Playing 1080p 60 fps video on YouTube is choppy after the update

I am a longtime Firefox user, have been using Firefox as my primary browser for more than 7 years. My problem is that after updating to version 68 and later, 1080p 60 fps videos in YouTube stopped playing properly. The audio works fine, but there are a lot of dropped frames. In fact almost all frames are dropped. I used to have Firefox 62.0.2, and then directly updated to version 68. Currently I run version 69. Please note that this problem does not occur with Firefox version 62.0.2 (I reinstalled it and checked the same). I noticed this problem only with 68 and later. Also, this problem does not occur in Chrome, or any other browser for that matter. Moreover, this problem is only with 1080p 60 fps, because 720p 60 fps or even 1080p 30 fps work just fine. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps mentioned in Mozilla Support articles, including clearing cache, disabling extensions, using safe mode, refreshing Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, using a new profile, and updating Firefox. None of the steps have worked. I ardently request someone from the Mozilla community to help me. This is the first major bug I've faced individually. If this is not fixed, I have to go back to an older version of Firefox till an update probably fixes this.
WTF. How do I install QuickTime on Firefox.
So disappointed in Firefox, passwords from Chrome were not carried over. Now Quick time applications aren't working.

When saving a Bookmark, and security is not an issue, it's useful to have User Name and PW in the properties tab. If the PW has CAPS within it and is saved, when reviewed, the CAPS have been all changed to lower-case. Makes it difficult to remember which character(s) were Capitalized when entering a PW. This is a problem with sites that require mixed characters.
Composing gmail - unwanted line breaks in FF 69.0

I had posted another question here about 69.0 being the genesis of bad line breaking, and now a new thing I discovered.
In Firefox - and only firefox - if I'm composing a new message, pressing enter generates a single line break as I'd like and expect - new paragraphs require two "enter" presses.
EXCEPT, since 69.0, if I include a bulleted or numbered list in the message, when I end the bullets or numbering, the text below it inserts a forced double space with every "enter" press. That is, single-spacing before the bullet/number list; double-spacing after it.
Here is a "selection source" of a short message I composed:
======= <div id=":ol" class="Am Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" hidefocus="true" aria-label="Message Body" g_editable="true" role="textbox" aria-multiline="true" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 376px;" tabindex="1" contenteditable="true"> Before the bulleted list line 1<br>
Before the bulleted list line 2<br>
Before the bulleted list line 3<br><div><ul><li>Bullet list line 1<br></li><li>Bullet list line 2</li><li>Bullet list line 3</li></ul><p>After the bulleted list line 1</p><p>After the bulleted list line 2</p><p> After the bulleted list line 3
</p><br></div></div> =======
If you notice, the "enter" generated a <br> before the list, then a <p> after it. Highlighting the lines after the bullets and removing the formatting (the slashed-out T in gmail compose) changes their selection source to:
======= After the bulleted list line 1<br><br>After the bulleted list line 2<br><br>After the bulleted list line 3 =======
As you see, the <p> is replaced with a <br> and the unwanted blank lines can be edited out.
This was fine until this month when 69 took over.
I'd like to see it put back to how it was in 68.

Firefox remembers logons even when this option is not selected.
When I sign on to some sites, if I left click, my logon info appears. I have everything in privacy and security de selected. I do not have this issue in IE.

I went to Extensions and Themes and tried to restore the previous color - tabs were gray, well aligned and visible squares. Now they are transparent and bland in the background color which is not what it was before. I have disability and working from home makes my work more difficult if i don't align distinctly the tabs in the color gray as before. It takes me more time to recognize them and click. Help please. I attach what i want to be, the gray and what is now one blue line. Looking forward Thank you Antoinette

In the past few days, Firefox (version 69 on Windows 10) stopped displaying "Post" images on Wordpress websites, and also stopped displaying the page-background on all websites (not just Wordpress sites). I have done everything that the "display"-related help pages say to do, including disabling all add-ons and "refreshing" Firefox. Nothing helps. Attached are two screenshots of the same website, one from Firefox and one from Google Chrome. The site is supposed to look the way it does in Chrome. Since Chrome is displaying things properly, we are switching to Chrome as our default browser... but I'm very curious what has happened to/in Firefox.
How Do Gmail and YouTube know who I am when I am logged out?

How does the login for the YouTube website prefill with my account information when I have logged out, deleted all the information the browser has connected with YouTube, and activated a proxy to hide my ip address?
The prefill is more than just a prefilled form. I have attached an image of what comes up. It looks to me as if those sites are identifying my accounts at the server end. I have deleted everything in the storage section of the browser inspector application (another picture attached). I also activated a proxy to hide my ip address.
What can I do to Firefox so that when I go to Gmail or Youtube they don't already know it is me?

Hello, I always have Sync turned on, on my Laptop (PC) and my iPhone. When I reinstalled Firefox, everything was synced except my bookmarks. I have all my bookmarks on my iPhone. How do I get my bookmarks back on my Laptop? Can I somehow export my bookmarks on my iPhone, which has Firefox mobile, and email them to myself on my Laptop? I would really appreciate it very much if anyone could assist me this this issue. Thank you.

Hi, I just updated my Windows 10, and now I can no longer pick up and drag tabs in Firefox. I refreshed Firefox to factory defaults, and this still did not solve it. If you go to "grab" a tab, it stays put, unlike previously you could "grab" tabs and drag them to switch positioning.
Are there any other options I may be missing that enable this function again?
Thank you!

Can Firefox developer tools autocomplete tailwind/bootstrap classes?

When I develop web apps, I want to see adding and removing CSS classes in real time, like Chrome devtools do.
I use tailwind CSS heavily (https://tailwindcss.com/) which relies on adding CSS classes to change appearance. The same applies to bootstrap 4 styles.
Chrome devtools autoloads the CSS classes from tailwind, and shows updates to the page as I type. To try this out:
1. go to https://tailwindcss.com/ in chrome/chromium 2. open devtools (f12) 3. switch to the "Elements" tab 4. use the element picker to select the "Get Started" button 5. in the right hand panel, select the ".cls" icon 6. in the box that says "Add new class", type "text-" 7. notice the dropdown and if you change the value (e.g. to text-blue-500) the page updates
In firefox devtools with the equivalent ".cls" feature:
- the classes do not auto-populate
- changes are not shown until the enter key is pressed.
For me personally this is the only feature I use chrome for. Firefox completely satisfies me for all other usage.
Is this something that can be implemented? I have reasonable software development skills so would be willing to assist with this change.
