Is there an add-on that supports old security levels

I find it frustrating every time the browser knows more about what s best for me than I do. My server has a software console port that, for reasons passing understanding, required https protocol so every time I try to access the console I run into security/certificate errors because, presumably, the certificate built into the console software is out of date.
A more recent issue is a Tripp Lite KVM console with remote access that has become useless because the SSL protocol that is used by the KVM is no longer supported by any browser. (Cipher mismatch).
The easy answer, of course, is to call up HP and tell them to rewrite the console code - or tell the system owner to toss out his servers and buy new ones .... and of course, learn never EVER to buy a Tripp Lite product.
But what I'd really like is an option ... a software configuration in some browser ... I'd call it the "pull_the_stick_from_your_butt_and_let_me_do_what_I_want_to_do" mode
I really don't need to worry that the Proliant server sitting 30 feet from me is trying to spoof me.
Does any such software or add-on exist?

So, I finally bit the bullet and installed Firefox68. But nothing works as expected and I can't find anything in the options to help me.
Main problems at the moment: My address bar in Firefox54 shows lots of options. They disappeared when I upgraded. In Firefox54, when I open multiple tabs, they open on their own "line". In Firefox68, all I see is a "floater" with one tab. I want all my tabs to show at the "bottom". (I use tabmixplus).
I have tried to upload images but it just "circles and circles"
So let me try to describe Firefox54: Top line: oldstyle menu (File, Edit .....Help) Next line: address bar search bar pocket googleoptions home ...... Next line: bookmarks Next line: Prefbar Bottom line: open tabs
Firefox68: Top line: old style menu (File, Edit, View, ...) Next Line: address bar & search bar and that silly 3bars to show the menu. (everything else has disappeared) Next Line: bookmarks (all OK)
That's it. Even when I load multiple tabs, all I see is a tab that "floats" over the address bar & if I open multiple tabs, they seem to partially "hide" behind the menu area so I can vaguely see them behind the bookmarks & address bar - which is very disconcerting

FF was running very slow, and after searching online realized I was running a 32 bit version on a 64 bit computer. I downloaded the 64 bit version, created an account and synched - all went well and I was using the cloned version yesterday. Today after restarting my computer the new version reverted back to the initial install page, asking me to create an account or log in, and all my account info (settings/bookmarks/logins) is gone. How do I synch and then keep all info in new version? I'd like to migrate to the new one permanently and delete old version (which fortunately I haven't done yet). Thanks for any help!

About a month ago all of my login passwords disappeared and firefox isn't saving them anymore. I tried using the logins.jason with key3 or key4 files from the Old Firefox but it keeps renaming them corrupt.
It's been asking to save my passwords but it's not actually saving saving them and this is turning into a real; problem.
I posted about it then but I can't find it and besides what they said to do didn't work and someone said it was posted in the wrong place or something so I'm posting it again.
Thanks

I loved my old Firefox. I had great add-ons and I was happy with my bookmarks. This new version was installed and I had to import my bookmarks, and find new add-ons.

From Google search, click a link to a spam website, click back--2nd website with firefox popup "today's lucky visitor" and offers a $1000 Amazon gift card. I was searching through google and did click on sites before with many ads, but never within these sites did I click anything else. Now, after this coming from what looked like a legit website, it brings me these webpages.
Not sure if I click more in the back button browser for Firefox why it doesn't bring me back to the Google search page. I'm now scared to do anything else to give it any more access. What can I do now to make sure I clean the browser? I though Firefox would protect me from this sort of thing more. I also thought I was a pretty careful searcher. Where did I go wrong?

WOW Surprise; FF just updated itself and needs to restart.... here was me thinking I had set it to notify me when there is an update, but it looks like a previous update removed that function. I suddenly found I couldn't open usable tabs, all I would get is a lovely message telling me FF had updated and needed to restart, but not to worry because it will restore my session! Now, I had 3 sessions open with each having 15-20 tabs, and they all had to be closed and reloaded... Oh well it looks like I don't have a choice so here goes... I clicked restart and waited, it didn't restart! Ok, so I have to manually do the relaunch thing, great, my 3 FF windows are returning..... But oh wow each tab has to reload, the udtube vids all returned to there start position, my DuckDuck search pages and are now blank! So all told I lost about 10 minutes and some work because someone knows what is best for me and just went ahead and changed the browsers settings. I get why this was done, I mean when ms started pulling stunts like this their users were all super impressed and heaped so much praise on them it was a little embarrassing... Oh what fun!

After a recent automatic update my old problem with Firefox Quantum came back. Every time I open Firefox browser I get multiple 4-6 firefox.exe running in the background processes. When I go into details and try to end process tree it crashes my browser. When I open Firefox it starts all over again. I have gone into about:preferences and
De-select ‘Use recommended performance settings’ Set Content process limit value to ‘1’ from its default value
I have also gone into about:config and switched browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false. Still have the same problem.

