Recently updated my 2012 MacBook Pro to macOS 10.15. After Firefox has been open for a while, it stops loading webpages. The title of the page loads, the browser window goes white and never displays anything; the page attempts to load continuously and navigation buttons don't respond. Other than that, Firefox operates and responds as though nothing's wrong. Meanwhile all other browsers can navigate the web just fine. Quitting Firefox (from the menu bar) causes the windows to close but an entry remains in "Force Quit" for an extended period. It can be forced closed from here, but doing so causes further attempts to open Firefox to have no windows appear; the only way to reopen Firefox appears to be to restart the whole computer. If allowed to close the rest of the way on its own- which can take up to 10 minutes- the crash dialog appears and Firefox can be restarted.
This has continued to happen despite repairing the drive, refreshing Firefox, removing and reinstalling Firefox, disabling hardware acceleration, running in safe mode, etc. There are no extensions installed and I have not synced my Firefox account.

Hi, I would like to point out that the drag n drop feature of Firefox is not really good.
I have used many linux distribution and faced this problem from the day I started using Linux. I thought Firefox team would notice this, and work on this, so I didn't report any bug. But the problem stayed the same.
The Problem: When you try to drag a file from any file manager (I used Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Pcmanfm, and Dolphin file managers) on Linux, it will not instantly pop the "Drag files here" on supported websites. For example, when you try to upload files to mega, you have to drag and drop multiple times before getting it working. That doesn't happen with Chromium.
Even worse, if you try to drag and drop hundreds of files, Firefox will crash. I have also tried Firefox Nightly and Firefox Beta. Same. No improvement on them. Here I would like to attach a screenshot of the crash.

My system is an iMac Pro with two smaller resolution secondary monitors. When FireFox is run on one of the smaller resolution monitors all drop-down lists present all the day but will only scroll through some of the data. Placing FireFox on the iMac Pro's built in high resolution display allows the drop-downs to render correctly. This issue is not seen with browsers based on Webkit or Blink.
Also impacted by the render issue are the control's for tab only respond to interaction on the bottom quarter.
The system is a iMacPro1,1 running MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta (19B77a), and FireFox is 70.0 of the beta update channel. The secondary monitors are 1920x1080

Since update I've notice an unaesthetics light border on the top of the firefox window (1st attachment). Before it was like 2nd attachment (taken from Thunderbird but it was the same in firefox), more pleasant, at least to my eyes.
It's not a bug or something serious.
Keep doin' good job you all. <3
Native windows u2f dialog blocking content

I recently started using security keys and when I go to a website requiring login I get some kind of windows native prompt to touch the key. However it blocks the content behind it making me unable to change some preferences before logging in (remember me for e.g.).
Interestingly I've tried on a different machine at my workplace and instead of a windows native window I get a small integrated prompt which doesn't have this usability issue. Both of the machines use Firefox 70.0 and windows 10. My copy of windows is 1903 (I don't know about the other machine).
Is there an option in firefox not to use native security prompts from windows?
