This issue has been happening for years, through several upgrades. Finally tired and frustrated enough to write about it now.
I'll close down Firefox, and when I re-open it, it gives me a window and tab scheme from hours (or days, or weeks) ago, not the most recent one that was just shut down. In other words, I'll have shut down certain tabs hours (or days) before, but they reappear when I restart Firefox, and the ones that actually were open, are nowhere to be found. It's like Firefox takes a snapshot whenever it feels like it, but not when I am shutting it down.
What I've had to do to get Firefox to open up from the last section *exactly* how I left it last is go into Windows 7 Process Manager and shut down Firefox from there. Then, when I restart Firefox, it gives me the "Oops, shut down last time didn't go so well..." apology, but at least when I click through, it opens up my desktop exactly how I left it previously.
It seems pretty stupid that I have to do this, so I am hoping someone can enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong.

Websites like Tumblr and PayPal are all jumbled and glitched out
Just recently formated my new SSD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7. Never experienced this before.

FF 60.0.2 loses 'top sites' tabs upon new tab: what exception

Only issue w/FF I have is it always loses my 'top sites' tabs/thumbnails as well as bookmarks. Up to a point. It remembers one tab and older bookmarks. But even w/in a few hours it blanks out anything new.
Even if my one Add-on is disabled (uBlock Origin). Interestingly when it does this it will only show all history folder for July, nothing since. Add-on 'New Tab Override' does not look like what I want to use.
I believe the solution might be under Options>Privacy & Security under Cookies & Site data, where I need to set an exception for firefox/mozilla b/c I have checked 'Accept cookies, keep until close FF'. But I don't know what exception is.
If that sounds correct I'd appreciate anyone's help, or if you think of something else I can try.
Thank you,

This is the second time since FF60 that my favicons have been lost.
I lost them all in the upgrade from 60 to 60.01 - got them all back over the course of a month - now lost again after the upgrade from 61.01 to 61.02.
I went through every solution I could find on this site, all of the Mozillazine prescriptions as well, from running in safe mode to a new profile and everything in between.
I want to keep this from happening everytime there is an upgrade, more importantly, why does this persist?
This time it is somewhat different, in that many of them haven't come back even after visiting the sites multiple times.
Thanks, in advance.

Hi!
I have one user that approx a month ago started to get this message: en webbsida gör din webbläsare långsammare / A web page is slowing down your browser
This happens when user is clicking in one homepage. Most of the time its fine (no messagages) but somethimes it pops up and it hangs firefox.
- All other users do not have this issue - Firefox has been uninstalled and cleaned out twice. Also there is no extra addons or extentions installed. - Windows 7 SP1 with latest patches - PC has been updated also with latest graphics and chipset drivers. - Homepage merinfo.se (se attached photo if it got uploaded fine, red circle indicates when message pops up and hangs firefox)
Any suggestions on how fix this or continue troubleshooting firefox?
Thanks

Every time I switch Firefox tabs by clicking on them above the taskbar in the Windows preview, Firefox window auto-restores (i.e. unmaximizes itself) forcing me to maximize it again to make it usable. Needless to say having yo hit Win + Arrow Up every time I switch tabs this way is bothersome.
What exactly makes Firefox behave this way and is it possible to make switching tabs via preview work normally?
Problem Loading MyHeritage Matches With Firefox

Until a week or two ago, I was able to load my matches at myheritage.com/DNA. You could either go to the DNA drop-down and selected DNA matches, or the "Review DNA matches" in the top left-hand corner. All of a sudden you just get the buffering circle and they never load. MyHeritage can not produce the problem on their end, and then when they asked me to use another browser, everything worked just fine.
What I'm confused about is that I hadn't changed any settings that account for this issue. They thought it was a cache issue, but I have my settings to clear out everything when the browser closes. If I haven't manually changed anything, what is most likely the problem? I'm not running a whole bunch of add-ons or anything.

Background: I wanted to update all occurances of http:// with https:// for a specific domain. I updated places.sqlite moz_places.url column. Everything went well, bookmarks were synced and propagated among devices.
Caveat: Simulataneously I did one more modification and I'm not sure what. I'm sorry for lack of specifics. Probably updated moz_bookmarks.lastModified to ensure syncing?
Problem: Now when I type phrase into site bar a url is suggested, star is marked, but when I wisit the page and close suggestion list star is empty. This happens only for modified urls.
Question: Can you help me with solving this problem? I will appreciate any suggestion where to find the solution.
Thank you very much, Joe

2 problems just started happening after years using: 1) when I attempt to bookmark the box give me 3 folders to pick from or choose like normal but when you select choose you don't get a list of all your folders to scroll and select from. Now it only allows me the those 3 shown or new folder option, and if I don't pick one fast enough it automatically just saves and closes which brings up 2) when a bookmark is saved it doesn't go at the bottom of the list of bookmarks as usual but can be found in "recently bookmarked" where I can then move it. additionally when I make a new folder it does not go into my list of bookmarks either. The folder will show up in "other bookmarks" tab and has to be dragged and placed in my bookmark list. searched around and can't find a way to restore it to normal.
