I type d or t or s or bla and I want it to open my default search engine with this Unfortnutaly FF sends me to http://d always (because I went there the first time and it remembered)
I really want to forget this autocompletion result.
How can I make FF forget stored autocompletions?

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 would like to disable the forced automatic update restarts and the only solution I can find is via policy disabling all updates.
This isn't what I want, because I do want to be updating Firefox regularly, but I do not want it to interrupt things I am in the middle of working on to do it by *refusing to load pages* until I restart it.
This is a nightmare when working on things that require multiple tabs, or worse when I'm submitting something via a form as this restart page and forced restart destroys what I was doing.
I would be happy for it to automatically install the update on next restart. I will tolerate nag screens to remind me to restart the browser as soon as is practical. I *cannot* tolerate it absolutely ruining what I was doing by suddenly showing a demand to restart instead of the page I just submitted, or having something half written I need to check something for in another tab to find that I cannot do that and so cannot finish what I was doing before restarting.
This update process is hostile, and disabling updates entirely is not at all what I want to do, I just want to control where my workflow is interrupted and avoid LOSS of work. But I can only seem to find the extreme options of no updates at all, or automatic updates that will randomly ruin what I am doing.
If this is the new reality for Firefox I'll have to find something else to use, but having spent several hours trying to find a fix for this - and this not being the first time I looked as this has impacted me several times previously - even if there is a workaround it's incredibly poor form to not allow this option in a simple manner or to have such information easy to find.

I am on FF 70.0.1 (64-bit) and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
Whenever i right click and scroll through the context menu, the pointer always seems to be lagging or leading the highlighted item, depending on whether i am moving up on down.
And sometimes, the click action seems to be selecting the wrong item, usually one index above or below the actual item i clicked.
This same behaviour is repeatable while scrolling using the keyboard up/down keys as well. Unlike the mouse, this keyboard enter key always selects the wrong item, one index below or above the actual highlighted item depending on whether i am moving up or down.
The only extension enabled right now is "Firefox Multi-Account Containers"
Screenshots attached.

After update 70 for Windows, some of my webpages are breaking randomly, causing me to close and open them in new tabs. The tab where the incident occurs becomes unusable even for different websites. This most frequently happens on Google related websites (Gmail and Sheets) but overall affects all my tabs. This never happened before the version 70.0 update. I don't believe they tax my system and crash that way, so I'm unsure what the cause is.

Version: firefox-70.0-1.fc30.x86_64 [Fedora 30. GNOME. Wayland]
I tried running with --safe-mode [all extensions disabled], but it kept happening. Does the following match any known problem?
I don't have any crash information recorded by firefox. So I've tried running it in a terminal instead and capturing the console output.
- No firefox crash recordings
The crash report dialogue does *not* appear when Firefox crashes.
Firefox support articles also suggested I look in "about:crashes". However when I visit "about:crashes", Firefox just says "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right. Please check that the URL is correct and try again."
In "~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/submitted/", there are several files but they are all older than the current month (November 2019).

Why are my IcedTea and Flash plugins INVALID in pluginreg.dat?

Oracle Linux 7, FF 68.2 ESR, recent update to Flash 32.0.0.293, I check in Addons that newest Flash is there (had issues a few weeks ago where I had to remove pluginreg.dat as 32.0.0.270 wouldn't get noticed and FF thought it was 32.0.0.255 still, complaining I had an out-of-date version), and surprise - both Flash and IcedTea aren't there.
So I confidently close FF, remove pluginreg.dat, fire FF up again - but no dice.
Check contents of pluginreg.dat, and here they are:
Generated File. Do not edit. [HEADER] Version:0.19t:$ Arch:x86_64-gcc3:$ [PLUGINS] [INVALID] /usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so:$ 1564598268000:$ /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so:$ 1572453153000:$
Funny, so I try downgrading Flash via YUM, which can't be done as Adobe promptly removes old versions from its repos. OK, so I just YUM erase Flash, only to achieve an INVALID IcedTea plugin. What?
Did I perhaps use FF 68.2 for 2 weeks without noticing the issue? Well if that's the case a downgrade to 68.1 will fix things, right? So I re-add via YUM the latest Flash plugin, but alas 68.1 still thinks that and IcedTea are INVALID.
Mumble. Well let me get the big hammer and further downgrade to FF 60.9, remove pluginreg.dat, fire FF up again and... oh. Still INVALID. Now I'm 100% sure there's something weird - but what is it?
Long story short, even creating an entirely new UNIX user and firing up FF which obviously created a new profile from scratch, it gets the same pluginreg.dat right off the bat with Flash and IcedTea plugins marked as INVALID.
So, what are the further debugging steps here as I guess I'm out of options?

http://Flashgames/somegame.swf works
file:///www/Flashgames/somegame.swf turns Firefox into a tab forking bomb.
I have deleted the handlers.json file in the profle, but that only causes Firefox to ask with what EXTERNAL application this file should be opened (it does not play the file within the browser).
There is no application associated with *.swf files on the OS level.

Hi everyone.
I have stumbled upon a weird issue and can't seem to solve it - some of the pages I visit seem to be blurry and lack sharpness in general. You can see it all on screenshots attached. This happens in different places, using gmail just as an example. I am currently typing this in a tab next to that gmail one, text and images here are in perfectly good shape.
What I have already done:
- forced my NVidia GPU to work with Firefox since I intially suspected that it might be an integrated Intel GPU that is causing this (I might've done something wrong so if you suspect this might be it - please elaborate on how I could address this);
- double-checked font settings, zoom - all seems to be fine;
- reset ClearText settings;
- checked if this presists on an external monitor - it does.
I am not claiming this just started happening after the last update: I haven't used Firefox for some good time and am now considering switching back. Version is included on screenshots just for reference. I am currently on 70.0 (64-bit).
Any input would be immensly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: difference is clear if you open screenshots in separate tabs and switch between them, kinda hard to see it when embedded here =)

I hate it when a Bookmark disappears that is an important one and takes a lot of time to try to find it. I don't remember IE11 having this problem. This shouldn't recur. How can I quickly find a Bookmark folder titled "Glyphosate" that is a subfolder of a Bookmark folder titled, "Herbicides, Surfactants, Etc" in the parent folder titled "From Internet Explorer"? If I do a search for the word Glyphosate, it appears to find the individual bookmarks but if I hover over it or right click on it, no path is shown. So I have no idea where the Glyphosate folder is in my Bookmarks.
Thanks
