Firefox on CentOS 7 thinks Firefox on CentOS 6 is old or not compatible.

I have a dual-boot workstation with CentOS 6 and CentOS 7. Both installations have the same version of Firefox, v68.2.0esr and both systems are fully updated. When I boot CentOS 7 after running CentOS 6, Firefox insists on making a new profile because it thinks it can't use the old profile. That requires me to sync, customise, set preferences, et cetera. That's a PITA.

I have reset my search engine multiple times back to Google, only to have Firefox change it to Yahoo. Very frustrating! I am almost ready to go back to using Chrome. I have deleted the "default Yahoo search engine" multiple times, only to have it reappear.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

I had some trouble with FF Sync yesterday and wound up restoring bookmark backups on all my four PCs (3xWin10, 1xWin7) before I re-synced. It is a good system as designed - but I found that one of my W10 PCs had only two backups, and all of them had huge gaps in the saved-bookmark dates. A few sequential, then a gap of weeks or months and another set - but hardly any more than two days in a row. And old backups are pretty useless to me. This is odd because have been I using FF as my main browser for a while now - I would expect consistent backing up every day. So why are the backups so unreliable? Is there anything I can do to make sure FF backs up every day (like it is supposed to!) ? My FF installs are kept up to date. It is a worry, any suggestions/explanations most welcome!

For some reason so certain websites, Firefox is not displaying all of the information in the drop down menu. When I scrolling down in a menu, it is not showing me the last options with that drop down menu. I thought the problem was with one site but it happen again on a different site. (Enclosing examples - Last displayed school should be Ziegler and I can't see time for 10:00 or 11:00) I have tried unchecking and re-checking "Use autoscrolling, use smooth scrollling, Use recommended performance settings, use hardware accelerations when available" I have clear cache and data. I have tried Firefox in safe mode. Nothing is resolving this issue. These same sites work on Chrome with no problem. Any other suggestions on how to correct this issue as I would rather user Firefox over Chrome.

This happens with every update of firefox for the last several updates and makes firefox unusable. The text in every tab overlaps and cannot be read. The more tabs the worse it gets. I have seen this problem in forums since 2010. Have tried everything in options/fonts. Current firefox searches shows over 1200 responses and the result does not change much no matter how I word the search

Firefox 70.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 will correctly open and play SWF files (e.g. Flash games) via HTTP(S) but when you open the same file from the local file system it keeps opening new tabs until you kill the program.
http://Flashgames/somegame.swf works
file:///www/Flashgames/somegame.swf turns Firefox into a tab forking bomb.
I have deleted the handlers.json file in the profle, but that only causes Firefox to ask with what EXTERNAL application this file should be opened (it does not play the file within the browser).
There is no application associated with *.swf files on the OS level.

Up until this morning, when I clicked on the "Show All Downloads" it opened in a new tab which is hugely convenient for me, However, this morning when I clicked on it, it opened a new "Library" window instead which is a huge pain in the ass for me. How can I get it back to the functionality it has been doing for over a year for me now?
thanks

Re Windows 10 update. Error message indicating that an old version of Firefox needs to be updated before Win 10 update. On 3 occasions in the last 2 months I have a. updated Firefox - Win 10 still blocked, then b. erased all Firefox application and files - Win 10 still refusing update! No helpful advice found on Windows site : all messages insist on removing or updating Firefox and I have done both without success. What should I do now ?

Say: 1- you have 100 workstations, every workstation have firefox 70.0.1; 2 - for some reason a workstation X upgrade 70.0.1 to 70.0.2. It happened unfortunately; 3 - a user A that open its profile on X workstation upgrade his profile to 70.0.2; 4 - the day after he use a different workstation Y and his profile won't work, firefox will start with a default-release profile; 5 - IT manager (me) have to move (!) because you need to upgrade workstaton Y firefox to let the user A works, but this time it will upgrade to 70.0.3; 6 - return to 2 - because users move - (and "for some reason ... upgrade" become "you need to upgrade" of point 5) and everything become s**t!
I need to avoid the profile upgrading at least on minor release to control the system even if I will leave firefox to other browser for my organisation.
Please help!
p.s.: sorry for my english p.s.2: let me say that one the best things of firefox is that profiles worked every where on every system every time. It is really annoying.

Things were perfect until last windows update. To be fair, Nvida also updated drivers at same time. However, Firefox on windows won’t start. On clicking either the shortcut or the exe file, nothing seems to happen, then after about two minutes, CCleaner displays a “browser cleaned” message. There is collateral damage. Kaspersky no longer works and the machine is slow—painfully slow. I do have Edge and Chrome installed as well, and both work. However, Firefox is my preferred browser.

I tried to download some item I bought off Humbundle, I could only download 1 file, and nothing else. The page has a Bulk downloader, in this case, select the PDF box and download all the files that are PDF on the page, lets say 20 without counting.
1 will download, I click the individual links and nothing. Refreshing the page, I can download 1, and no more.
All the files were torrent links, though I doubt it matters Personally I don't see how a third party download tool would help, even the linked responses and original question were not related.
Using firefox 70 on Linux Mint
On a unrelated note, I do hope that this is not a forum where you must logon and check it daily, after creating this, I found an older submission I had forgotten about with several responses, I wish I had gotten an email letting me know I had a response.
This is the response I got from Humblebundle, this is included because I know the first response will be it is not firefox it must be the site.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble.
I believe this is an issue of your browser blocking multiple download from the same site. I have attempted the bulk downloader myself on Chrome and had success with the bundle you mentioned, so that is the only factor I believe may be holding you back. There is an article regarding this issue for the Firefox browser here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1163075
Installing that add-on may help you correctly download the products in question.
If you continue having trouble, let me know and I can discuss this issue with my team further. We may not be able to provide an immediate solution, but we can hopefully address this issue in future updates to this feature.
Kind regards,
-Finn Humble Bundle http://support.humblebundle.com/
