How to Prevent Firefox Requires a Manual Update Popup


Using the Firefox web browser sometimes becomes a hectic task. Since the browser contains add-ons, it pushes various ads and pop-ups from time to time. The Firefox Requires a manual update keeps popping out on the screen while using Firefox which pretends that the Mozilla Firefox needs an update.
When we open a page on Firefox, the message pops up in the tab which redirects us when we click on it. It happens because of the add-ons which unintentionally get installed in the computer which sometimes results in the freezing of Firefox and making it unresponsive. But fortunately, there is a way through which you can troubleshoot the problem in a few minutes and make your Mozilla Firefox work again correctly.
Here how to prevent the Firefox Requires a Manual Update popup
The only way to prevent the popup from occurring is through Task manager and Windows Settings.
If you are receiving the popup continuously, then try to close the domain which you are currently viewing.
1.       Now press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open Task Manager directly.
2.       Go to the Processes tab.
3.       Now you will see all the process running on your computer.
4.       Click the Show process from all users button to see the running programs.
5.       Now, navigate through the list and select the web browsers running on your PC.
6.       Make sure have selected the Firefox also.
7.       Click on the End Process tab from the bottom of the task manager.
8.       Now, open Control Panel in your computer.
9.       Find and click Uninstall a program under the Programs option.
10.   Now, it will feature all the installed programs and applications in your computer.
11.   Determine any unwanted or useless program from the list.
12.   Remember the date of such applications and programs should match the Firefox requires a manual update message.
13.   Now, select them and click the Uninstall tab from the top of the list. Uninstall these programs one by one.
14.   Press Windows key + R and open the Run program in your system.
15.   Type regedit and hit the Enter button from the keyboard.
16.   Click Edit and then go to Find Next.
17.   Now enter the name of the programs you removed.
18.   If the Windows Registry shows files and folders related to the search in the results, then remove all of them.
With the use of the Windows Registry, you also remove the hidden file of Firefox requires a manual update.
Resetting the Mozilla Firefox
Since the popup has been removed from the system, but still the web browser contains some add-ons which keep appearing like an alert. It is necessary to reset the Firefox browser as well.
1.       Open Mozilla Firefox.
2.       Now, go to the address bar and type about:support.
3.       Press the Enter button.
4.       Now the Troubleshooting information page will open.
5.       Select Refresh Firefox and click again to confirm.
6.       Now, click the Finish button.
7.       Restart the web browser in your computer.
As you have used the Windows Registry, you have to reboot your computer. The popup will not appear while running Firefox because the hidden files supporting the popup are removed from the registry. But, the web browser is unpredictable, so there are chances that you may face the situation again. If it happens, then you know what to do.

Firefox tweaks ad tracker blocking to stop breaking websites

Image
Mozilla is improving its approach with a new Firefox tool called ‘enhanced tracking protection’ for keeping site and advertisers from stalking your online activities. In the new Firefox 63, the feature has arrived, released on Tuesday; however, it’s been disabled by default for now. It’s intended to cause fewer problems with sites than the tracking protection that has been introduced as an option in Firefox 57 November, which was found by Mozilla, possibly will break websites and block advertisements.
