I did write something descriptive, but this page a has a problem which has deleted my message after submitting: so first look at this page's code! Basically on 69.0.1 as 72.0.2 has basic flaw which slows up every new tab to ten seconds. Sick of updates not working. Have now include a 4 method block to prevent unwanted updates. Now I want to stop ALL nag screens. Websites advise about:config settings which don't exist.

Hello. In my bookmarks library I have a lot of folders organized in a tree with multiple branches themselves organized in hierarchic levels. Sometimes I don't find the bookmark I want to use by browsing my tree, probably because I didn't put it in the right location in the tree. I can find it by the "Search bookmarks" function but this function doesn't provide the bookmark location in the tree (and I don't see any other way to locate it). Thus I can't correct the bookmark location error in the tree.
Is there a way to locate a bookmark in library folders tree ?

This was first reported here original post and verified by Mchall and me.
The issue arises with the following steps
find a cell with text (not formula) place the cursor in the edit line (formula bar) backspace to remove all of the text type in new text hit enter
A new line, char(10) is inserted after the text. Confirmed with a find function.
It did this with Firefox but not Chrome. Reported in Google sheets forum title "Why are line breaks being added to cells randomly" Can't see how to add link here.

The gpu usage (more specifically the encoding) has crazy spikes which causes frames to drop (a lot of them).
I'm almost sure this only happens with vp9 and so far I've only seen it happen in 1080p and over (1080p60 etc).
The gpu should be more than able to play these. And in the moments it isn't spiking it's only using like 30 to 40% so it is more than able.
Edit 1: It's really strange because I just watched 4k60 videos and 1080p60 videos in both VP9 and AV and they worked just perfect and then I went to a 1080p24 in VP9 and it skips like hell. And then I went back to the previous video and it gets almost 100% skipped frames at 4k60 when just 5 minutes ago it was playing it fine.
So basically I can't successfully reproduce the problem the same way all the time. Maybe you guys have some tools I can use to do more in-depth testing.

I used Refresh and now realize my add-ons, extensions and theme have disappeared. There doesn't appear to be any way to add them back. I've followed the guidelines t\suggesting to copy from the Old Firefox Data folder into the current local folders but it made absolutely no difference. I can't use Firefox in this state. Is there some way to return to the version I had an hour ago.

distinction would be OK - but bright blue - at least give the option to change the color. It hurts my eyes. I don't really understand anymore why everytime there is an update, more and more customizations are eliviated. Maybe it's finally time to leave Mozilla. Nothing but pain since a long time.
This may not mean much to the mozilla crew - but it is utter annoyance to me and time consuming to "fix" after every update.I look at that screen all day, every day, and - yes, I dare to customize it so it is easier for me to work. Just one example, and I am not alone at this: every time after an update the tab bar is moved up, which does not make sense to people that use it all day long. The 71. update was even worse, not even a space left for it anymore. Resulting again, as always go back to chrome css, trying to get the stuff back one works with all the time.
It just by now is too cumbersome to already know that something will again brake or be eliminated with the next update. I have weathered mozilla since it's inception. But am just tired of always having to adjust the same things, yet needing a different css line again.

I was prompted and downloaded the latest upgrade install file (72.0.2), closed Firefox and ran the upgrade. The resulting web page had a welcome tab and privacy tab as if this was the first time I'm using Firefox. All my tabs, bookmarks, settings, add-ins, authenticating credentials and history have disappeared. No Restore previous session was available. This is major loss that takes away all the tools and knowledge based I had accumulated over many years. It not only devastates my ability to function online but also kills the tasks I had been working on for a couple of weeks. I was able to find an excellent resource at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204253 which lead me to explore the Firefox files in sessionstore-backups folder. There is a file in there called previous.jsonlz4 which was saved about 15 minutes before the crash. I can see its contents using the tool at https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but don't know what to do next. There is no recovery.baklz4 file in this folder. Is there anything I can do to recover my browser as it was before the crash with my tabs, bookmarks, add-ons and my authentication credentials to various sites so I can be functional again?

Long running scripts have been a constance daily occurrence every time I use my desktop computer since seems like forever. This is the latest one: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-base-view.xml:198..... Not sure if they are all calendar scripts because I'm not always given any script info, just a non responding error message sometimes. I asked for help once before and tried what was suggested, as best I could, but I still have the aggravating problem just as often as ever. However, admittedly I'm not all that computer savy and am more of a user than I am a fixer. My browser is up-to-date and I also reloaded a new one recently. Add-ons are also disabled. Any help at all will be appreciated, thanks.
