How can I stop Firefox from nagging me to create new profiles *without* disabling profiles completely?

For a few weeks now, Firefox desktop (on both Linux & Windows) prompts me on every start to create a new profile. I don't want to create a new profile, nor do I want … (read more)

For a few weeks now, Firefox desktop (on both Linux & Windows) prompts me on every start to create a new profile. I don't want to create a new profile, nor do I want to disable profiles completely, but most of all, I don't want to be repeatedly prompted. Another peeve is the repeated advertising of the new "summary" feature. New features should be offered *once* with an option to *permanently* dismiss the reminders! Failing this, there should be an option to disable the reminder in settings, without having to use about:config!

This tab group notification seems to be bugged or something. It just keeps reminding me over and over and over and over.

Any help would be appreciated.

How to get rid of this silly 'finish set up' box that pops up all the time? Everything is already green and ticked? and also when i right click on mouse the menu opens but then it jumps up rather than staying with the mouse pointer. I used Google previously and it pisses me slowly off i have this kind of annoying issues with Firefox.

Two days ago, I made my first post to these forums. Now I'm being spammed with "Congrats on your first forum reply!" emails from this website. I am getting a new one every hour and a half or so. There is no obvious thing to do in the email to stop this. How do I stop support.mozilla.org from spamming me?

Firefox for Mac, stop Apple's 2fa from popping up repeatedly in useless locations

[I am not sure this question is for Settings. None of the categories offered really seemed to fit this issue very well. Suggestions for re-posting are welcome.] On Firefox for Mac, Apple now has a pop up bubble to display the requested six digit 2FA number, first in the upper right corner, then, annoyingly, repeating often in multiple additional useless places on the screen, whether or not the code has already been used. The Apple community says there is no way to block this misbehavior through Apple, except disabling all 2FA, which is a bad idea. Is it possible to block the multiple appearances of 2fa code advisory bubble all over the place through Firefox controls? This problem reportedly does not appear on the native Mac Safari, nor reportedly on Chrome. I got to admit, I don't sign into Firefox, and not being forced to do so is a Firefox attraction for me. ]

In a Firefox window, the left-most pane shows Homepage on top followed by a list of recent open websites. In my current window for example, below the home page heading I have Log in/Sign up/Mozilla Support then Get Support| Mozilla Support followed by +New Tab. There is nothing special about the particular configuration. I mention the exact configuration for orientation. My problem, for the example I am describing, is the existence of a popup that is in a separate bubble window that states Get Support|Mozilla Support on the first line and support.mozilla.org in the second. Popups like this one always appear. They are driving me crazy because they persist when some new window is moved over the Firefox window. That is, they always come to the front of a stack of windows. They often cover some clickable list in another application. I'm working with the latest MAC OS on a Macbook Pro. I have tried the usual advice to turn off popups in the FireFox settings. This toggle has no effect on these popup windows. Is there a way to turn them off!
