When saving a Bookmark, and security is not an issue, it's useful to have User Name and PW in the properties tab. If the PW has CAPS within it and is saved, when reviewed, the CAPS have been all changed to lower-case. Makes it difficult to remember which character(s) were Capitalized when entering a PW. This is a problem with sites that require mixed characters.

I don't like MSExplorer or Bing. I've set Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (64bit) as my default browser with search results from Google.
When I type a search in the 'Type here to search' window, MS Explorer opens with a Bing search result.
How do I get the thing to stop opening Explorer and simply open FF?
And again, Firefox is absolutely set as my default (menu/options/'smiley' Firefox is currently your default browser)

For years I've used a userchrome script to show multiple rows of bookmarks, but it no longer works in Firefox 66!
Does anyone know what's gone wrong, or a way this can be fixed?
I cannot function without multi-row bookmarks! I have over 25,000 bookmarks, all neatly organized into folders across five rows of bookmarks. there's no way I could cram all those categories into one single, solitary row.
It's a shame that Firefox has never seriously supported the bookmark bar. It's always been buggy, ugly, cumbersome to use, and never felt very "solid". The menu also has a tendency to disappear, making it hard to organize and drag bookmarks and folders around.

The previous update of Firefox was working perfectly. New update has lost the bookmarks star I had placed in the top toolbar. In Settings > Customize page I am unable to add the star to the toolbar. I dragged the star to the top area, then the star disappeared... Poof! Bookmarks STAR button has been in my toolbar until yesterday, gone today.
All I really need is a [Show all bookmarks] button in the top menu. Should it not be there permanently?
In the Library button there is no option to open ALL BOOKMARKS. There is only Bookmarks > Bookmark this page, or Bookmarking Tools, or Search Bookmarks.
In Bookmarking Tools there is an option to VIEW BOOKMARKS SIDEBAR, but that takes up screen space, which is already small enough.

I'm on Linux, and updated to Firefox 66 yesterday. I was looking forward to the new feature that disallows websites auto-playing videos. But I found that it's not the case. For example, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-19/how-an-extra-man-in-cockpit-saved-a-737-max-that-later-crashed still starts playing the video automatically. This is just one of the many I've tried so far.
Am I missing any settings? There was none I could find having done a quick search on the preference page.

Restore previous session though unchecked always tries to restore previous session on startup. It's annoying! That's it in a nutshell. Though the box is unchecked by default, the application still attempts to do a restore which delays my startup of Firefox. How do I get around this? Is there a patch?

On desktop, whenever I left-click on a link to a Facebook or Instagram page, the page opens in the same tab, but the top-left back button is grey (unavailable) as if I had opened a new tab. I noticed this problem maybe two weeks ago, it only happens in Firefox, and only with links to Facebook or Instagram.

Sorry folks. This has only recently happened, and I am still not 100% sure what the problem is. (Skip to bottom part for recent event)
Ubuntu 18.04 as far as I know up to date with updates. 2019 04 24.
Originally I would load FF and "restore previous session".
The sessions would load - granted slowly, but they would load.
Beyond that, nothing has changed, other than now when I load FF, it just sits there.
It won't start loading pages.
How I make it load pages is click a couple of other tabs and try to invoke them to load.
After a while it finally starts loading.
Using another browser, though not restoring a previous session, the "blank page" loads and I can go to pages and they load there and then.
I really don't want to lose all the tabs.
The plugins have been installed before the problem happened.
Last thing: (Probably nothing, but I want to declare it here now as this is about the time this problem started happening.) I am about to connect to a new type of service being rolled out here. NBN. That means new modem and connection style.
I bought a new modem. Linksys 1900 ACS.
My network is STATIC IP - mostly.
I wanted to ste up the new modem before the "cut over" so it can go smoother. As I didn't know the IP address, I changed/edited the OS network type. From Fixed IP to DHCP.
Rebooted and loaded another browser (only to keep the old session in FF) and set up the modem. All done. Reset the IP settings and all back to normal.
Loaded FF as per normal. The problem then manifested itself.
But as said: Other browsers load and I can surf there and then. Load FF and it just "stalls" loading any page. I can't open a new tab, or much else for a while.
