As mentioned, those are active - Restore Previous Session - Warn you when quitting"
Those windows with important tabs (each time) could not be access through "Recently Closed Windows" If I have to restart my mac, I lose all my tabs
This is a major issue for me as this is an important feature that absolutely need to work...

How do I get firefox portable to notify me of updates and download them to a USB flash drive instead of leaving files on other people's computers?

I am using Firefox as portable app, with --no-remote --profile "%profile_path%". I update it regularly, it's convenient for me to see notifications of new updates and install them whenever I see fit. I recently noticed that Firefox creates a folder on every computer C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates, which is not good for the portable version, really. The only way to stop this I found was to completely disable updates via distribution\policies. I don't want to. How do I get firefox to notify me of updates and download them to a USB flash drive (it will be perfect if i could specify folder for this purpose) instead of leaving files on other people's computers?

Which files needs to backup your Profile? Is it %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\ or %AppData%\Local\Mozilla\ ? Is there an add-on that does this? Lastly, can anyone write a script so when you exit Firefox, it automatically backs up your profile? Thank you in advance.

Firefox says at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-update-add-ons, "Check for Updates: Allows you to check for any updates to your add-ons manually. If there is an update available, you have the option to choose to update it now or later." I don't see that option. I can install all updates now or not. How can I install selectively? And (since Firefox does not seem to reveal the versions of the add-ons I'm using), how can I be sure whether a particular add-on I'm using is already up-to-date?

After an auto upgrade, the Firefox 70.0b5 was all grayed out, nothing worked when I started it. So I did a lot of research and re-started my computer. Now the Firefox works, but my previous sessions/tabs still not restored. I went to all history etc but it did not have all my tabs. I went to about:profiles and the local directory seems to be empty but the root directory has files. In the root directory, I looked into sessionstore, previous.js etc folders but there was just a whole lot of letters. I am not a technical person and don't know much about computers. How do I restore the previous session tabs that were on my screen before the upgrade? It's quite urgent and I appreciate your assistance as soon as practicable. Thank you so much!

Windows 10 - Firefox no longer plays videos on twitter, netflix etc

I recently had a windows update on my desktop, since then videos on netflix and twitter (and a few other sites) will no longer play. Whenever visiting twitter I get a bar pop up at the top suggesting I install "Microsoft's Media Feature Pack" and links me through to this article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows , I have the pack installed and it's up to date, I've tired via the Add Features system in Windows and via direct download, both to no avail.
Twitter will not load or play videos and netflix is the same. On Netflix I'm getting:
"Oops, something went wrong... Unexpected Error" and error code F7355 (see this article which indicates browser trouble https://help.netflix.com/en/node/105186).
Here are some other things I've tried, none of which have worked:
- Checking for updates on windows
- Checking for firefox updates
- Checking for updates with the DRM addon Widevine
- Ensuring Widevine is "Always Active"
- Starting firefox in "Safe Mode"
- Using a private browsing tab
I am running:
- Windows 10 Pro N (as said above, I have installed the media pack in several ways)
OS Build: 18362.295.
- Firefox Developer 70.0b3 64 bit.
I've also been seeing similar issues on my fiances machine with standard Firefox but her's says that Widevine has crashed on the top bar rather than suggesting we install Window's Media Feature Pack, although the other symptoms are the same. I don't have her machine to hand to grab versions from there but everything is up to date at time of writing and I've tried the same troubleshooting techniques on that machine as well.
Really stumped on this one and I'm very reluctant to switch back to Chrome simple to play netflix videos, but likewise it's quite important I can play videos around the web. I'll try anything else to fix it at this point, all suggestions welcome!

Hi, Firefox 67 recently automatically downloaded onto my Mac computer that uses High Sierra. Since it downloaded, when I quit Firefox and then reopen it, it no longer restores my previous sessions even though it is checked in my preferences to do so. I have to start all over when I open Firefox and this is the first time this happened since I have been using it for over 15 years. What can I do please? Thanks.

The facebook tab seems to fail to work. After I log onto facebook with a tab, I open another one, but it shows the facebook page logged on with the account that I chose on the 1st tab. If I log off here, the original tab also logs off. The 1st tab has a blue line underneath while the 2nd one is black. Does anyone have any hints on this?

Until recently, I could use the tab key to navigate on websites. Suddenly, the tab key stopped working partially:
- When a website has an input field or a button, using the tab key reaches these fields and afterwards cycles through the UI of Firefox. Links on the website are not accessed by the tab key.
- When a website has no inputs or buttons and only links, the tab key never enters the websites.
I’m using the Firefox Developer Edition 69.0b14 (64-bit) on macOS 10.14.6. Is there something wrong with my installation? Is there something accidentally turned off I need to turn on again?

I'm trying to debug a userscript that seems to be going into an endless loop on just one certain page. The page freezes and never finishes drawing and the script never finishes running.
However, while it's in the loop, the debugger, console, and performance profiler all stop working, as if they're waiting for it to finish. Those are the tools I need to see what it's so busy doing that it never finishes... if they freeze, I have no way of troubleshooting. How do I get the developer tools not to freeze during script execution?

I bank with a major bank (TD) and today, trying to log into my online banking, I get this:
Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to easyweb.td.com because this website requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
easyweb.td.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
I just want to add that I have tried all of the "turn it on and off again" kinds of things - disabling addons, rebooting, etc. Still the same error.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

This seems to be a permanent thing. Firefox will not let me log into my online banking site. I have never had this problem before and I have been logging into my online banking using Firefox for decades. What gives?
PS: Did all of the basic things like disabling addons, rebooting, clearing cache, etc.
