+russouk2004 6,958 Posted February 3, 2020 Reinstalled windows due to a Win 7 fuck up...thanks win7.....anyways...went to run firefox...lost all bookmarks,sign ins etc.. so...downloaded pre 2020 version...worked... then closed it and guess what new one pops open...cant alter profiles with new one...so... uninstalled...Added not to firefox thanks new firefox is SHIT... ok.....installed version 66.0.1 Quantum...works.... closed opened...back to version 71...ffs.... ok... firewall...new rule....block incoming to firefox.exe. works.... or if you want... edit registry go to.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies..............................add new policy dword and it stops updates...so far its working...all my sign ins back as before windows reinstall.... Create a new subkey here named Mozilla. You will get the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla. Under the Mozilla key, create a new subkey Firefox. You will get the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox. On the right, create a new 32-Bit DWORD value DisableAppUpdate. Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows you must still create a 32-bit DWORD value. Set its value to 1 if you encounter same...try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
