For the second time in the last few months the 'urgent update' kept coming up and constantly interrupting streaming and other internet use, every time I open firefox and during use on any website. When I clicked to update it did so but afterwards I could double click on any mozilla firefox symbol and it would not open. I had to uninstall and reinstall again from home page to make it work again. What is annoying is the fact that I know it wont take long before the update reminder will pester me again and that I have no way to stop it doing so, except uninstall and reinstall. What a nuisance.

Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then;

Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.

Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding .old to them.

Now run the full installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
