Please add an option to the right click menu. I need to be able to open a page link, not to a new tab or window, but to a new instance of Firefox BUT without any extensions loaded. I ask this as many extension block links from running, but on occasion I need to open a link to a "clean" version of Fire fox, in order to see a blocked video or page. At the moment I have to copy the whole link and open a different browser! This happens a lot with trailer video links in IMDB.com

I turned on my laptop today and Firefox would not load. I restarted several times and same results so I clicked on "refresh firefox."

The browser opened after that. However, the tabs are on the top of the browser. I've had Firefox for probably close to twenty years now with no changes to how my browser is laid out.

I am also missing the search box and the "home website" bookmark shaped like a house that was on each side of the browser bar.

How do I fix this without hacking into the code that some suggest??

I cannot believe that Firefox would do such drastic changes without an option to change it back or opt out.

Please help. I've been on this browser configured exactly to my needs for almost two decades now and it is VERY frustrating.

Thank you in advance.

PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR only happens after power outages, and occasionally after internet outages, and can't be resolved unless I have cable company send reset signal to my modem. I have tried every trick and trouble shooting recommendation I have found here and elsewhere on the internet and nothing else works.

Used to be I could clear my cache/cookies etc, do a PC restart, repeat that 2-3 times and the issue would resolve it's self but not in the last 6-12 months. My cable/internet company is baffled by this and can't explain it since it is a Firefox issue but it still takes me 30 mins every time to get them to just send the stupid reset signal because I know what I'm talking about. I wanted to send this to you in case there are others that also experience this and have a fix or are as frustrated as I am. We lose power often in the Midwest with storms.
