when I go to find, it's always difficult.

I cannot open firefox. The error box says that the platform version 130.0.1 is not compatible with the maxversion 130.0 or the minversion 130.0. It looks as if the upgrade to 130.0.1 was incomplete. I need to have this fixed
