How to switch to a favored profile after downgrading

I'm using and old operating system on my computer, and the latest version of Firefox seems to overtax my graphics card, even with the most mundane websites and functions. So, I had to downgrade versions to the one just previous to today's update to even get here. However, it makes you create a new profile instead of using an existing one. Is there some way to get around this?

When banks upgraded a couple of years ago, older computer processors could not access secure sites. To install updates of Firefox that would access these sites, users were required to buy new computers. That done, everything worked correctly. Now its happening again. I cannot access LFG.com (lincoln financial), Verabank (my bank) or Georgetown Utilities. In each, I get some sort of error message, or at Georgetown, the loading wheel just keeps turning.

I am running Windows 7 using an Emachine EL-1333. I don't plan on upgrading my computer or software.

I can log into these sites using Android apps, Android browser, on my phone. I have no problems using Chrome on my PC. I have been using Firefox since it was Netscape and I would rather not be forced to Chrome. Because I have lost most of my eyesight, I use a 30 inch monitor and using the phone is not practical.

AdFender no longer blocks ads since I installed Firefox version 99.0. My copy of AdFender is not an add on. Three years ado, I installed AdFender as a stand alone program and let AdFender link to my browser when I open my browser. Up to now, updates to Firefox have not affected this arrangement.

I still have Explorer 11 installed and AdFender is still working correctly when I use Explorer as my browser.

Resources (JS, images, etc) only partially load unless bypassing cache after Firefox v100.0.2 update?

When I load a page the first time, everything loads normally. Then if I refresh the page with CTRL-R, resources on the page (such as .js files) very often (seemingly 75% of the time) only partially load and therefore parse errors occur in the console. To reload a page, I have to hit CTRL-SHIFT-R to bypass cache and then the page loads normally again. I can also just launch the page in a private window (this loads properly), close the window and launch it again in another private window (this loads perfectly still) but it's becoming a chore to juggle with private windows only to reload a page I'm working on. I can see the resources loaded under the NETWORK tab in the console but they don't seem to be available to the page renderer or something.

Is this a bug in v100.0.2 or was I only having a bad weekend and all of this is just a random glitch that will go away soon? I've never had a problem like this with any previous Firefox releases (even v100.0) and I've used FF for approximately 15 years. It immediately began to happen after the v100.0.2 update!

What I have done so far:

- Exit out of Firefox and launch it again. - Rebooted the computer. - Site Information > Clear Cookies & Site Data - Waited 2 days for another FF release in case this was a bug and it rapidly got fixed (no update rolled out since). - Help > More Troubleshooting Information > Clear Startup Cache

Am I going crazy or?

Hi all...

How come there is no easy way to get old look of menu in Firefox (Windows)? I have older laptop with 1366×768 monitor resolution. And you know what? Every pixel count.

No one asked for more spacing between lines in menu. No one asked for bigger tabs on top of the screen. We need option to get old Firefox look back.

hello all- When Sync job cycles, what is hierarchy determining which component version (Bookmarks, logins, etc) is applied to profiles on other computers?

Two computers, A and B. Bookmark file on A last revised two days ago. Bookmark file on B last revised 60 days ago. I need all profile components on B to match A. Essentially B is updated to A's version.

How does synch determine which version is the 'Master' used to overwrite the versions on other computers?

I saw in another thread that Synch uses latest modification date to set priority. This would seem to be the most logical criterion. But I want to be sure before cycling Sync.

(Spent 10 minutes searching threads before posting this question. There were some oblique references hinting at prioritization, but not an absolute statement describing prioritization.) thanks!