This has been a MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME for me since at least the time Quantum was released.
My goal during an update is to be able to continue using the release that is to be replaced until I am satisfied that the new release with its new profile includes as many of the preferences, add-ons, passwords, and other settings that can be carried forward from the previous one as possible (e.g., all that do not cause major conflicts or other serious problems not easily resolved).
The majority of the add-ons I use are related to maintaining the privacy, anonymity, security, and integrity of the browser as well as the data which it handles or manages. Quite a few are redundant so I usually have several installed but disabled at any given time.
From my perspective It makes little sense to enable Firefox to send anything to Mozilla (e.g., allow Firefox to phone home) before I am reasonably sure the new installation of Firefox is running well, with the same or a similar set of security and privacy add-ons in place, especially when I was not made very aware that enabling this would make restoring the add-ons I cherish easier in some way.
Storage is dirt cheap these days. Even on this laptop, I can add another 2TB of fast SSD storage via an external port, then move at least a 1TB of stuff off the 1TB internal SSDs -- in other words, I like the idea of having the option of making a complete backup of the entire existing Firefox Beta release I have been using with all of its pointers to my data on this system, other systems, in the cloud, etc. before letting the installer create the new installation for the upgraded Beta Release.
I gather a system reboot (or at least a browser restart would be in order at this point. After that, it would be wonderful if I was presented the option of migrating all of my old preferences, other settings, and passwords to new profile of the new installation. I doubt many of the add-ons I use are so obscure that they would not get tested by at least a few people doing QA for the upgrade so if any might pose problems, I could be told they could not be migrated with the rest that can be carried forward in a routine manner. (Specific instructions as to how to handle the exceptions would be nice. Some hints about why the particular add-on does not play well with the upgrade would give users a place to start investigating.)
What bugs me the most is that I am dead in the water until the add-ons that I use to block a shit-ton of tracking, fingerprinting, and other kinds of cookies, as well as those used by outright malware disservices found on some sites are in place to make the Web a much safer place for me and the things I use it for.
I completely understand why the upgrades to the first releases of Firefox Quantum required most users to re-install most addons and set most of their preferences, but after a major release upgrade or three to Quantum, things should be back to a lot more automated routine that preserves the functionality the user had in the previous release as much as is realistically feasible when the new release is installed in its own separate place with its own profiles, thus giving the user the fall back option of continuing to use the old release until the new one is tweaked enough to be workable for the user.
Remember: if you do not want to shed users because they get tired of having to restore things from scratch and perhaps losing a lot of important data or functionality along the way, you have to give them as clear and reliable means as possible of getting from where they where (presumably) somewhat satisfied with the old release to as good or better level of satisfaction with the new release, without making them jump through a lot of difficult hoops or perform what seem to be several arcane rituals.
In short, the default process should be to carry forward as many add-ons and user preferences as possible during an upgrade (given the user the option to start from scratch if he likes clean installs or happens to be enough of a masochistic geek to want to go through setting up two dozen add-ons and many specific settings). On occasion, I will put of with the painful process of cleaning the junk out of an old browser or system configuration, but usually I try to do that as part of routine housekeeping and like it when what should be a simple system or browser upgrade does not end up seeming like going through a full tax audit.

i have a lot of tabs & usually the tab restore works fine. in the last months it's had the slow script message, but after continuing has been ok, but sometimes hangs for over half an hour, where i force close firefox. one time after it just wouldnt start up again & after force closing, i clicked stop on one of the slow script messages & once it finally loaded the active page, all the inactive pages tabs were just the site, not the description (eg, youtube.com instead of Top 10 Funny Cat Videos, or facebook.com) hovering over the tab shows the address, but as in the case of youtube, not much help when it just shows the video filename code. once clicked & it becomes active, the tab shows the correct tab description & works as normal. but on restarting & restoring tabs, back to the same thing - only the active one shows correctly, all the rest only the site in the tab, not the description.
how can i fix it, or do i just have to go through all of my tabs?

When I click on ANY PDF link, the save or open in external editor dialog pops up. Even though I have selected "preview in firefox" in options.
Tried: 1. disabling all addons (safe mode) 2. refreshing firefox 3. deleted prefs-1.js 4. looked for user.js-not there. 5. reset all "PDF" settings in config. (Now open in browser wont work - note this did detect the same pdfs correctly)
Any ideas?
Possible culprits in prefs.js? user_pref("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", true); user_pref("pdfjs.migrationVersion", 2); user_pref("pdfjs.previousHandler.alwaysAskBeforeHandling", true); user_pref("pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction", 4); user_pref("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/pdf");

Every time Firefox updates it loses my privacy and security settings and reverts back to standard settings. I have it set to delete cookies and site data when it closes. Because of this issue, I am often surfing for months believing cookies and site data are being deleted when they are not. This is a serious security and privacy flaw. It also happens to my homepage settings. I've now learned that when I see the standard Firefox homepage instead of the one I set, that my security settings are also lost.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I would imagine this is happening to countless other users who are unaware they no longer have the security settings they've set.
Thanks for your help!
