I'm using Firefox Developer Edition. I love Firefox. But when I change some CSS property colors on developer tools, it does not work instantly. For example, if I choose background-color it takes a little bit of time to show on web page. I'm front-end developer and sometimes I need to test different colors on my screens.

since v67 firefox uses separate profiles for stable, beta and nightly builds. that's a huge step in the right direction. running versions side-by-side was mentioned in a nightly blog post: https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2019/01/14/moving-to-a-profile-per-install-architecture/ KB-document: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation
But how would I run stable and beta side-by-side?
Problems I am facing:
- both stable and beta released versions are called "Firefox.app" on macOS. So I can't have both in the programs folder
- If I rename Firefox.app (beta) to Firefox_beta.app macOS complains that signatures for that app are invalid (which is expected, so that's not a solution)
It would be awesome to run those versions in parallel. But how would that be done?

For my copy of Firefox, the bookmarks menu repeats itself as sub-folders ad infinitum: "Show All Bookmarks>All Bookmarks/Bookmarks Menu... /All Bookmarks/Bookmarks Menu... /All Bookmarks/Bookmarks Menu...." Each sub-level contains all the bookmarks of its parent level. Deletion of a "Bookmarks Menu" sub-folder results in deletion of corresponding parent folders and their contents.

Both Edge and MS IE show a ton of cookies and temp files even when I clear all temp and cookie files with CCleaner before opening Firefox. Can Edge and IE be safely deleted just so that everything stays private? Even when I use TOR both load up on cookies and temp files. Being a privacy freak, are any of these browsing files available to MS to sell?

Does Firefox create a process called DTRT.EXE immediately after Windows is rebooted?
Shortly after a reboot or an exit from sleep mode a process called DTRT.EXE runs, using about 25% of CPU resources. After a couple of minutes it goes away.

Will allowing a Firefox "Refresh" create a restore point so that computer may be later restored to that point to view email account open at time of "Refresh'?

I went to an institution computer lab/3-D printing site in regard to printing (manufacturing) my patented product. During the interview I had to resort to my email about scheduling details and a pop up to "Refresh" Firefox came up. Being somewhat tired I allowed it. And being partly blind I failed to notice that my Yahoo email had the " Say signed in" in their default "Go" position. I signed out of my email but when I reopened the computer several minutes later,I noticed all my emails were there for anyone to read. Since this involved a patent situation, where IP stealing is always a problem, this was a concern. I logged out and was able to closed the email access only 10 or 20 minutes after the initial breach. But I wonder if the Firefox "Refresh" created a restore point so that a person with administrative authority on the computer could do a system restore to the point of Firefox "Refresh" and gain access to all my sensitive emails. Unfortunately the Yahoo default "stay signed in" often tends to put the user in rape- ready position. Subsequent refreshes or restarts may inadvertently leave the front door open for hacking of all your emails involving lawyers, accountants, mistresses, political improprieties etc.

If I save a file, it saves to downloads. If I open a file it saves to c:/users/me/appdata/local/temp... but is NOT saved in downloads. So if I want it in downloads I have to "Save As" - this is an extra step, and sometimes I forget and then have to find the temp directory. This wastes time because who can remember "oh, I didn't save the file so I need to look somewhere else".
In addition, C: drive is an SSD with space constraints so the temp folder is there. Downloads is on D: where space is not an issue.
Chrome downloads everything to downloads.. how sensible... and then opens in "program" so it is all in one place.

"Clear private data" does nothing. Only closing Firefox clears it.

If I go to settings and have all the options checked in "clear private data" it does not actually clear anything. Websites still have me logged in. Only if I close Firefox and reopen it does it actually clear all the cache and cookies. This would not normally be an issue, but Firefox takes about 3 minutes to connect to the first website I try to connect to when it is first started. So, having to restart Firefox every time to clear data is a nuisance. I am updated to the latest version of Firefox.
How do I view the WHOLE console log, not just the most recent entries?

I'm trying to write a userscript and I have it writing to console.log so I can see why when something goes wrong. However, the console log routinely hides most of what I write to it. I can plainly see that, even though the script executes from the beginning, the log starts somewhere in the middle of the script execution, and vital information that I *NEED* is always cut off "above the fold".
I would be willing to settle for: 1.) Seeing ALL the console log entries my script writes, not just the small subset Firefox decides to show me 2.) Logging to a file instead of the console 3.) Using a remote logging service, if there is a free one that works (IE not Loggly). 4.) Running a webserver on my computer and logging via remote calls to that 5.) A way to use JSON.stringify to append the log to tags in the open web page... I actually had this working, but Firefox logs objects as "[object object]" so I can't see them. I already know they're objects, I need to see what they contain!
Any of these would work for me. I just need to be able to look at the log and see the order the various parts of my scripts executed in.
What would NOT work for me is:
1.) Using the script debugger. The problem I'm seeing is very sporadic, and my script uses jQuery, the amount of javascript that executes very quickly is really large, so manually stepping through script execution would require literally hours or days of tapping away, without even being sure the error will occur for me to see. I really need to just be able to use the web normally, and then, when the error occurs, being able to look at the log and see the script execution documented exactly as I set up my console.log commands to do.
The fact that I just spent the better part of two days unable to find a simple solution to the problem of just viewing my script's log entries, is making me think Firefox is not an adequate browser for javascript development. Am I making a mistake trying to develop on Firefox? Is Firefox no good for troubleshooting javascript on?
