After 10+ years of using Firefox I now get this error about installing/using the Mozilla Installer.... I DON'T WANT TO USE MS EDGE! PERIOD SO HOW DO I GET THIS CORRECTED, just go back to version 136.0?? and wait for the next version to come out??? Assistance would be greatly appreciated to relieve my frustrations....

When I updated, certain icons appeared automatically when I open Firefox. Two of them I've never ever even used before. Someone has paid Firefox to include them. I don't want them there cluttering up the desk top. How do I remove them? Also, Etsy is a website I use a lot and it no longer appears as an icon. How do I add it? Thanks.

Noticed 3 entries for various versions of Firefox in the Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps. There is one Firefox record in the Start menu. 1. I have unistalled all the entries through the Windows Settings, deleted all folders for Moxilla and Firefox, cleaned the registry of every mention of Mozilla or Firefox. 2. Installed newly downloaded Firefox 137.0 three days ago. 3. After today update to v. 137.0.1 - I again have 2 entries in the Settings > Apps > Installed apps: v. 137.0 and v. 137.0.1. The same problem was with Thunderbird. I also cleaned all the folders and the Registry, then fresh installed it again. Thunderbird was not updated, so I don't know if the problem has returned. Maybe something is wrong with the Mozilla installer? What should I do to have just one Mozilla Firefox entry in the Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps after update as it was years before? (My system is: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 English US, Firefox 64-bit English US)

Additional information: I found that the Uninstall registry entries are stored in different hives: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 137.0 (x64 en-US) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 137.0.1 (x64 en-US)

The installation on my win 11 laptop is doing some odd things (1 - recently lost all extra (unselected) windows on restart, even though set to restore all windows and tabs and 2- opening a new window creates an outdated duplicate of the window I already have open instead of just creating a new window with an empty tab??). So I thought I'd try refreshing it. Well, my "More troubleshooting" page does not have the "Refresh Firefox" button, only the "clear startup cache" appears along with option to run in troubleshooting mode. No Refresh option in teh same page in troubleshooting mode either. I am using the Microsoft Store MSIX installation. I am thinking about uninstalling that one and installing from a Mozilla download instead??

What would be the best way to clean up my installation state since the refresh is not available?

When I open Firefox I load up my initial version and can use it without problems. However when I click on a website from an email I get another version of Firefox which doesn't include various things such as home page. I then have two versions of Firefox at the same time both working independently. How can I get rid of this second version?

I didn't request Modzilla/Firefox to be uninstalled but it was somehow. I run Dell SupportAssist first thing after startup of my laptop. I also run Norton Ultimate Utilities to clean up orphaned registries and broken shortcuts. After running both, then I start using my laptop but noticed Modzilla/Firefox was uninstalled along with all the associated bookmarks. I don't see any history on uninstalled activity after I reinstalled M/F. Really am puzzled by this uninstall. Anyone else experience this?

My MacBook went down and I'm trying to load it on my wife's Mac mini. It is asking for username and password. She only knows a password not a username.

I would like to install Firefox. Please advise.
