I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.

Hello--I am using 130.0.1. Now there is a "tmp[xx]" with a large black dot at the right end of the address bar. The number [xx] changes for each tab. Whazzup with this, and what does it mean?

Thanks--Jonn

After I restarted my Windows 11 last night at 6:38 EST, Firefox updated to 139. I lost all my open tabs and history, and I've lost a day of work dealing with this. Help!

In Firefox add-ons, the 'Recent Updates' section can be accessed through the cog wheel icon. How many days of updates does it cover? I'm asking because I don't want to miss any important updates. Thanks!

After Firefox is automatically updated, it installs two instances of the browser repeatedly, both in the same folder, making it impossible to uninstall one of them separately.

An automatic Firefox update has deleted firefox.exe from my Programs(x86) folder so the shortcut no longer works. I also think that my TALKTALK Internet WIfi also has deleted my own Favourites program that I use to get to various online applications. I have tried a new download for Firefox but still do not get a new working Shortcut.

If I have to restart my computers when I am in the middle of working because Firefox won't work unless I do, I will find another browser. And yes, I have it set to only update when the computer is not being used, but obviously that does work. Maybe give me the option to set a time to restart?! Like the middle of the night as opposed to the middle of a working day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really???????????

Dear Mozilla,

you should be clearer in new Firefox versions about which changes need to be manually enabled or are being rolled out in stages. It’s really frustrating to keep reading about new features and being asked (I have the new version X - according to the news, Y should work...) only to find out that these features either arrive delayed to the end users or need to be activated manually.

And please give the user more choice about whether they want to use new features (for example the "https://" trimming, volume icon in tabs...) and provide an easier option than tinkering with the "userChrome.css".

Thanks and best regards, Martin

I cannot get the OpenH264 plugin to install on firefox, it is permanently stuck on "will be installed shortly". This seems to be the reason I cannot get my ring cameras to work on my desktop. I'm bad at computer stuff so my apologies and thanks in advance.

When I updated my Firefox app, I was asked for an email address, which I supplied. This address was rejected. I used another email address, but one which I seldom used in firefox, and it was accepted. Now I see that I have two accounts, one under each address, and all my bookmarks and passwords seem to be associated with the rejected email address. There seems to be no clear way to move access them in the new installation,

In any given day, I have 5 to 15+ browser windows open with various tools or cloud based software, databases. along with researching sites.

Like today, I try to open and type in a new window and I get the famous "Firefox is updated you must restart" All my windows are closed, I loose everything I had opened.

if you are forcing me to "restart" can you not have it reopen my existing webpages/ URLs? I understand that it cannot log me in. However, if I had websites for research open at least I would not forget which ones I had open. Even microsoft will reopen or at least tell me to save my information, etc. before upgrading.

I seem only to have issues installing the Nightly build. I have successfully installed Firefox's main, beta, and dev builds.

I received the following error/message when installing it. (see attached images)

This issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 10 directly from Microsoft's image creation tool. I upgraded to Windows 11 and experienced the same behavior. I used the tool Revo Uninstaller to uninstall previous versions of FF completely and used the tool to clean and purge any leftover registry entries and directories. No errors or entries in Event viewer.

Anybody run into this issue?
