trouble with "open in new tab" command - stalls
The fix for the current AddOns but has been installed. Now, I'm experiencing failures to completely "load page in new Tab." The tab exists, the URL is pasted into it, but the spinner just spins. If I delete the last character in the URL and then retype that letter and hit Return, then it loads quickly.
Loading "over" the current tab seems to work normally.

Hi VerizonSucks, are you using right-click > Open Link in New Tab?
Do you notice the same pattern if you close the struggling tab and use that method again, or does it still struggle the second time?
I'm wondering whether this is more related to the opening of the new tab, or the loading of the URL. Not that any immediate reason for the problem comes to mind...
A Reset would take days & days to restore to my current configuration, if I could remember it at all.
"Do you notice the same pattern if you close the struggling tab and use that method again, or does it still struggle the second time?"
I'd say still fails the second time I try it. I thought maybe when I loaded one right after the other, and did not wait for the first to load, then then second would hang -- but no. Just seems random. I'm on a discussion forum and opening discussions in different tabs, so its not website specific.
Normally I would restart Firefox, but not going to do that until the Great AddOn Glitch of '19 is completely resolved.
AND my IP's mailbox server was down for some hours today, so not getting mail...
Please update to the current Firefox 60.6.2 release.

I'll give it a try... but any idea what's causing this problem all of a sudden? Tab is stuck on "loading" but if I click the X to stop, the click again -- it loads sccessfully.
OK so that took 40 minutes... Why is it that when I reload the last session, every window loses its name & just says "Mozilla Firefox" ? takes forever to click on 60 windows & get a title up. And they always reload out of order, so its no use recalling that the window I want was the last opened so is on the bottom of the drop-down.
And one "container" was "not responding" so had to be Force Quit (OSX) so that's gone completely.
