    Mozilla Firefox on Features Update Windows 10 version 1709?

    Mozilla Maintenance Service has been a part of Mozilla Update Mechanism for a while now. Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance are not a part of Windows 10 are not a part of Windows 10 though. So, you must have installed it without realizing.

    But, I have both Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance here in my Apps and Features. I installed Firefox a long time ago and its been a part of the upgrade mechanism ever since.

    Firefox has a nasty exploit, Mozilla encouraging users to upgrade...

    Windows 10 update seems to have erased all data files

    Do web browser "Firefox" got uninstall after upgrade?

    The Firefox profile folder is located here:

    • C:\windows.old\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    "AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.


    I slightly modified it

    I'm already on Version 40.0+.

    For an exploit to be active, someone would have to target you specifically.
    Is anyone here that important? I doubt that I am.

    Nevertheless, it's a good idea to patch any holes found, besides, 40.0 is just around the corner.
