I don't want to see it anymore or see the icon. it won't go away! I've looked up how to disable it, but it persists and every time I load a new site, there it is in my face. I already have this handled and don't want the interference from firefox.

Which older version to install? 55 or 52ESR? Help please?!

Hi Folks,
I'm still using an older version of firefox to keep essential add-ons that Quantum no longer had. I'm having problems on a windows 7 computer with the version I have on it, and would like advice on the best way to proceed.
I had copied over my profile from a different computer where I'd been using FF55. I'd had some problems with 55, so I installed 52 on this computer, but using that profile. It's not working very well as I can't get vertical tabs or vertical tabs reloaded to work, it's also crashing fairly often for no apparent reason, etc. Now even the "+" symbol to add a new tab has disappeared from the tab bar, and I don't have a clue why or how to get it back!). For what it's worth, this isn't a malware/virus problem - I'm running McAfee and also periodically malwarebytes etc., and scans aren't finding problems. Computer has been restarted several times and so on, and I'm still having the problems. Could this be because the profile was from a firefox 55 version and it's being used on a FF52 version? Or would that not cause this sort of problem?
I don't want to go to 56 because I gather it won't be able to access my older saved sessions (I use Session Manager and those are the sessions I'm concerned about - so if this is NOT a problem, please let me know). I'm concerned about this because wiki says: "...Another change was the introduction of the mozlz4 format, a proprietary variant of the lz4 compression format (.mozlz4 and .jsonlz4 file extensions instead of .json.lz4 as per unix/linux standard). Session data is stored in the lz4 format instead of plain text. Firefox 56 can not recognize the legacy plain text session files, only the lz4-encoded ones...."
So I'm wondering if I should go to 55 on this computer, or 52ESR? I gather the ESR would have better security - but want to know if there's a difference in add-on compatibility or other features since 52ESR is, I gather, based on older code than 55?
If someone could talk me thru the pros and cons of using 55 versus 52ESR I'd sure appreciate it!!!
Also, I would be VERY grateful if folks could point me towards: 1. a reasonably safe site where we can search and install legacy add-ons 2. any webpage which has a good information showing which legacy add-ons now have reasonable replacements in the current FF version.

Hello, Using windows 10. Firefox wont open but get a box telling me old Firefox is running needs to be closed. Have shut it down but still nothing happens. I think I may have backed up my bookmarks on my PC but not sure where they are? Also tied entering and this dispalys C:\Users\Chris>AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ 'AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Help please to restore Firefox and hopefully not loose my bookmarks?
Thank you

Non riesco più ad accedere a FIREFOX, che ha funzionato per molto tempo. Ho già contattato l'assistenza MICROSOFT che ha pulito il sistema ma non ha risolto il problema. Firefox assistenza dice che ci potrebbe essere interazione con programmi antivirus,antispyware,ecc.. Provare a configurare il firewall utilizzato per capire se il problema si risolve. Il problema è il seguente: Firefox non si avvia perché dice: FIREFOX è già avviato, ma non risponde. Il processo esistente di Firefox deve essere chiuso per aprire una nuova finestra. CHIUDI FIREFOX---- HO PROVATO A DISINSTALLARE FIREFOX ed a eliminare da GESTIONE ATTIVITA' il file FIREFOX.EXE -- HO REINSTALLATO FIREFOX - SI E' RIAPERTO MA POCO DOPO E' TORNATO LO STESSO PROBLEMA. HO RIFATTO LA DISINSTALLAZIONE E LA REINSTALLAZIONE ED IL PROBLEMA E' RIMASTO TALE. Avete qualche suggerimento ? Grazie

I searched for this answer in multiple ways. A reply from late 2018 indicated that there was a "delete all" at one time. But reading the current mozilla.org entry on managing passwords (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-edit-logins), there is no mention of deleting multiple logins/passwords, only how to delete them one at a time. I tried clearing all my Firefox data, figuring that should do it, but it did not; the logins and passwords are still there. I turned off the "save passwords" option long ago, but there are still over 50 old passwords there. Do I have to really go in and delete them one by one?

I'm having a problem in Firefox where many times, there are a number of graphical artifacts. The attached screenshots should help make better sense of my issue.
I disabled Hardware Acceleration (I thought that's what was causing it) but it turns out it's clearly something else. I would very much appreciate help with this issue, as more often than not, Firefox is always crashing while or after said graphical artifacts occur.

I am unable to open links in gmail or outlook. Clicking on the link opens a tab in FireFox with an error message that says "This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to access cookies". I had this working but updated Firefox and it no longer works. It does work if I open my gmail account in Chrome, there the link opens to a new Chrome tab and works. Have tried refresh, deleting extensions, reinstalling. Thanks so much in advance for a response.

I want to bookmark 10 selected history pages. I selected them, and right-click gives me the context menu as shown on the attached screen shot. But selecting "Bookmark Pages" does not work. Only individual pages selected this way will bookmark. And the option there "Open all in tabs" works fine, and I can then bookmark the 10 open tabs. But that wastes my time and bandwidth, and supposing I want to bookmark hundreds of history pages? Opening them all in tabs would break the machine.

There are many sites I visit regularly and would like a 2 line bookmark toolbar, (entirely separate from regular bookmarks that are stored in a different area and in their own folders). The bookmark toolbar is very convenient, but would be far better if it could be increased to 2 or even 3 rows, to avoid the hassle of clicking through folders to find my most commonly visited sites.

Hi, I've been using Firefox for some time and a wile ago I tweeked some setings to make it more secure/private and since then, almost every time I enter to gmal or youtube or any other Google plage I have to login again. This wouldnt be a big problem If it wasn't because I use two factor autentification and it's a bit conversome.
I have tried to reset the settings of firefox and even to uninstall it, but It still gives me this problem.
Do you have any solution, is there any configuration item that I should change?
Thank you very much!

After the release and subsequent auto update of firefox 70.1 I had NO internet access. Anytime I attempted to open the browser I got an error page saying Can Not Connect. Finally after using a restore point dated Oct.25 I was able to acess the net and download sites again but I can no longer stream video from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Hulu and other sites are not affected. Netflix said refreshing firefox would work. It DID NOT. Amazon says the latest version of firefox is needed to restore functionality. That version kills my ability to access the web. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on an older HP with AdBlocker Plus and HTTPS Everywhere. Any ideas ?
