After a recent Firefox upgrade, as soon as I start typing in the address bar, a blue bar pops up beneath it, and asks me if I want to search or visit a site. I DON"T WANT IT! How do I turn it off? I already have (in Settings / Privacy and Security / Address Bar) everything unchecked. I don't want ANY suggestions, EVER! How do I get rid of this latest idiocy, and return to the behavior of previous versions?

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.

Why Firefox sandbox is not active?

I have tried to change sandbox level in firefox in about:config, but it doesn´t matter what level I set, I still have access to system files from the browser "file://" page, so that means that my files are exposed and sandbox it´s not restricting anything, right?. How could I solve it?. If I execute firefox with firejail the program crashes. I tried with Tor and the sandbox is working, so is not a problem with my OS, could I use the same configuration that Tor uses in firefox with some trick?. I´m in Linux Manjaro 4.19

For example if I go to https://jsfiddle.net/01tpr8sd/, a dialogue will pop up asking me which application I'd like to use to handle this link, while it should have triggered the internal U2F implementation. I have tried starting Firefox in safe mode and resetting values that look relevant in about:config but neither of them helped.
It doesn't happen if I create a fresh new profile though, but I really want to avoid the hassle of backing up all the extension configurations... Please help, thanks a lot.

ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

1. Fresh FF install on freshly installed Xubuntu 19.04 in Vbox. 2. FF started ok. Open different tabs, certain sites at different stages crashes with 'Gah. Your tab just crashed' message: (just a few examples of sites below)
2b. http://www.ctrip.com/ - Started to load, but when it is almost fully completed, it crashed.
2c. mail.yahoo.com - After keying in user name, the next page for password crashes.
3. Steps tried: Had googled left right center but nothing of help. Some articles that seem close, tried but failed: 3a. disable multi-process tabs doesn't help :
browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false (can't find this part though, only the above line)
3b. Disable hardware acceleration - doesn't help.
3c. There is no extension nor theme added, it's a newly installed FF and OS.
4. What works: safe mode. All the sites listed above are able to load in safe mode.
5. There is no crash report? Is it because it is a tab crash rather than a full crash?
Please help ...

I bought a medical insurance policy from United Healthcare this year. When I login and go to the 'Help & Contact us' page, the middle frame (which has what I want, the top and bottom frames being boilerplate) it appears for a fraction of a second, then disappears. This happens even when I start in safe mode. I could use it at the library, which has Windoze computers. I just installed the latest Opera to read a message UHC had sent.
