I run firefox esr and i recently updated from 60 version to 68. Now i get a error message saying "firefox is unable to determine if there is an update available" probably because i have deleted the update url from the config. How do i stop it from checking for updates ?
I-Firefox
Can I have enter a keyword + 1 string in the adress bar and have this changed to a predefined url where the given string is incoroprated?

I very often have to visit a (company internal) webpage where the url is something like
https://internal.company.com/blabla/whatever?func=test&id=XXXXX
where XXXX is changing (it's a document identifier)
Now I'd like to be able to reduce this to something like "a XXXXX" and to have firefox to automatically expand this to the full link. It's a bit like a custom search with a keyword. Is this easily possible?

It looks like Firefox has the wrong user-agent set. I've made a few changes to about:config that I found on privacytools.io but none of them had anything to do with the user-agent. I read through Mozilla's "reset the default user-agent" article but none of the mentioned settings are in my about:config so there's nothing to reset. I would create them myself but I don't know what they should be set to (the article only says to click the "reset" button next to them). I'm running Ubuntu Linux but it seems Firefox is telling websites I'm running Windows...for proof see the screenshot attached to this post.
Hmm...it seems this page detected that I'm running a variation of Linux although no other pages (such as the one in the screenshot) could. What can I do?
Edit: it looks like this page says my user agent is correct (it shows Linux), however many many other sites on the internet say I'm running Windows. I'm really confused now.

I recently copied my Old Firefox profile to another folder and refreshed my Firefox Dev Edition browser. After refreshing, I copied all of the content of my old Firefox profile to the new default profile and then started the browser. Upon starting it, the browser was working with all of my previous add-ons. But whenever I close the browser and open it again, the icons of the add-ons at the overflow menu are not showing though there is space for the add-ons. Whenever I click at the add-ons, the error that 'Access to file was denied' - `The file at moz-extension://b408b31d-945f-43cb-881e-b1f4071942b6/index.html is not readable` shows up. I tried it with creating other profile folders and then copying my old profile data but it still always happens.
Any help?

Hi,
Straightforward issue I just noticed.
For some reason I cannot delete some of my bookmarks. Whenever through bookmark icon/manager. With right click context menu delete, delete keyboard button, or "bookmark remove" from shortcut.. etc.
It just doesn't function. I can move those "frozen" bookmarks around in folders and such, but I simply cannot delete them.

Suddenly Firefox hangs when navigated to next tab.
Also happens when Alt + tab to Firefox from other window.
Text is not typing in URL(address) bar of currently opened tab
Creating new tab button summons tabs, can drag tabs, but can't switch to any except one on which Firefox hanged.
Screenshot explains a little bit more.

Hello,

Guys after latest update I can't change fully my user interface language. I changed language setting to English everywhere, and part of it is still in Estonian ( I live in Estonia, that's why for some reason mozila gave me headache and changed user interface to estonian).
Check screenshot, English is set as main language and menu is still in estonian. I even reinstalled ENGLISH version of firefox, but it didn't help me, still estonian menus. Spend 2 hours trying to solve this issue. Sry for crying, but so often after updates things like this happen.
Please help me change language to English :)
P.S. I can't delete my profile in firefox, and completelly reinstall it, cos I need my setting.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

After an upgrade to FF68 the address bar now has a drop down and it uses my search provider. I previously was able to type a term or website just in the bar itself, no drop down, no clutter.
Is there any way to turn this off? I had previously created a css file in my chrome directory and it was working just fine.
Chrome.css file with the following content in order to hide the addressbar dropdown-menu:
- PopupAutoCompleteRichResult {
display: none;
}
I have also gone into about:config and previously changed settings like url.dropdown.search or whatever it was. Turned off search suggestions and a couple others.
Should I modify or check anything else?
