I now have two Firefox apps downloaded and I'm not sure what to do. Please see the one I have attached since it has a completely different name: Windows MSIX Package Mozilla MSIX 1.0 The other app has the usual information such as Version, which is the same as the image I uploaded for you. The only difference between the two is Windows MSIX Package Mozilla MSIX 1.0 is excluded from the second Mozilla Firefox app.

The first one I downloaded was with the Windows app. through the Windows Store.

Now, what do I do? Obviously, I need to delete one of these and I don't know which one to delete or where to find these files.

Also, when I unpin the app from the taskbar both app icons come back.

HELP, please Rhonda

Has anyone else downloaded Firefox through the Microsoft Store? This seems to be the most updated version with the correct information. For the past months, I receive an email from Firefox asking me to acknowledge that this is ME logging into Firefox. However, the old version shows Windows 8 as my OS. I have never used Windows 8 ever! Since I downloaded Firefox from the Microsoft store, I still receive the daily email but at least the information is correct showing OS 10 instead of 8.

If you use the MSIX version from the MS Store then updates are handles by MS update and this version also has its profile folder in a different location. Also some features may not work or work differently.
