why do you stalk and bother the users? i do not want to update! without warning you alter things i do not want you to alter. you take things out so people have to use risky 3rd party addons.

Hi, Firefox 105 is obsolete now, and Mozilla has published information about security vulnerabilities in older versions.

What feature was removed that you need Firefox 105 for?

you removed the ability to read rss. having to use addons is a risk! you took out the properties tab. don't give something out free and harass me to update. i notice you have slowed downloads as well...

Yes, there are risks to using add-ons. This one gets the highest level of review and is part of the "Recommended" program:

Which Properties tab are you referring to?

I don't know why downloads would be slower.

Okay, your call.

this is the same thing wordpress did. another ruined software.

Do you mean the blocks editor? I can't figure it out, either.

you took out core items... i will figure something to keep you off my back...

If you mean the Properties in the context menu of a bookmark then now you need to look for "Edit Bookmark" further up, same for Delete => "Remove Bookmark". Sometimes things get moved around or the wording of items changes.

@cor-el when you right click a image there was property... there are so many sneaky things i need to find another browser... going to be hard to leave but iam...

You can restore "View Image Info..." to the right-click context menu this way:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future. Since we have had this setting for a long time and I use it myself, I feel comfortable mentioning it.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.menu.showViewImageInfo and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from false to true

Yes, there are some bad add-ons (I think you are referring to one for Chrome). The ones in the Recommended Program get the highest level of review, as mentioned before. I've never heard to any Recommended Extension suddenly turning into malware.

Support forum volunteers do not control how Firefox works. Mozilla has a product suggestion site at https://connect.mozilla.org/. You can submit a new "Idea" there but I'm sure this one has been submitted so you can find it there and give it a thumbs up.

I don't think showing update reminders violates any laws, but I guess your lawyer will tell us their theory.
