My tabs sometimes fail on a reload of all tabs - a close tab and reload tab solves problem

I have 32GB memory, and at any given time I have from 10-25 GB free and open. Right now I have 24.5 GB of free memory. AND my problem started at about version 64 and is very random about when a tab goes belly-up. I can close the offending tab and then re-open and solve the issue. For the occasional screw-up, not a big deal. BUT 6 tabs refuse to update after 10 minutes is not acceptable.
AND browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory was already set to false due to my large available memory? How much memory can Firefox access and use for the browser?
Appreciate a response

Dead new tabs trying to open links until the universe reaches heat death. Happens occasionally that new tabs just stop loading or just one is unable to load. Pretty sporadic mysterious software behavior with no obvious cause. I know for a fact that this has been an issue in (many) previous versions as well and not only for me or on my machine.

I just got a replacement for my old laptop and I have installed Firefox, I'm trying to log into my sync account but it says that I have an invalid authorization code whenever I try to use the code I get in my email. I've trying both copy/pasting it and typing it out manually and I've resent the email several times and tried those codes, but no matter what it says that the code is invalid.

First, I lost all my current bookmarks, including bookmarks toolbar. Attempting to restore or import bookmarks results in "Firefox not responding" and/or warning message "Script running - continue/end script", either of which results in "Firefox not responding" and Firefox hangs up. I have tried every suggestion under Firefox Help, including: startup with add-ons disabled and removed, Profile fixes, uninstall/reinstall Firefox, Refresh Firefox, and lots more. Security scans show no viruses or malware. Any ideas as to what I do next. Thanks.
Getting 4-8x slower upload speeds when using firefox over other browsers

I have gigabit internet. I routinely get speeds 4-8x slower when uploading through firefox than through chrome or ms edge. A 710MB test file will take 21 sec to upload on Chrome, and 21 sec to upload on MS Edge, but 1:34 sec on firefox to google drive.
I have done similar tests uploading the same file to youtube, vimeo and running the backblaze bandwidth test, as well as speedof.me. They all show firefox trailing behind by the same margins.
Where I seem to see no difference however, is the Ookla speed test as in that case firefox tests about as high as chrome.
I've tried reinstalling, safe mode and refresh. No extensions are on and I only run windows defender on Windows 10 (up to date updates).
I spent the end of the afternoon calling my ISP thinking they were throttling traffic only to realize it's only firefox. Attaching a screen shot of Backblaze Bandwidth test and speedof.me that I happen to test in two different browsers when I first noticed the discrepancy. I seem to be pegged to the 65Megabit limit in my practical upload tests to youtube, google drive, and vimeo.
Speed tests I don't really care about (other than that they show this difference) but actual file upload speeds when uploading big files.
In troubleshooting process I had also tried reinstalling network card drivers and disabling IPv4 and 6 offloading tasks - this made no difference.
I really want to keep using FF, but don't want to have to switch to a diff browser just to upload files.
Thanks for the 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.

I can't access many important features of websites in firefox, firefox private window, or Chrome. The only thing that loads properly is Chrome incognito. I think this has to do with security settings, but what I see doesn't match any of the articles on the support website. I don't even know what to turn off to load these sites properly. For example, I can't see the videos on tasty.co except for the homepage. Please help me manage my privacy settings.

Every time on my Mac, I have to log in again, re-install my addons and re-do my settings. Why?
This doesn't happen with Firefox on my Windows. I can restart Windows and every time I am still logged into Firefox, plus my addons and settings are still there. Can anyone tell me why this could be happening? Is there a setting I can change to stay logged in on my Mac? I have looked through the settings and can't find anything...It's not a huge deal but it is getting annoying and time consuming to have to set everything up again every time I want to use Firefox on my Mac.

[ Windows 7, x64 - Firefox Quantum 69.0b14 ]
I have been trying to make a permanent modification of prefs.js, specifically changing browser.launcherprocess.enabled to false because it is incredibly annoying not being able to drag bookmarks to a folder (whatever the security implications of such), but I cannot make the change stick because it is overidden by xul.dll whenever I restart my machine.
I had hoped to re-code xul.dll, but this does not appeart to be possible, as it seems that xul.dll is proprietary; so I am wondering if anyone can suggest something (other than using a browser which does force options on you whether you like it or not) or if there is a legacy version of xul.dll (and associated signature file) that can be used instead?

I like to have more than one window open, for different things, depending what i'm doing. however, since I started using Multi-Account Containers, it's been trying auto-combine windows when I first open something. So, maybe I'm doing some research on new gear, and open a window exclusively for Amazon, so I can buy/wish list what I'm finding. I can open a new window, but as soon as I go to Amazon.com, Firefox tries to combine that tab into the existing window. This is happening independent of which containers are being used.
How can I make the auto-combine stop?

Hi all,
I would like to know, how I can prevent the uninstall of addons from the toolbar menu? Even if I decide to remove them from the toolbar with customize, I can still uninstall them after moving them back up to the toolbar with customize.
Is there some add on that password locks this from happening?
My reason for doing this is because I have lots of younger relatives who use my laptop sometimes to play games. I want to make sure they are safe on the internet and not messing around with key settings.
Thanks in advance!
