Firefox ESR doesn't start at all with specific profile: [Child][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost

Hello! I am running firefox-esr version 68.5.0esr-1+b1 (from Debian testing) with a bunch of extensions (ublock origin, multi containers, suspend tab, open in browser, all in one sidebar, etc). Yesterday, I was suddenly unable to start firefox. I can see the profile manager and start another older profile, but not the one I really need to open. When I start from a terminal, I see this error message most of the time:
###!!! [Child][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost
I have created a new profile and started it with success; after copying all files from the faulty profile, the new one does not start.
I have tried to run with safe mode: still does not start.
I have found https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/426502/firefox-keeps-crashing-upon-launch/466522 which doesn't help.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile shows me how to copy bookmarks and cookies over. (I am not using any synchronization service.) I would very much like not losing my session (open tabs), but I don't know which file or database is holding it.
I would prefer not to have to spend a lot of time reinstalling and reconfiguring all extensions, but maybe it will be necessary. Thanks for any help troubleshooting this.

I seem to be encountering various problems since the update to 73, the main one is the profile folder, I dislike the default location so have previously just put my preferred location in appdata\roaming\mozila\profiles.ini but 73 regularly ignores this and puts a basic profile in the default location and alters profile.ini. Using the profile manager does not get any better results. I am also having problems with the home page, I have set a custom page but 73 often resets this to a blank page or sometimes the default home page. I have had to resort to a 'portable' version as 73 constantly resetting things was getting so annoying but the portable does not work well as a default browser.

SSL cert is on non-www version of my website. I set up .htaccess file to redirect to non-www URL. Firefox first goes to https://www. which isn't secure and before it can redirect to the non-www version that is secure it show a security warning. Example... you type www.anysite.com. first it resolves to https://www.anysite.com which doesn't have a SSL. The logic should then forward it to https://anysite.com which does have a SSL. Chrome and Opera resolve correctly. Firefox isn't waiting to the final URL and is prematurely showing an SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error.

I want pdf files to open automatically in Foxit Reader 9.7. I have already reset all download actions and set it to open automatically, but I'm still getting a popup asking, "What should Firefox do with this file?" This is very annoying and a waste of time. Please tell me how to make it stop.

Als das Update von FF 70 auf FF71 kam, hatte ich schon mal dieses Problem.
Ja, Firefox Updates ärgern mich. Ich benutze seit vielen Jahren Firefox. Angefangen habe ich mit Version 4 oder 5, damals wurde noch mit Anpassbarkeit geworben. Anfangs war es noch möglich, durch einen Mausklick zu bestimmen, ob die Tabs oben oder unten sind, dann kam eine neue Firefox Version. Ich habe mir eine UserChrome.css gemacht, die gut funktioniert hat, dann kam Firefox 57? und die Anpassbarkeit war Geschichte. Wer mit mehreren Tabs arbeitet und dafür sind die Tabs doch da, muss die Maus mehr bewegen und es ist unübersichtlich. Wäre es nicht sinnvoll, dass was ich am häufigsten benutze, in der Nähe der Arbeitsfläche zu haben?
Wäre es nicht besser die Tab Leiste standardmäßig nach unten zu legen und wer es anders möchte, der kann sich alle 10 oder 15 Versionen, eine UserChrome.css basteln. Das mit den alle 10 oder 15 Versionen, eine neue UserChrome.css zu basteln, ist jetzt wohl auch Geschichte.
Ich habe Stunden damit verbracht das in FF71 wieder hin zu bekommen und jetzt geht das in FF72 wieder nicht mehr.

Please continue here: [/questions/1276457]
The problem has occurred a few times in other sites as well but mostly when scrolling or just browsing facebook, the browser stops for a second or two and then all the images and videos of the page disappear. They don't reappear unless reloading the page. I've tried reinstalling, safe mode, and disabling addons. The problem does not seem to occur in safe mode but occurs in normal mode even with all addons disabled.

Running Firefox Linux 71.0 on Linux Mint. Occasionally when I try to open a tab, the page in it doesn't load, and I can't load any other page in the tab. In System Monitor I see an "IPC Launch #1" process for each time this happens. If I kill the process, the tab then displays "Your tab has crashed" with the usual form to submit a problem report. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Hi. I used to be able to use TEXT COLOR in Yahoo Mail under Firefox, but a few months ago, it stopped completely. Italics, bold, and underline still work as usual, but generally not via buttons at page bottom but only by using keyboard shortcuts. Icons for same page bottom don't work at all, as I just double-checked. I had forgotten about this problem, resigning myself to b&w, but yesterday, I got RED to work and said to myself, AHA IT IS FIXED! But today, it's gone back to black and white, as usual. Any ideas? (I am not sure if this Yahoo Mail problem is related to color settings in Firefox options which I have never touched....)

It is very tedious
I have to select the search option in the drop down menu.

What can I do to search directly?
