Firefox Quantum 68.4.2esr (64-bit) control-delete deletes span after whitespace

The following HTML is inside a text area div: <wbr>span1a span2 bspan3<wbr> (The WBR elements shouldn't make a difference, but I need them in my test setup.)
Placing the cursor before the "a " and pressing control-delete causes not only the "a " to be deleted, but also span2 and the following space character. Similarly, placing it before "b" and pressing control-delete also deletes span3.
It is as if control-delete treated spans as whitespace, rather than as non-whitespace.

I bought a used computer, Firefox is warning me not to sync because this will merge my data with the previous owner's. How to fix?
I already ran a full factory reset, not sure how I can go any deeper to clean out existing info.

Ever notice that the sites that insist on the user disabling Ad Blocker to continue browsing are the ones that run 20 flash ads at the same time? Not to mention the half GB of content it seems that they download on every click?
Here's just one egregious example: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7919337/Last-flight-Wuhan-Everyone-wearing-masks.html
When I disabled my Ad Blocker, CPU usage went to 98% and the page froze my browser.
How do you guys deal with sites like these? Do they realize that this "heavy-handed" approach is counterproductive?

when trying to save image files ( i do that a lot ) and I click download this file save location changes from the where the previous file was downloaded. This is not site specific and really a bothersome nuisance. I asked about this before and a suggestion by someone fixed it but I can't find that post.

The short menu that drops down on the top right of the browser when you want to save a bookmark is too small (in case somebody has many bookmarks) and the scrolling is too rough (passing 2-3 categories per scroll which is too much). Wish it can be like this :-)
Sync is creating folders/bms that existed in the past or never existed

FF 72.0.1 for Windows. See if I can explain this problem. I migrated Chrome bookmarks to a new profile on my desktop. I cleaned up the migration bookmarks and saved to an html file for a backup. I also created a new profile on my laptop that I did attempt to sync with the desktop which was when I first noticed issues with the synced bookmarks/folders.
RIght now I have sync turned off on both machines and am concentrating only on the desktop. I deleted all the bookmarkbackups directory files and deleted places.sqlite and imported the saved html file to get the desktop where I want it. However, when I turn sync on (with sync turned off on the laptop) it adds folders and bookmarks, some of which were NOT there in the Chrome migration and some duplicates that I had created on the laptop. Deleting the WEAVE directory makes no difference. I don't know where this information is coming from, whether cache or ff backups, but I want to have a clean set of bookmarks, that I can sync to a clean laptop.
Can someone please tell me where this previously synced (some not) information is coming from so I can delete and start from scratch.

1) Where do I find the "Firefox smart search field" that starts proposing pages when I have keyed in just the couple of first letters of the page I am looking for ?
2) I just wish to "lock" my Firefox page size to 120% (not permanently forever, of course) because at present I have to change it in the beginning of every web-session by opening the Firefox menu at right upper hand corner and choosing 120% in the "page size" option.

I used to be able to type the first few letters of an address, either from my bookmarks, such as acrostics.org, or another URL, such as cnn,com, and the address would appear in the address bar. Now I have to drop down the menu and select the correct one. How can I go back to the way Firefox used to work?
Thanks.

Firefox 72 causes Add-Ons to stop running while still enabled

Firefox 72.0.1 and 72.0.2 have the same issue, so the latest release did not solve it. My add-ons all stop working, or seem to time out somehow, while still showing as enabled. Removing and then "Undo Remove" of the add-ons restarts this new timeout clock/fixes the problem, but it's extremely frustrating and ineffective.
- This did not happen prior to 72.0.1.
- The add-ons do retain my settings even while timed out/stopped/somehow broken, so they are not actually disabled during these outages.
- This affects all add-ons, so it is not a problem with any one specific add-on.

hey guys,
I have another problem with this browser. here is a great example of the problem => go here to my website: http://www.adamevanovich.com (see attached image)
there you can see a pop up dialog that asks for a password. if I enter the right one the first time, it accepts it and saves it in the browser saved passwords. however, if I go into my hosting company's dashboard, change that password, then go back to that page and enter the new password, I get a pop up asking me if I want to update??? I press "yes" or "update password", but alas, the next time i go that freakin page and have to enter a password, the old login credentials are automatically populated!! can you guys help with this too?
