https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/firefox-labs/loosing-all-browsers-upon-restart-of-firefox-updater/m-p/104829#M4688 <P>The last time I did an update with firefox, mozilla moved in and</P><P>took over with the deleting all the browsers I had up. I had all the correct items clicked with</P><P>firefox the default browser with keeping everything the same, but that didn't matter when</P><P>what I believe was Mozilla/firefox pulled in and asked if it could make changes in my computer. I said</P><P>yes, thinking all my history would be still there upon restart because I had all the items selected to keep</P><P>as part of my history with firefox. However, this didn't make any difference when the installer completed, all my browsers were gone, all my settings were deleted,in other words a lot of important history was not recoverable, even though I had set things up in settings to do so.&nbsp; So now, I'm deathly afraid to say "yes" to the installer when it says,"allow firefox/mozilla to make changes to my desktop computer. The final result, of course, is my computer never gets updated by firefox/mozilla and I have to use the earlier version of firefox which I think is something like 142 version.&nbsp; How to solve this, when several browsers I have up I don't want to lose just for the sake of the update/installer from firefox/mozilla saying, "will you allow firefox/mozilla to make changes to your computer." I can't lose everything again like last time. Please reply and help me to resolve when I do want to stay with firefox as my default browser.
