Mozilla has urged Firefox users to update their browsers by March 14 to prevent broken add-ons, DRM playback failures, and security vulnerabilities due to an expiring root certificate. Users with versions earlier than 128 or 115.13 for extended support will be affected by these issues. While users can technically continue using outdated versions, they risk experiencing several problems and missing important updates. This situation does not impact browsers such as Chrome and Safari, and the usual update process should suffice for most users.
"While it's possible to use Firefox without updating, you may experience problems such as add-ons being disabled, DRM media difficulties, and other interruptions," Mozilla advised this week.
"Skipping the update also means missing important security fixes and performance improvements. We strongly advise you to update to the latest version to avoid these issues and ensure your browser stays secure and efficient."
"Not updating Firefox ... can expose you to significant security threats," the org said. "Firefox relies on up-to-date security certificates for verifying content and maintaining user protection."
