I am trying to set up my account's IMAP settings. This tutorial <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization> shows that in account settings, when I expand my account, there is a list of options, which should include 'synchronization and storage' (between junk settings and return receipts). But I don't see 'sync and storage'. I do see server settings, copies and folders, comp. and addressing, junk settings, disk space, return receipts, and security.
The options I'm trying to set are "Synchronise all messages locally regardless of age" and "Keep messages for this account on this computer." But I don't see any options like that in any of the menus I can access.
Very slow loading
There are random times the browser is loading too long. Upon checking the ram usage, Firefox got around 800-1000mb.

In the past I never had problems with automatic updates, but since the last 2 versions or so I always get a popup informing me that I don't have enough permissions for the update to proceed.
I run Firefox as a limited user (under Windows 7), and it's installed in the default location (c:\Program Files - it's the 64bit version). The last version I updated manually, but now I'm getting the update prompts again.
I followed the troubleshooting tips on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly, and deleted the "update" folder in my profile path, but that didn't change anything.

Windows 8 FF53.0.3 64-bit Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet
I have tried everything I can find online to get sync to work. I opened and account, installed the latest FF from the PlayStore, signed in on both devices, then tried to sync from both my desktop and my tablet, and it just didn't work. I then installed the Samsung Galaxy sync add-on on my desktop, but couldn't find it on my device. Still -- no sync.
I completely uninstalled FF from my device and tried all that again. No sync.
I'm going crazy! Please help. TIA

I download a file and it shows in the download list and leaves an icon on my desktop. When I double (or single) click on the icon or on the name in the list it downloads again instead of opening. Doesn't open or bring up anything to Save or choose what to open with. I end up with a lot of the same file on the list and a lot of icons on my desktop. I can go to another browser other than Firefox and it will open with no problem. Has worked correctly in the past. Windows 7 Firefox 53.0.2 auto updates
