Lynx will never pull that shit over on you.

[scriver]

So I guess it's time to stop using Firefox now. I dunno where to go to though.

Palemoon or Waterfox?

I don't know what that means

Or this

Other browsers? Should I look into them?

I'm not sure I understand how your problem happened Scriver. You say that a new Firefox installed itself, but you have the old one still on your system? That's nothing to do with updates then, as far as I know. You'd have to manually run the installer again for that to happen. Also, you can turn off updates in any version of Firefox.

Also, since you said that it's a separate install to your old one, then naturally, it can't access the user settings from your previous browser into the new one. They're different installs. You can only transfer over settings when it's an update of the existing install. The "firefox account" thing is a way to preserve settings even when it's a completely fresh copy of the browser install.

What OS, and what version number is the old one? If the old one is pre-67 then it would be clear why it couldn't update so installed a separate copy. Firefox was entirely re-written for version 67 onwards, so it's not really a compatible install.

My recommendation is to use portable installs wherever possible. Google portable apps and the program you want. Much less hassle, easier to back up, since they store the profiles in the same folder as the application. I have two portable versions of Firefox. One, of the final Version 66 browser (updates turned off just in case), to make use of bulk downloaders and other XUL extensions which are not compatible, and one of the latest Firefox.

Someone on a online game tried to insult me by saying i was nice and normal like it was an insult.
Oh, he also insulted my good spelling.

Is this sarcasm? When is saying you are nice, normal, and a good speller insulting? I guess I’m confused. Never heard of things like this being insults before

What if it's a BDSM-themed speed typing game? What then?

[pikachu17]

He also included actual insults, but he kept repeating that I was normal and spelled carefully like it was an insult.
He also said I was nice once like it was an insult.
This was on Gang Garrison 2, not a BDSM-themed typing game, unfortunately.
Apparently, I wasn't "rad" and "cool" enough for him. And, yes, he did say that I wasn't rad. Was he forty or something?

Old one is version 68.0.1, new one is 68.0.2. And it downloaded and installed the new version when I opened Firefox upon starting my computer, like it used to do with updates, only it installed itself as a separate installation rather than update the one I'm using.

It’s unfortunate that people insult people. I wish there was something I could do

That sounds like a bug then. My one updated to the same version without any of that happening.
