In the past, when I clicked on a link outside of Firefox, a new tab was opened. Now I get a new window. I've tried this on multiple links and they all do the same thing: open a new window.
Also, when the new window is opened, it's a tab where there are other tabs already in place. These unwanted tabs are of websites I have previously closed.
How do I get Firefox to work the way the previous version worked? Failing that, how do I restore the previous version that worked right?

Last week in response to a prompt I created a new Firefox account and agreed to sync all of my devices. One of those processes resulted in my losing all bookmarks from my Firefox browser on my laptop.
When I follow the "Restoring from Backups" steps here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them), under "Restore," only two dates appear -- both from after the date of syncing. So even if Firefox automatically backed up my bookmarks prior to the sync, I can't seem to access them.
Is there any way to find and restore my lost bookmarks?
Firefox Doesn't Keep Tabs Loaded!

Hello. Since the last two or three updates, Firefox unloads my tabs automatically. Only the tabs that are opened mainly/principally in other windows (the "front pages" or the highlighted tabs of those windows) will be loaded continuously/permanently. If, let's say, I want to stay logged in on Facebook, I can't if it's opened in a different tab (that's not highlighted) - it will unload automatically as soon as I switch to a different tab (from the same window). This is really frustrating and it does it in Safe Mode too. Thank you for your answers!
Also, since those updates, I had some issues with form auto-filling - saved users and passwords will show on login fields as suggestions, but when I click on them, nothing appears in the fields and they will stay blank. Auto-filling bookmark tags will display the same type of behavior - not working or filling the tag that is firstly suggested from the drop-down list (even if I select the third or the fifth one). This issue diminished since the last update, but it still appears from time to time.
System information & details:
HW: HP 4530s/Intel Core i3-2330M @ 2,20 Ghz & 8 GB of RAM memory;
SW: Windows 10 Pro, version 1803/64-bit; latest version of Firefox.
Can't set FF as default.
Does not appear in Browser App list. Tried redownload, reinstall, restart - nothing works.
I recently refreshed Firefox. Despite the message appearing that passwords and bookmarks would be saved, they have disappeared. Any help please ?

I have tried restoring bookmarks, but the message appears that this is not possible. Also, I can not currently save a bookmark. I click to save the site but nothing happens. Also on the main Firefox page there is no automated saving of frequently used sites.

I find the autocomplete experience just awful. I type the first few letters of a site I've visited for the past few days and it's only the 5th match down, requiring me to arrow down to it or use my mouse (tsk tsk). Instead, sites I used to visit a lot appear near the top, or search suggestions. I read this list of autocomplete best-practices and thought you guys might find it inspiring: http://jeremymikkola.com/posts/2019_03_19_ru

Up until 3 days ago I was able to delete individual cookies. I would click on the remove selected cookies in the manage cookies pop up window. Next I would click on save changes button. I would click on remove button in the drop down removing cookies window. Then the drop down window and the manage cookies pop up window would both close and my selected cookies would be deleted.
Now everything is the same until I get to the drop down removing cookies window. I click on the remove button and the drop down removing cookies window closes, but the pop up manage cookies stays open and the cookies I selected to delete are not deleted.
I don't know if it's a bug or what. I have restarted firefox - still doesn't work. I have restarted my Mac - it still doesn't work.
Hopefully someone can help me.

Firefox Developer Edition (67.0b5) is my default browser I'm running windows 10.
if Firefox is running and i click on a link in my email, Firefox will open a new tab and show the page. if Firefox is NOT running and I click on a link, Firefox will open a blank tab; I'll have to click the link again - without closing Firefox - for the page to show.
this behavior is fairly new - about 4 updates back.
thank you;

I had a system crash, probably with Firefox opened.
After restarting PC and starting Firefox, most of the addons I have had lost all of their settings and were reset to default - Tampermonkey lost all the scripts I had installed, uBlock lost all settings and rules, etc. Weirdly some extensions kept portions of their settings, like TreeTabs saved tree structure despite also getting reset to default.
Additionally Firefox also got its own settings reset to default, while the tabs from my session and bookmarks were saved.
Is there any way to recover addon and Firefox settings, is there any backup of them?

Since update to 67.0b7 this morning, every password field offers "View Saved Logins" . I do not save logins. I will not save logins. I cannot find any setting to stop this behaviour. It is visually distracting, though it doesn't prevent login activity.
signon.autofillForms is false.
I strongly suspect is has something to do with "sync", because some "sync" thingie (maybe firefox account?) showed up in my toolbar after the update; I removed it. I don't use "sync".
(NB: I tried to upload an image, it is still "spinning" so I don't know if it will be attached. )
Thanks for your help and attention. -Merina

I'm trying to allow notifications for a website. I expected to select preferences from the address bar button drop down, go to notifications, and have the address of the website there in the search field, and have the option to allow it.
Instead, there is nothing in the search field. If I manually add an address to the field, nothing changes. No option to "add', only options to remove sites.
Maybe a site will only be there if it is set up for notifications?
Please explain.
thanks

I am using Video Download Helper with companion app, when downloading videos, the DownloadHelper will uses only one process of Firefox with very high CPU and memory usage. . Ans cause it does not take advantage of all the CPU cores it is very slow, and uses high memory for that process and will make all tabs in Firefox slow.
It seems that this process is the core process for Firefox, although it is a sub-process. It is the process that almost doesn't uses GPU memory.
When finished, if I killed this Firefox process to clean memory, cause it will just accumulate the memory in that specific process, all the tabs in the Firefox will crash and can't be refreshed, until I close Firefox and open it again.
Usually when I kill a Firefox process that is not responding, it will crash a few tabs and they can be refreshed after that.
Is there anyway that can make the companion app uses all processes for Firefox, so it will distribute the CPU usage to all cores, and if used a high memory it will be distribute the memory to all process and will be easier to clean.

When Firefox apparently updated itself while I was away from my computer, all of my Bookmarks vanished. I did not authorize this act, and am upset since I have a LARGE number of Bookmarks on my P.C. Why did the latest Firefox update seem to wipe out all Bookmarks? How can I recover the ones I've always stored in the Firefox Web interface? Recovering these Bookmarks is essential. Thank you in advance.
