Last night the 15th January 2025, the firefox decided to update, buy it self closing the browser, however when it restarted it now comes up an Error, something along the lines of 134.0.1 and 134.0 MinVersion, if you have seen this you will know what I mean, it suggested to reinstall firefox, with that I did and I tried to porting all the setting and data and every thing, however it didnot import.

Where can I find the previous version that generated the error to start the import again... as there are links that I simply can not get any more

Cheers

I received a msg from Mozilla that my Firefox was out of date and to download current version. I downloaded the current version but it does not update. I went to the menue and firefox help and it said automatic downloads disabled by system adminiestrator, I'm running linux mint. How do I get the download to update?

Every once in a while, Firefox stops allowing me to navigate to any new websites, instead giving only a page that says:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

I have automatic updates disabled in Firefox settings, and I have gone into about:config and set app.update.auto.migrated to false, and yet this issue persists. It seems like Firefox is ignoring my preferences. I don't wish to restart Firefox while I'm in the middle of a bunch of work. How can I get past this message and continue using Firefox without restarting? Do I need to delete update files or something?

This random surprise block to my work is ridiculous. We need the flexibility to update/restart Firefox only whenever we're ready to.

A new issue with Firefox. I download updates myself, not automatically. This morning after updating, I clicked to restart Firefox, and it restarts, but still shows that it needs to restart. Even after multiple attempts. How to resolve? Thanks

Help! All my bookmarks have disappeared from the Firefox browser. I believe there has been a browser update done by Firefox. I found various ways to recover bookmarks and found a folder named 'old Firefox Data' on my desktop. But all files I try to import give me an error message stating that this file doesn't contain any bookmark data. I tried to import bookmark files and favicons.sqlite files. No luck. I now cannot access bookmarks accumulated for about 10 years. Really need to get them back into this new browser. Any advice highly appreciated.

Lately when I manually check Firefox for updates. From the menu Help, then About Firefox. It will download the update, ask to restart Firefox. It will restart Firefox, but NOT install the update. It continues to fail to install until I close Firefox myself, wait a good minute, then load Firefox again and it will install the update. I can make this happen to every computer with Firefox installed.

Hi - Happy Holidays!

When I open Firefox for the first time each day I get this error message

Error: Platformversion 133.03.03 is not compatible with: minversion:>= 132..02.02 maxversion:> = 132.02.02 Maybe try to reinstal Firefox?

I have not tried to install because don't know if that would solve the problem and I'm afraid of losing bookmarks

I have used firefox for several years. Lately I have consistently gotten a message that there is an error and Platform Version 130.0 is not compatible..... I have followed several suggested remedies on the Internet with no luck, with the most consistent remedy being to reinstall. Thjat hasn't worked. Do you have a solution or should I just go to another browser?

If you select No to the UAC prompt when updating Firefox via Installer, it will install Firefox to "AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox" without telling you, instead of overwriting the copy in Program Files or erroring out. Additionally it will create a new Profile and set this new Profile as the Default Profile without telling you. Lastly, it'll remove an existing Pinned shortcut on the Taskbar.

So you've now got 2 copies of Firefox installed, one of which you're not told anything about and an additional Firefox Profile with no indication that this happened nor any instructions on how to undo this nor how to change the default Profile.

I accepted an update to my computer and immediately Firefox could not load, the exe file is missing. Again I use windows 7 . May have lost all passwords and bookmarks. Please advise.

Hello,

When I attempt to open Firefox, I am getting a pop-up screen saying:

135.0.1 not compatible with min version >= 135.0 max version <=135.0

Also, I am being advised to reinstall Firefox. Do I need to uninstall Firefox first?

Windows10, Dell Laptop

Thank you,

Petrik

So I know this question has been asked and answered in various scenarios but so far I've not found one matching mine.

Personal PC. I'm on V 131.0.2 since a reinstall last year but only now realised no updates have been done since because of this msg. I've worked through the various fixes others used re policies, but I can't locate any policy files in the various locations suggested; registry editor (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox key (don't have it) & others, about:config (nothing showing on a search), Program Files/Policies (don't have it), C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Distribution folder (don't have it). So I could not find the offending poicy DisableAppUpdate anywhere in locations offered by other posters etc.

Rather than taking forever to pin down the culprit, can I not just manually update to the latest version or will that delete all my settings/extensions etc?? Given how often it's crashing I'm almost tempted down that road except that I like to have my History intact as I often want to find a site I've not bookmarked.

Thanks.
