Two characters now display incorrectly (only at one site)

At homeoint.org, which I am not sure is that well-updated, as of last week, and not on all its pages, the characters 'Æ/æ' and 'Œ/œ' now display as 'Ć/ć' and 'Ś/ś', respectively. Other browsers also exhibit this problem. Checking the encoding it sometimes is set to Central European (Windows); if it is reset to Western they display correctly. Wasn't there a way to make FF remember a given encoding for a particular site?

Kaspersky advises me Firefox has a "Vunerability" KLA 11688. (They are investigating)!
Do I ignore it?
Only can to light after a Kaspersky "Vulnerability Scan"!
Why is Firefox 70.0 is ignoring my HOSTS file while other browsers work properly?

I'm using an extensive HOSTS file to block content, etc., from websites, which is a pretty common use of HOSTS. However, Firefox 70.0 is ignoring the HOSTS file and loads sites that are explicitly named as 0.0.0.0 addresses. Other browsers, such as Chromium, work as expected and return a "not found" message. Is this a bug in Firefox or is there some setting, such as under about:config, that needs to be set properly? Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I just updated to windows 10, before I did I backed up my files on my firefox bookmark account. I went to to the restore thing, I saw all my stuff for a moment but after accepting the restore I can't get it to show. I still have my one Restore March, 31st option with 11 items appearing but nothing happens.
When copying text it doesn't preserve the white spacing, how can I change the setting to include white spacing instead of the default of <1>?
When copying text, it defaults any spacing between characters to 1 space. I need to preserve the spacing due to programming and parsing those spaces.

In about:support, what does "Multiprocess Windows" with a value of "1/1 Enabled by default" mean?
Can this be changed to minimize the number of Firefox processes running to improve performance? As many of half of them appear inactive.

So I have plenty of tabs I want to keep. I'm happy with the way Firefox loads up all my "saved" tabs. As in, when I shut down my PC, they are all there the next time I boot up. However, there is one page that keeps coming back up, even though I have closed it every single time. I can go the whole day, it's not there. Next time I boot up, there it is again.
It's not my homepage, or saved as a bookmark or anything. It was some random link to a Ubisoft free game offer that my friend sent me a couple of weeks ago, and it is infuriating me that I can't work out how to stop it coming back.

How it happened: 1. I installed Anaconda(python3.7) and Visual Studio 2015 (to get the required C++ for TensorFlow) 2. Decided to uninstall Anaconda and Visual Studio 2015 and restarted which is when firefox gave the error vcruntime140_1. dll was not found. 3. I downloaded and installed vc_redist.x64 and restarted 4. Firefox does not give an error anymore but no websites appear (just bank screen). I can see the firefox dropdown tab for options, but clicking options does nothing
What I've tried: 1. Uninstalled firefox using an uninstaller that removes residual files 2. Re-installing firefox 3. Running firefox in safemode and clicking 'restore' as well as trying it in safemode
Chrome is working with no issues, but I prefer firefox.

Despite being told not to, when I close Firefox, it logs me out of LastPass. In Chrome, I can log into LastPass and I will stay logged in all day no matter how many times I open and close Chrome.
The same Firefox update broke Youtube Video and Audio Downloader. It complains that it "can't locate prefs", or they aren't set, or something like that.
Everything was fine before the update.

I am trying to get to my hotmail account, but when I type www.hotmail.com or www.outlook.com it acts like nothing was requested.
If it is a brand new tab, it just stays blank and does nothing.
If there was already an address in the address bar, it reloads the preexisting website.
I have a bookmark for Hotmail as well but clicking that does nothing. It flashes the tab icon and stays on the current website.
Hotmail works fine on IE and fine on the app on my phone - the problem appears to be with Firefox.

Windows 10 Pro, Version 1903, OS Build 18362.418 FF 70.0 (64 bit)
Let me preface this with saying I worked in IT for a long time. I'm stumped on this one.
FF worked fine on 10/22/19. Tried opening FF on 10/23/19 and it kept crashing. I started the task of finding out why.
Opened in Safe Mode and saw the latest FF update. Also discovered a new addon that I did not install: Adaware Secure Search. It wasn't there the last time I reviewed addons (which I do frequently, trying to find the best addon's for my usage) and I hadn't installed anything new recently. Disabled Adaware and FF started opening properly.
I don't want Adaware Secure Search however there is no Remove option in the dropdown. So, I started hunting online to try and remove it.
It is not in the Control Panel. It is not in the registry - I searched in every folder. Ran MalwareBytes and other tools - they don't see Adaware Secure Search anywhere. I followed the instructions that required the use of Troubleshooting and found Adaware is also not in my FF profile (that I can tell - the .xpi files are difficult to figure out since the majority are in number value). Tried refreshing FF and it showed up again. Un/re-installed FF and there it is again!...but this time i had the "joy" of having to redo my tabs, etc. It isn't on my other browsers either, just FF.
How do I get this removed? I don't want it to somehow become enabled in my system.
Firefox doesn't restore my session even though the box is checked in Options
Also, when I click on the Layers icon in the upper right corner, there is no option to restore the previous session.
