Why is there a file named Old Firefox Files on my Desktop after upgrade? Are they needed?
If I don't need them, how do I delete the file?

Hi Folks,
I've been using Firefox forever but as a note ..... lately it's hanging and just generally being a pain on all kinds of websites. I dunno if it's the web 2.,0 (grin) or your recent work but either way ..... it's starting to crap out on more websites more often.
Nothing personal it's just life - we want it to work - and we want it to work right - and yes, we expect it for free - if you can't deliver ....... BYE!
My big PIA right now is the fact that my videos keep hanging on sites like imgur and youtube, and it's enough to make me dump browsers, hell I was a Netscape boy for years too! Where are they now? Happy in Chrome and pain in Firefox is all I can see.
It's not a tech question and yes I refreshed the FireFox browser ....didn't do squat as I have other times so rather and dick around with it more and more often as it seems I have to .... it and you are unfortunately going to go away.
Cheers' Dave
PS - fan boys's or for that matter anyone need not reply ......

I use Secret Server by thycotic. There is a known issue where the site does not display properly and this is fixed by setting the preference "dom.url.getters_decode_hash" to true. They have a public article describing this (https://thycotic.force.com/support/s/article/ka0370000005PuPAAU/Blank-Dashboard-in-Firefox).
When I set this preference previously it fixed the issue however lately I noticed that it doesn't appear to be working anymore even though it is still set properly. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and "refreshed", and when I went back into the about:config page the preference was nowhere to be seen. Sooo, I tried creating it manually - no effect...
Has this preference been removed? Is there a replacement which will fix this issue?

I just downloaded Firefox Developer Edition the other day, and I'm noticing that the back, forward, and refresh buttons look like they've taken a step backward as they won't combine with the address bar anymore, like my regular Firefox does. How can I get that behavior back?

Hi, I've had to buy a new preschool laptop for the email chair@ncpweb.org.uk. We are a charity run preschool which is committee lead. The gentleman who set up the email has now left and I cannot remember what the password is for it.
Please would it be possible to set up a new password as this is the Chair persons laptop and the charity commission would be chasing me for our end of year accounts.
I was previously using the email and you will see emails sent to trudynorman69@aol.com as this is my private email address. I would set up a new account but I would loose all the saved emails which are important and need to be kept including this years accounts from Diverso accountants.
Many Thanks
Trudy :)

I had to refresh Firefox. Afterwards, once at my home page, if (for example) I clicked on a bookmark, the tab would go to the bookmark page instead of opening a new tab/page (that would result in both tabs/pages open). I want to be able to have multiple pages open at one time (as it was before the refresh).
I searched for a fix and followed the instructions for the "about:config" solution but it was unsuccessful.

I have had Firefox on my laptop since the day I purchased this laptop back in 2013. I never had any problems til a month ago when I tried to open it and it said "Couldn't Load XPCOM". Now, I have uninstalled it. I erased EVERY file that pertains to Mozilla and Firefox (including the AppData and computer drive). I have tried reinstalling the program several times with no luck. This is VERY frustrating especially since I love the Firefox program and have now had to use Chrome, which I'm not impressed with. I have read other questions answered and basically telling me to uninstall and reinstall again (after erasing files) and everything will be "fine and dandy".... No, nothing has worked that I have researched and it's getting quite frustrating. Please someone give me a different route to take. Should I uninstall my antivirus program (AVG)? What should I do? My issue is the fact that nothing was installed or changed before last month, when it wouldn't open up. Thanks for your time.

When using the global search function, search results are not highlighted in the messages found containing the search parameters. Looking for a single word in a twenty-page file is a disaster. How would one configure global search to highlight the word or phrase when it is found?

I am running Firefox 55.0.3 on my PC. The Firefox Options > Privacy > Accept cookies from sites > Exceptions list includes cookies from http://.sekindo.com and http://www.sekindo.com as well as the secure (https) versions of these websites. Nonetheless, every time I run a SUPERAntiSpyware scan it finds those Sekindo tracking cookies again in my Firefox Profile. The same is true of the ads2.opensubtitles.org tracking cookies. The scan results are attached. Any assistance or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
