Firefox Community Forum

I update software on a regular schedule, and would prefer to not have Firefox (136.0) nag every few minutes that I'm not on the latest and greatest. 120.0.1 only nags a little. How can I turn the nagging totally off?

I added the following to `~/firefox/distribution/policies.json`, but it didn't help.

``` {

   "policies": {
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true, "DisableTelemetry": true, "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true, "AppAutoUpdate": false,

   }   

} ```

I can't figure this out. I've been having this issue ever since I deleted my KMspico files after I did a scan using Malware Bytes (it was labelled as dangerous files or whatever so I let the app delete it).

After the restart, I can't use nor reinstall the Discord app along with being unable to download any Extensions, Themes, or Plugins for both Firefox and LibreWolf. It's frustrating as I had to go back to previous browsers, which I didn't want to do. Any help in fixing this is highly appreciated as I really want this fixed.

--- File location is C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreWolf [Same for Firefox]

--- Must I reinstall Windows in order to fix this issue or are there other ways that don't involve reinstalling Windows?

In today’s digital age, privacy and security have become more important than ever. With increasing concerns about data breaches, online tracking, and surveillance, it’s crucial to choose tools and platforms that prioritize your safety. Mozilla, the organization behind the Firefox browser, has long been a champion of user privacy and security. Here’s why Mozilla stands out in the crowded tech landscape and how it helps you stay protected online.

1. A Commitment to Privacy Mozilla’s mission is rooted in the belief that the internet should be a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Unlike many tech giants that profit from collecting and monetizing user data, Mozilla operates as a non-profit organization. This means their focus is on serving users, not advertisers.

Firefox Browser: Firefox is designed with privacy in mind. Features like Enhanced Tracking Protection block third-party cookies and trackers by default, preventing companies from following your online activity.

Strict Anti-Tracking Policies: Mozilla actively works to limit cross-site tracking, ensuring your browsing habits remain private.

2. Transparency You Can Trust Mozilla is transparent about how they handle your data. Their privacy policy is clear and easy to understand, and they regularly publish transparency reports detailing government requests for user data. Unlike many other companies, Mozilla doesn’t sell your data to advertisers or third parties.

3. Cutting-Edge Security Features Mozilla doesn’t just focus on privacy—it also prioritizes security to keep you safe from online threats.

Firefox Monitor: This free tool lets you check if your email or passwords have been compromised in a data breach, helping you take proactive steps to secure your accounts.

Password Manager: Firefox’s built-in password manager securely stores and generates strong passwords, reducing the risk of hacking.

HTTPS-Only Mode: This feature ensures your connection to websites is encrypted, protecting your data from interception.

4. Fighting for a Better Internet Mozilla isn’t just about building great products—it’s also a vocal advocate for digital rights. The organization campaigns for stronger privacy laws, fights against mass surveillance, and supports open-source initiatives. By using Mozilla products, you’re supporting a movement that champions a free and open internet for everyone.

5. Open-Source and Community-Driven Mozilla’s open-source model means anyone can review, contribute to, or audit their code. This transparency builds trust and ensures that the software is free from hidden vulnerabilities or malicious intent. It’s a collaborative effort to create a safer internet for all.

How You Can Take Control of Your Privacy Here are a few steps you can take to enhance your online privacy and security with Mozilla:

Switch to Firefox: Ditch browsers that prioritize profit over privacy and make Firefox your default browser.

Enable Enhanced Tracking Protection: Go to Firefox settings and ensure tracking protection is turned on.

Use Firefox Focus: For mobile browsing, try Firefox Focus, a lightweight browser that automatically blocks trackers and erases your browsing history.

Stay Informed: Follow Mozilla’s blog form mozilla site and campaigns to stay updated on privacy issues and how to protect yourself.

How do I go bout doing that like copy and move exactly what exactly where.

Hello, I am from Ukraine and I use a translator, sorry for that. I have poor physical and mental health. I have Windows XP and there is no possibility to buy a newer computer. Yesterday all my browser extensions were disabled. They are very important to me. I accept and understand all the risks. I beg you, please let me use these extensions. Please help...

Hi,

I have a very old version of Firefox (51.0.1 64-bit) on Windows 7 Pro. I know it's well out-of-date. It's not my "main" browser, but there are some things I use it for because there are (were) some handy old extension on it. For example there's an extension that simply copies any text I highlight, without my having to press CTRL-C. I find the "scrapbook" invaluable for saving info offline.

Yesterday everything was fine. Today ALL the extensions have been disable because "[extension] could not be verified for use in firefox and has been disabled". There is no option to enable them again.

I have backups of the extensions (xpi files), but firefox is telling me that they appear to be corrupted.

Is there any way to either enable the disabled extensions, or force firefox to reinstall then from my backups? I have toggled "xpinstall.signatures.required" to "false".

Thanks for any help.
