I would like to know a process for running firefox 51 with the latest Firefox on the same mac, without corrupting my profile

I need to update an old resource which requires Flash, so in a safe environment I need to run a browser with Flash enabled, which means Firefox 51. My mac has the latest firefox installed, currently 71. Whenever I load up firefox 51, when I return back to the latest Firefox my profile has corrupted, specifically: 1) places.sqlite has become places.sqllite.corrupt and is replaced by a fresh places.sqlite- the former corrupt file cannot be replaced/renamed as places.sqlite anymore 2) favicons.sqlite becomes favicons.sqlite.corrupt 3) all addons are marked as disabled. Reenabling them by editing extensions.json (changing all instances of appDisabled”: true to “appDisabled”: false) does not make the plugins enabled again
Here are my various attempts at doing this safely: 1) without turning internet off when running up firefox 51: corrupts the latest firefox install - requires redownloading and setting up 2) turn internet off, load up firefox 51, tell it to never update. Then continue closing and loading up current firefox - profile is corrupted as above 3) first Visit about:profiles in latest firefox, set the default profile to a new profile "switchToMeBeforeLoadingOldFirefox". Close browser and reopen, note a default blank profile. Close new firefox. Open old firefox without internet at above - frustratingly just doing this with my 'real' profile open in the mac's finder, I can see the sqlite temprary files being created in my 'real' profile when firefox 51 is open, corrupting it all as above. The files in the profile 'switchToMeBeforeLoadingOldFirefox' seem unaltered
That last point was particularly unexpected! Can someone provide a fullproof process please?

A webpage interactive feature is disabled - I checked about:config and javascript is 'enabled' which I understood to mean there should be no problem with interactive features. The feature in question is a simple customizing window on a retail shopping site that allows me to select and view the colors I'd like to order. I've used it before so it was possibly the last FF update that killed it but I am not certain of that.

Using Firefox 71.0 (and previous), my bookmarks stored in folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar open up on another ddisplay than where Firefox is.

Why does Sync prompt me to install "on another device" when this is the fourth or fifth active device I've logged into the account with?

Over the past few days, I've logged into Firefox on a few new devices - mainly, a Windows partition on my computer, and on a school computer.
In both instances, after logging in, it doesn't give me any indication of being finished - instead it prompts me to "install on another device". Most recently, on this computer, it asked me to send an SMS to my phone to login to Firefox Sync on my phone.
This would be reasonable, except for the fact that I'm already using Firefox on my phone, and have it actively logged in with the account I'm logging in to. When I go to look at my devices on accounts.firefox.com, I have 6 devices listed, including my phone "last seen 7 hours ago" and my main computer "last seen 3 hours ago". It's clear to me that these are active devices, and that I don't need to install on any other devices to get sync working.
The main reason this is annoying is that I don't get any confirmation that I've completed logging in - only a prompt to do something unnecessary. I can work around this by simply ignoring the prompt, but I'm concerned for other less tech-savvy consumers who might be confused, thinking they're still not done when they login to Sync on their second device! Imagine someone logs into their phone first, and then the computer - it'd be pretty confusing to then have the computer ask them to sign in on the phone.
I personally was slightly confused, and had to double check that bookmarks were actually syncing and that I hadn't accidentally made a new account or done something to erase my previously logged-in devices...

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?
