Why do name-specific bookmarks fail with Facebook on first access, recent change

After I start Firefox 69.0.3, clicking on a bookmark of the form https://facebook.com/firstname.lastname gives an error message "Your request could not be processed." My FB toolbar is displayed but not the remainder of the FB page. I have dozens of bookmarks that all behave the same way. If I click on my name on the FB toolbar, the entire FB page displays. From then on, all my FB bookmarks work until I close FF and restart it. In all cases, the correct FB page address shows. These bookmarks have been working for a very long time and this problem has occurred in the last week or two. The bookmark https://facebook.com (without a specific person's page name) displays a complete page and not just the toolbar even after FF startup.

Recently, I am no longer able to print an attachment from Gmail. The print icon simply brings up a dialog box to choose between opening or saving a pdf (it defaults to pdf even if the attachment is a word doc, image, or spreadsheet). This is a recent development and happens on both of my mac computers. I have started Firefox without any add-ons enabled, but it didn't help.

Just installed latest FIrefox on my fresh Windows 10 Pro 1903. The video doesn't work correctly even though Flash is updated. Video is fine in Edge though. Funny thing is when I try to take a screenshot it doesn't even capture the problem so I had to use my phone to take a picture. All my display drivers are up to date and correct... Thanks for all your help (Pic with the green column is from my phone and the other is the screenshot I tried to capture)

I know I "can" install multiple addons at once, but is it a good practice? In the past when I did so, it seemed like doing so sometimes left me with browser instability,
I guess it could have been a result of one buggy addon , or maybe it was my imagination, but building a profile would be so much easier and less time consuming if you could.
I'm sure some addons could leave behind remnants, but is there a method or an addon itself that would insure a complete addon uninstall?

If I click on the link I want (as per the image) I would instantly be able to copy the link and paste it in an email. I now can't do this. I now have to wait for the page to be fully loaded, which is a pain as I like to work quickly and this takes time when I have slow internet connection. I also reply to email etc without internet connection sometime so this is not ideal Any ideas?

I am having a problem where suddenly Firefox won't remember that I told it to run flash on a website. There was previously the option to remember that decision and now that's gone today for no reason. Removing that option is why I quit using Chrome when the great corporate beast decided for me that I shouldn't be able to conveniently use flash any more because they didn't like it. Is this the same thing happening here or is this a bug?

Firefox updated two weeks ago. Since then the search site was changed to yahoo. I like Google better. I've changed my preferences to google, my homepage and every other thing I could think of to make Google the main search site. If I open a new tab it reverts back to Yahoo. If I click the home button it goes to Google. When I open Firefox the first time it goes to Google. It's only when I open a new tab. Please help as I open new tabs a lot when online.

I've been having trouble today with Gmail showing the proper time in emails sent or received within Firefox.
At first I thought this may be a global problem with my PC. But I have checked WIndows 10's date/time setting, and synced that time to a time server, yet Gmail shows a time four hours later than the Eastern US time zone where I live.
I went further and checked settings in Google Calendar, which controls the time in Gmail; that setting is correct. What surprised me is that when I ran Gmail in Chrome, the time was spot on. Yet in Firefox it continues to show incorrectly, even after clearing history/cache/cookies/accounts. So I'm thinking the problem may be peculiar to Firefox, but I don't know why.
Today I applied the most recent Win10 update, but the problem was the same before/after that. I hope someone might have an idea of how to solve this, for Firefox is my go-to browser for so many good reasons. Thanks for any help you can provide.

My Mac hardware (a MacBook Pro of many years ago) works very well for me with the older Mac OS 10.6.8. Until fairly recently the older Firefox 45.9.0 has also worked very well for me. I just recently started getting a warning message when starting up Facebook: "Update Your Browser. You’re using a web browser that isn’t supported by Facebook. To get a better experience, go to one of these sites and get the latest version of your preferred browser: ..." with links to Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=unsupported-browser-notification&fbclid=IwAR3NdThGKABa4x41ODOKtxHiIxdZAJv_4TfiZDi8EcGGSLul1fB-v7F7o2Y) and Chrome. The Firefox link notes that my system "... doesn't meet the requirements.." (presumably) of what the standard, current Fireox installation provides.
So: -- Does anyone know exactly what Facebook is changing ("soon") and/or how soon that change will happen? -- Is there any version of Firefox more recent than 45.0.0 that will run (perhaps with some tolerable "limits") on Mac OS 10.6.8? --- ... if so, what version should I look for? --- ... and at what website.
-- Thank you.

I downloaded Firefox today. I received 3 messages that javascript is disabled. The first one was from Facebook (see screenshot). The second one was from Javascript when I was trying to figure out how to enable javascript (see screenshot). Yet when I checked about:config, javascript.enabled's value is "true" (see screenshot). The third one was from Firefox when I did a survey on why I decided to use Firefox (no screenshot). What am I doing wrong?

Recently Search Suggestions stopped working, I now have to type in full URLs where previously after a few letters I'd usually be directed to the correct URL, especially with sites I visit often. I checked in Preferences and everything is turned on as it should be. I tried turning Search Suggestions off and then turning them back on but that did not help. I have not tried anything further since I'm a bit concerned I might make things worse.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
