I've done an 'Adrian'

[RogerS]

I had Auto-update set-up on Firefox on my Mac and along came version 125.0.1. Disaster and I can't find a way of getting back to the earlier version.

Prior to this update, I've always downloaded photos from my Android phone via Firefox. No problem. No, I get this result








So I now have to give tacit approval to download every bloody photograph. I am Not a Happy Bunny.

Even unticking this box doesn't allow 'Business as usual'.





Needless to say, Auto-update is OFF

I think you will possibly have to download a earlier version. Delete the updated one having saved bookmarks. Then install the older version and reinstate bookmarks.
Good luck

Thanks, Bob. Digging a bit, I think that they have changed the default settings to be True as I've never fiddled about with it. (as far as I can remember ). Hence the 'draconian' response about security risks.


It would be great if they could make that bloke URL specific. That way, stuff on my LAN could be allowed, for example, and yet I still have the protection across the wider web.


But lesson learned. Auto-updates are OFF.

Roger, I read that as a new Apple software version called "Disaster"........I think they've made Lemsips stronger.

frustrating - but firefox is quite good in having most settings somewhere in the about:config, so you can usually change it!

Sympathies. Annoying waste of time.

Hah! I was not alone....
