Firefox
I have always in private mode enabled. Why is there a small web cache stored each time I open firefox?

Basically I have Never Remember History enabled, and each time I open FF there's data in 'Cookies and Site Data'. Under 'Cookies and Site Data' it will say there's a bit of data (in the photo is says 16Kb, which is pretty typical). If I look under 'manage cookies and site data' there will be nothing there. Sometimes the cookies or cache or whatever is bigger if the last time I used that profile I was watching videos, at most it will be a couple Mb's maybe. If I wipe it out, it will go to 0Kb, and then for the rest of the profile session, even if I have a bazillion tabs open, it will say 0, but then there's always a cache there the next time I start that profile.
What is it? Why is there always a small amount of data in the 'Cookies and Site Data' section each time I restart a profile?
I'm currently running version 68.2.0esr on Debian Linux version 5.3.0-1-amd64. Extension: uBlock Origin 1.23.0
uMatrix 1.4.0
Canvasblocker 0.5.14.
Plugins: OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. (disabled) Version 1.8.1.1
Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. Version 4.10.1440.19
I have web history turned off ('Never Remember History'), trackers blocked, cookies enabled w/ third party disabled, auto search engine update turned on, Do Not Track enabled, 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' enabled by default (b/c history is off). I might have changed a few tiny things in about:config but nothing I remember offhand. Any other system info I can look up in need be.
How do I, once and for all, never, ever to return, actually disable Firefox auto-updates?

Once again, without any warning, Firefox demanded I power-cycle itself because it, *without any permission*, installed an update "in the background". Firefox refuses to carry out any further action until I comply with its demands.
Let me be very clear: forced auto-updates are **100% EVIL**. I own, and am ultimately responsible for, this computer. Me. Not you. Me.
Download the update, fine. Notify me about it, present to me what the changes are coming, sure.
But under absolutely NO CIRCUMSTANCES is Firefox, or any other program for that matter, to modify itself or any other element of this computer without my positive consent.
Thanks a bunch!

I'm on Linux, and updated to Firefox 66 yesterday. I was looking forward to the new feature that disallows websites auto-playing videos. But I found that it's not the case. For example, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-19/how-an-extra-man-in-cockpit-saved-a-737-max-that-later-crashed still starts playing the video automatically. This is just one of the many I've tried so far.
Am I missing any settings? There was none I could find having done a quick search on the preference page.
WHY ISN'T MY FIREFOX UPDATING?

Editing mode/normal mode, button, and keyboard shortcut. Abstract: Today the web is overcrowded with hyperlinks, there are so diverse and so many that many times there's no blank space left to make focus on the page, also it's hard to copy a link name. The hover cursor is almost omnipresent.
If there was some key shortcut to enable/disable hovering and link following to edit mode, this problem would be solved. Focus and edit inside all the page, And would be more secure than whatever certificate.

As of about firefox 63, it will no longer be possible to prevent firefox from checking for updates as the preference (option) to do so is being removed. In the past, it was simply a matter of setting the option to never check for updates. This is important in an organization as you want everyone to be at the same level. In such organizations, the latest firefox would be obtained once, checked out, then rolled out to the organization from it's support system team/person. Is there going to be a way to prevent the message "an update is available, please install?"

On the site https://vsx.mpchat.com , firefox-ESR falls when video broadcasting is enabled. It appeared on version 60 - in the future this problem persisted - in 60.1.0, 60.2.0, 60.3.0. In versions up to 60, this problem was not. Other browsers work well with these sites for translation. Complete cleaning of browsers, reset, reinstall-did not help.

Dear Developers,
I'm using Firefox v60.0.1 on Debian Linux. I was wondering why on Earth is the Ctrl-Q shortcut is defined at all to immediately close all tabs and quit the browser? I think it is an extremely bad idea to have this shortcut, since it is very easy to accidentally hit it by mistyping Ctrl-W, which is in turn oftentimes used.
I suggest to remove Ctrl-Q from future versions, or at least give the user the option to turn it off. In the current version I have found no way to do it, if there is, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!
No CSD (Linux client side window decorations) under Openbox, Arch Linux

I'm using Firefox under the Openbox WM on Arch Linux and I cannot enable CSD. As seen in the picture, the "Title Bar" customize option changes actually nothing. The WM's default window decoration remains visible and there's no change at all. This issue applies to all versions of Firefox since CSD was introduced, i.e. since v 60 (as far as I can recollect) till now. Is that a bug or am I simply missing something important? I've tried creating a completely new Firefox profile - same thing then. Other apps (like Evince or Google Chrome) show client side decorations properly in my case. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
