@EGGMAN : if you want a Firefox that changes less-often (but still gets security-updates), you can move to the 153.7.0 "ESR" version, aimed at business users.

1. Download the installer here: https://www.firefox.com/download/all/desktop-esr/
2. Backup your current Firefox 160.0 data to a local folder:
Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and Synchronisation -> Turn on backup
3. Once done, you can uninstall Firefox 160.0 from Start -> Settings -> Apps
4. Then install Firefox ESR 153.7.0 from the setup file you downloaded earlier
5. Once it's installed, start it up and if your data isn't there, just import it back in from the backup:
Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and Synchronisation -> Restore your data

(Or if you use Firefox Sync, by signing into Firefox, you can simply sign into the ESR one and your data should sync back in from the cloud, so step 5 wouldn't then be necessary. But it's best to make a local backup first, just so you've got it to restore later, if needed.)

Alternatively, leave your current Firefox installed, but install Brave, Google Chrome, Opera or Vivaldi (or use Edge, which is already built-in on Windows 11 and 10 systems, or Safari if you're on a Mac), and use their "import" features to bring your Firefox data in.

Other subject, my choose, some users have multiple installations of Firefox, each in separate program folders. (e.g.) for example and Windows.
Create Mozilla Firefox Esr installation folder in C:\Program Files
Install Firefox Esr in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Esr

I'm growing frustrated with all of the constant updates to Firefox so much so I'm considering using a diffetent browser https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1590804
