Re: Firefox extended support release

Bill, You and others on this group site helped me solv this same
problem just last week. I do thank you for that. I had to unplug my
computer from my router after I reinstalled Firefox 52, so it couldn’t
automatically update itself to version 60. I then uninstalled the Mozilla
maintainance, turned off automatic updates and went into the mozilla folder on
C/Program Files and deleted the 2 Update files. After plugging my computer
back into my router, everything works fine now except that every time I open
Firefox now I get a pop up message that Firefox has found an update and I should
install it. I just close it and go on.
Love in
Christ
Marty

Subject: Re: Firefox extended support release Hi, Marilyn. The problem is that whichever version of Firefox you had previously, it updated automatically, and, because you don’t have JAWS 2018, Firefox 62.0 will not work with your version of JAWS.
The only thing to do is to download an earlier version of Firefox and, after installing it, make sure you disable automatic updating of Firefox. This takes a few steps to make sure it doesn’t update.
If you are interested, Write back. I’ll have you call me, and I’ll also walk you through the process of disabling any future updates.

I checked on my desktop and Firefox is there but I cannot tell what version it is.
The whole message says “Display of tab content has been disabled. Update your screenreader software or switch to Firefox extended support release.”
My laptop is set to automatically do updates, so I don’t know what the problem is.
Thanks.

Is that the whole extent of the message you are getting? It doesn’t sound like it’s telling you to do anything. Do you use firefox already? What version?

Hello all,
Yesterday I had no problems with opening a link in the body of certain emails, but now I’m getting a prompt that says the link cannot open and I should do the following: “Firefox extended support release.”
What does this mean? How would I go about doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Marilyn
