I had to uninstall and reinstall firefox on my computer, because for some reason it wasn't online, while every other app was. After I tried everything else, i uninstalled and reinstalled again and after a restart of the computer it was all good. except my passwords and bookmarks are still in my filesystem, but don't show up. I have tried importing it back, but the preferences don't have an import option and i didn't find any plugins either for it. Copypasting to the new account "somethingsomething.default" folder, the json file with key3.db didn't make a difference either.
any tips on how to solve this problem? i am honestly lost

Since WebExtensions is a seperate process from Firefox, how can we relaunch WebExtensions process alone?

I would like to relaunch WebExtensions process to see, if WebExtensions process is responsible for reloading-re-reading the extensions from the firefox extensions folder. (/lib/firefox/browser/extensions)
What is the correct way to do that?
Firefox 60.8.0esr opens a new browser instead of new tab

I have just reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 and FF 60.8.0esr, just found out that FF does not open URL link in email in a tab, instead opens up a new browser! In my previous install, this version of FF was working fine, but there's a difference, I had installed a newer version of FF in my previous install, but on this one, I removed the FF that came with Ubuntu and installed 60.8.0esr (reason for using this specific version is newer ones some sites that I need to visit quite often does not work). How can I fix or troubleshoot this problem? ps: dual boot Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 16.04.

Firefox isn't clearing cookies for a website in my exception list after closing the browser

I put twitter.com into the Preferences->Cookies&Site Data->Manage Permissions list, with "Allow for Session" as the option.
I left "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" unchecked, because we're not worried about most of the websites.
However, it didn't have the desired effect!
I'm using the FF password manager to keep all my passwords under one master password, sync'd across all my devices which is great, but our family computer is causing problems: I want some important websites to have its session cookies cleared down when anyone exits the browser, so that I have to re-enter the master password before anyone's passwords are available.
So it seems that the Manage Permissions list isn't working. The only effect I saw is that twitter now askes me to approve the use of cookies every time!
After trying it out several times, my logged-in session on twitter.com is still active and I can see with an add-on that all the twitter cookies are still there. In fact there must be about 50 cookies there, loads of them!
After experimenting a bit more, I realised that it's because I kept the twitter tab open when I closed FF, and FF opens up twitter again straight away when restarted.
So do I have to close the tab before I close FF? What happens if it's the only or last tab open?
Include overlay content (e.g. GDPR dialogs) in Firefox quick find for links

I find the Quick Find keyboard shortcut ' for links in Firefox very useful for navigating a large portion of the web with keyboard only, but I notice that it doesn't work with most overlaid content, for example most GDPR dialogs or prompts to please log in or register. Is there a setting or add-on for Firefox to fix that or would a simple change to the HTML make that content searchable with Quick Find?
Example: Delete cookies. Open Yahoo. Press 'OK. Search result not found. Press Ctrl-F OK. Search result found. Then it's possible to press Tab and Shift-Tab to select the OK link, but by pressing the apostrophe key it apparently never works for any links on overlay windows.
Disclosure: I had asked this question four months ago on superuser, but didn't get any comments or answers (https://superuser.com/questions/1413795/include-overlay-content-e-g-gdpr-dialogs-in-firefox-quick-find-for-links)
Firefox freeze my Kubuntu system

Problem: in the last couple of months, every so often (i think every couple of week, or so) Firefox freeze my entire system. It happens randomly, doesn't matter what website I'm browsing. Nothing responds, absolutely nothing, and I'm forced to reboot the system.
When the system reboots, I restart Firefox, does not matter if I chose to start a new session or restore the previous one, after a few minutes the same freeze happens. And I'm forced to reboot.
After a freeze, if I delete the history and cookies, Firefox is going to freeze again after a few minutes. So far, the only work around I have found is to create a new profile, and let Sync doing the rest of the job. This however is only a workaround, it does not stop Firefox to eventually freeze again the entire system. As I told you before, after a couple of weeks (top) it freezes again.
Is there any way I can understand why Firefox freezes my system?

The latest version of Firefox isn't playing a streaming radio station (WWOZ, https://www.wwoz.org/listen/player/). The site appears to load fine but the Play button does nothing when I click it. (That is, it turns into a Pause button as it should for less than a second before reverting to a Play button.) It works fine on a different browser and on firefox on a different computer.
This system, where it does NOT work is: Firefox 67.0.4 (64-bit) for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 Running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, 64 bit, GNOME 3.28.2
It DOES work on: Version 75.0.3770.90 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit) (same laptop as above)
and it DOES work on: Firefox 67.0.4 (64-bit) for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 Running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (different laptop from above)
Any idea why this is happening? Any other troubleshooting info I can provide?
