Hi Firefox community,
whenever I want to start Firefox(Nightly), multiple error-messages with "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" are popping up. It takes some time for Firefox to be loaded but it shows all my bookmarks, so I assume the Firefox profile successfully loaded. I think the real problem are the error-messages because they slow my system so much and there is no end of this until I reboot/shutdown the PC. In the Windows Task-Manager the processes go up from 50(normal) up to 300 because of that. These error-messages might be a false alarm but I don't know how to fix that. Oh, and the windows of the error-messages are closing by itself after some seconds, but the process of these windows do not.
What I already did: - deleted profile - deleted the profiles.ini file (same problem with new Firefox profile) - created a new profile with firefox.exe -P - deleted the mozilla folders in local, locallow and roaming - uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - started Firefox as admin
Nothing from above seems to work.
I think these errors came with the update from 22.07.17
Firefox version: 56.0a1 Windows 7
I realy think these are false alarms, yesterday I could even update Firefox to the 24.07.17 update and websites are loading successfully but they slow everithing down.
After reinstallation Firefox suggested to refresh Firefox, so I think I deleted not all files. Maybe there is a removal tool for Firefox which removes all data, like these which are for Anti-Virus programs.
I have a backup of my old profile, so it doesn't matter if all Firefox files are deleted.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Only happens with Yahoo mail. I'll be working in another tab, and then notice that the yahoo mail tab has gone to a spam site.
I visited several sites yesterday doing research, and nothing looked suspicious. Since then the spontaneous action has been occurring. I don't have any plugins for Firefox (and still don't). I ran a virus scanner, and nothing was found. I don't allow downloads without my permission.
Thanks for your help.

Bottom Line Upfront: If a computer has Firefox ESR 52.2.1 and I run the installer for ESR 52.3.0 will it conduct an update or how will Firefox behave?
I am in charge of patching my region. I currently have quite a few computers that have Firefox ESR 52.2.1. We normally use BigFix to patch. I would like to just have BigFix push out the exe for 52.3, but want to make sure that will function as intended before I take action on the production network.
Thanks, Rhys Ferris

I put names and addresses into the Address Book. When I start typing, Thunderbird covers what I'm typing with other possible names and addresses. However, if I make a mistake typing, Thunderbird automatically fills the space in with some other combination of a name and an address. The other addresses cover up what I am typing so that it's easier for me to make a mistake. Then, I have to delete the whole mistakenly-added address and start all over. This Thunderbird action is irritating. How can it be corrected so that I can type a name and an address without Thunderbird's interference?

Why don't my bookmarks show Favicons?

The title should explain it sufficiently, but the behavior that I expected was for Firefox to automatically pull favicons from websites or at least allow that to be done manually. It appears that this does not happen. Has this been a feature that was removed, a bug, something on my computer, or something else? Basic Google searches didn't reveal much but a couple of addons that can do this process manually, but I am hoping to avoid this (and some of them no longer work).
Visiting websites doesn't cause the favicons to reload, and deleting and readding the bookmark doesn't work.
Yes, the addresses for the bookmarks are correct including the http(s):// prefix
Attached full info about my browser, but it's on Win 10 running Firefox 53.0.3 64 bit version with some extensions.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, in case I wish to try NoSquint Plus:
(1) Is it easily removable in case of problems, without having to figure out (for example) where on earth the Firefox Profile directory is located?
(2) Does NoSquint Plus interfere with non-javascript-email settings?
The reason I ask, is because in the past, when I tried "NoSquint" (not the plus-version)...it interfered with my YahooMail settings. (I use the Old Classic Non-Javascript version.
For example, the DELETE-MAIL button wasn't displaying.. But once I Removed nosquint, YahooMail became normalized again.
EMPHASIS: I only disable JavaScript for YahooMail, because the New YahooMail sucks. For most other sites javascript is enabled.
Thanks.
