After a recent automatic update my old problem with Firefox Quantum came back. Every time I open Firefox browser I get multiple 4-6 firefox.exe running in the background processes. When I go into details and try to end process tree it crashes my browser. When I open Firefox it starts all over again. I have gone into about:preferences and
De-select ‘Use recommended performance settings’ Set Content process limit value to ‘1’ from its default value
I have also gone into about:config and switched browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false. Still have the same problem.

I am trying to get content from washingtonpost.com . They need me to disable tracker blocking. The standard help screen (capped below) says to just click the button labeled "Turn off Blocking for This Site." Only trouble is, no such button actually exists on the information popup screen (Clicking the circled 'i'). The popup screen I get looks exactly like the one in the help, except for the missing button. I have tried all the suggestions in other posts and none of them work. I notice I am not the only one with this problem. Is it possible my install of Firefox is corrupted? But nothing else I have noticed is wrong. I am running Firefox quantum 68.0.1 under Ubuntu xcfe.

Not muted in Volume Mixer, audio does not show activity in volume bar for volume mixer. All other audio for other application on my system work fine but no audio on firefox from any source, i.e. youtube, twitch, netflix. All audio seems disabled but there isn't any indication anywhere that it's muted.

About once a week, my default browser search changes itself to Yahoo and I have to go into Preferences and manually change it back to Duck Duck Go. I have tried all the suggestions in the other answers to this question. I do not have any Yahoo extensions or anything suspicious. I have searched my entire computer for "Yahoo" and find nothing. I do not have a folder for Firefox, or any preferences file, only the application itself. I am on a Mac so Windows answers don't help me.

I need to allow some websites to store cookies, all other cookies are getting deleted every time I close FireFox. There is a dialogue "Cookies and Website-Data"-->"Permissions" that lets me whitelist specific websites. Cookies of these websites should be excepted from the deletion when closing FireFox.
The problem is that everytime I close firefox the whitelisted websites disappear... I had this problem already with Version 69, its still there in 70...
Thanks in advance for any hints...

Normally when I close three windows with a number of tabs, they open up without any problem. Sometimes I open one of the closed windows by opening recently closed windows. This time nothing comes up. And the recently closed windows (and tabs) is empty. Also, Bing has become my home page, which I would never chose myself. It happen 7th December 2019.
Any Idea what casuses this. It is very anoying, since I cant remember all websites I visited or rather saved.

When I push the mouse to the top of the screen to change tabs, it immediately brings up both the Menu bar and the grey bar along the top of Firefox - blocking off the tabs I want to select.
This feels too sensitive and I am not making a deliberate extra push to bring this up - is there a way of making it harder to appear?
