How can I stop Mozilla from continually adding Firefox to my Win 11 start menu?

I have organized my Win 11 start menu into logical groupings to avoid a long irrational lists of programs requiring me to sort-through each time I want to open another app. I use Firefox frequently enough that it has a 'permanent' place on my taskbar so it is easy to open it and proceed expeditiously.

However, Mozilla has recently decided it will overrule my process by repeatedly adding 'Firefox' as another choice on my start menu -- I delete it each time, only to find they have added it again each time I reboot. I find this to be quite obnoxious and arrogant.

Perhaps I need to consider moving to another browser and uninstall Firefox once an for all....

At home we have a shared computer with Ubuntu and Firefox as main browser. Each family member has its own Linux user.

We use the functionality of Firefox saving passwords, however we've noticed that these passwords are visible between the Linux users. So, for instance if two of us use the same website, somehow our user/pass get are visible to each other. Is this behavior expected? How can we set FF to make the user/pass visible only to the Linux user who is using it?

Cheers

Hello. I just have a general question. I have read about it a little but I get mixed info. Some say yes, some say no.... So, is it possible to get a virus or malware or any of that spyware stuff on mobile phones like you can on a computer? Particularly Android phones. They have all these anti-virus apps and stuff you can download saying they're designed specifically for Android mobile devices but then I have read articles that say that the Android operating system is not the same as, let's say, a Windows PC operating system so it's not possible to download spyware onto it. I'm just curious and appreciate any info. Thank you!!

Hi, I am curious to know why I can't completely remove the Dutch language in the language settings. When I installed the browser it was automatically set-up to Dutch - a language don't speak - then I was able to add English but some functions like spelling corrections are still in Dutch. I would like to get rid of it. I have the same problem with German on another computer. Thanks!

Dear Firefox team, I have one question only.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Can you STOP bombarding me with the notifications? This is MY DESKTOP, this is MY PC, I DON'T NEED this shit.


For anyone who would like to help:

No, there's no such option in settings. No, removing updater physically does not stop pop-ups. No, there's nothing in about:config to shut up the updates.


For Firefox team:

No, your updates ruin the browser, more and more, I think I'm about to switch to Pale Moon instead.

I like the Firefox browser and Firefox was working fine for months but Firefox did ask me to do another update today. I did the update as requested and after the update Firefox will not connect to any websites on my desktop despite an excellent internet connection. I cannot find anyway to contact Firefox directly. For major problems such as a 100 percent failure rate to connect to any website, Firefox should provide direct help to the user as to the current major problem. I appreciate user ideas but Firefox should offer some help for major problems as the likely solutions can change over time. Hopefully if Firefox oversees user questions, someone at Firefox tech will at least respond to my question on this website or better yet contact me directly.

The problem may well be the update itself. The Firefox browser is working on my smartphone but not the desktop internet browser. I have some browser settings that I do not want to lose which a complete Firefox removal and reinstall would likely cause. Any suggestions from fellow Firefox users are appreciated and I look forward to them. Have other Firefox users experienced this major problem?

Thank you.

My PC died and I could not boot from bootable flash drive.

I had been backing up the system with Acronis to a WD Passport.

I purchased a new computer, and when I did a restore, upon starting Firefox, I did not have my old bookmarks, which are many.

Aren't they stored in a backup? If so, how do I get them back. I'm sure that some of the bookmarks came over from Netscape Navigator.

Thanks,

Bob

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.
