If you are using Firefox, you need to update now or you will have problems using it 3 days from now.
Updating your browser is extremely important to avoid all kinds of problems. It doesn't matter which one you have installed. In this article, we explain why you need to update Firefox to avoid problems while continuing to use add-ons normally. This is also something you should do within the next three days, as they will soon stop working properly.
Updating is crucial to receive the most recent enhancements, but it might also be required to increase security. This will keep you out of trouble in the event that a cybercriminal breaches your security, for instance, by taking advantage of a known vulnerability. This is necessary if you use Firefox add-ons in order to maintain their functionality.
If you have not updated to the most recent version of Firefox, add-ons will start to function on March 14. This is due to the impending expiration of a crucial add-ons certificate. It is necessary to have Firefox version 128 or later, and for users of the long-term support version, ESR 115.13+.
This is not the first time that browsers have done this to allow users to keep using add-ons. New certificates are issued, protocols change, or add-on compatibility problems can occur. Regardless of the reason, updating the browser can often fix them.
No matter what operating system you are using, you should do this. Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows are all impacted. Installing at least version 128 is recommended if you are using these operating systems. Use the long-term support version if you are running an older operating system.
It is crucial to verify the version you have installed and, if required, install an updated version. To accomplish this, select "Help" from the menu in the upper right corner, then "About Firefox." The version you have installed will be visible there. It is 136 in this instance. The update and installation will start if your version is out-of-date. To ensure the changes take effect and you do not experience any issues, you will be asked to restart the browser after it is finished. The process is quick and simple.
