We ask this today, August 20, 2024, in the hope of finding a current solution to a question that has been asked for years:

How to prevent Firefox from updating?

When we search for this answer online, we find many answers -- all of which seem outdated. The many solutions from many years ago (which appear at the top of search listings) no longer work or are no longer available.

We like Firefox. otherwise we would not even bother asking. But we do not like that it appears users are losing the ability to customise their Firefox experience. We do not like that updates will sometimes break the way that we use Firefox. And we especially do not like that Firefox has become increasingly difficult to constrain.

If we wanted software that does not respect us we have many other other options.

What we want is: the option to tell Firefox that we will continue using this specific version of Firefox for as long as we wish, even if that leads to many terrible things. Yes, we want to know what those terrible things might be and to understand the implications of skipping this new update, but we want to make that informed decision; we do not want updates shoved down our throats.

For those running Ubuntu (Jammy) in August of 2024 how does one successfully prevent Firefox (recent) from updating? We would prefer a menu option but will accept a third-party solution if necessary. We want, among other things, to put a stop to the ominous "in X days we will install the update regardless of your obvious intentions to avoid an update" messages.

(We had these same issues back when we used Windows. The ability to prevent Firefox from updating seems to have been lost many years ago.)

Helpful responses are welcomed and appreciated.

recently switched to sky broadband, now half my web comics and other sites get 401d. some stupid interaction with their webshield rubbish seems to be the cause as it pops up occasionally. thing is, edge and brave have no such issue, and the trouble shooting guide for firefox not loading pages doesnt resolve the issue. restore firefox has partial effect until next time i restart my computer. but resetting my addons every time i sit down would be rediculous.

im guessing there is something in the dragons nest i need to toggle. im rather comfortable with how i use the tab sidebar and speed dial pins to be very eagre to switch browser.

My organization has been using Firefox ESR for many years. I am trying to upgrade from ESR 115.12 to ESR 128.1 The upgrade is hanging at the very end of the install. Procmon shows firefox.exe being launched in the background and hanging. When I manually run firefox.exe, it says "Unable to read configuration file". If I edit "autoconfig.js", and comment out the "general.config.filename", then everything works.

We still use the general.config.filename and have not fully transitioned to the newer policies.json configuration (we have settings in both).

Was a change made in ESR 128 that broke (or stopped supporting) the older format ?

thanks, -stephen

Well until a week ago I had no problems with Mozilla and apparently it got to a point where I deleted Mozilla and went to the Mozilla site downloaded the 64 version and couple of things have changed not sure why but they have and I'm not sure what to do ... The main thing is moving files into sites like We Transfer and Mega ... It just bounces off ... I took these sharing sites to like Edge and Opera not a problem.... Mozilla won't work.

Hello all

My bluewin mail-account contains lots of "own" mailboxes on the server, where I used to move my sent or received mails to, in the case when I wanted to preserve them. However, these mailboxes do not appear within Thunderbird. There, I can see only the "standard" mailboxes like inbox, outbox, drafts, bin, etc.

What do I have to do to see these "own" mailboxes in within Thunderbird?

Many thanx!

Best regards Old Keksi

There was a 1-3 second power failure today that crashed my desktop computer but the UPS maintained power to the fiber modem and mesh router, so my internet connection to the house was maintained. I restarted the desktop and launched Firefox. It proceeded to open all the tabs which had been open which is good. BUT it was very troubling that my log-in to my Investment Brokerage account was maintained and it did not request a Log-in Account Name and Password. A 2nd web account also maintained its log-in; so this is not specific to my brokerage. I have Firefox set up to NEVER save passwords; I use a separate Password Manager set up NOT to autofill account names and passwords.

Was this because the the UPS maintained the internet connection (for the 1-2 minute restart) while Firefox crashed and did not EXIT? Is there any setting I can make to prevent this from happening?
