Ever since my first ever use of FireFox the setting to "update" has been set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them".
Yesterday I clicked to accept the latest update (to 71.0 I think) at which point the programme simply crashed without warning.
I went through various processes to try and resurrect FF, but without success --- FireFox would not run.
I eventually resorted to installing Version 65.0 but, despite the update settings being set as above, Version 71 kept installing and making FF a "non-starter" again.
I made an alteration to the "about:config" which seems to have stopped the automatic updating, albeit the "FF Icon" still wants to function as "Updater" and I get a message (when started) saying FF is unable to update to the latest version - "click here to download etc.," which of course I don't do and FF continues to perform as expected - albeit 65 and not 71.
Is there a problem with Version 71 and (possible) Win 7 64 bit ?
How can I reconfigure the "FF Icon" to simply start the programme (version 65) in the normal way and not get involved with it wanting to update all the time?
Another peculiarity that has arisen is that, when I try to change the Default language from American English to British English I receive a message saying FF cannot change as it is not online. (Version 65 and it is definitely online)
I have carried out system scans for Viruses etc., perform really in-depth un-installations of FF, and no new applications have recently been installed.

Firefox is crashing (BSOD) my computer (PC with Win7x64) daily, during mouse movement or during auto-scrolling after clicking the middle mouse button. It usually happens at least once per day, and has been happening for weeks. FF, Windows and my mouse driver are up to date. I have tested memory many times (using Memtest86) and my hard drive. I have no crashes except in Firefox during mouse activity.
The BSOD reports vary. Recent ones: Bad Pool Caller (019 and 0C2), PFN List Corrupt (04E), Memory Management Error (01A), ??? (07E), System Service Exception (033). The only consistent thing is using the mouse within Firefox.

Master password had been working fine for months now. This week, all of a sudden, Firefox will open and function without asking for my password.
After a few minutes it will ask for the pass.... and then it will repeat every 10-15mins to ask for the password again.
(This is only some sessions. 1 out of 3 maybe. The rest of the time Master Password works properly, just like before.)

I recently re-imaged a Windows 7 Home Premium machine (service pack 1) I have the latest version of java installed, and a fresh install of FF 71. The Firefox install is set to "factory" defaults with no addons. Most (all?) web sites have one or more elements that either fail to load completely or flash on and off as I move the mouse or scroll through the page. On the affected computer this page fails to load almost entirely, I've written this question on a different machine, also running FF71 though this one is flawless.
Some pages, like Googles home page, will eventually stabilize and become usable (their logo is an element that is almost always an issue) but other sites like Bloomberg never seem to stabilize and any attempt to scroll or navigate is like watching a bad light show.

I had 2 Firefox browsers that had a bunch of tabs open. I mistakenly clicked a link in Outlook that opened Firefox for that webpage. I quickly closed it from the toolbar, realizing I might lose all the other tabs, and I did lose them. I had at least 14 in one, 16 in another, and is there any way I can go back and retrieve them? Does Firefox keep any backups of open tabs so I can get to them? I had so many open, there's no way I can remember which ones they were, because I multitask like crazy. Now, I'm afraid to use it at all, just in case the more I do, the more the previous sessions will be lost. YIKES! I just moved, got my computer back up and running, and now this. I could chew my own arm off for this. Can anybody out there help me?

When I click the Back button, and there are several items in the dropdown history list, seems that I have to hold the left mouse button down for some pre-determined interval before the whole dropdown list is presented.
Before this interval transpires, the button appears pressed, but no dropdown list is presented.
Is there a configuration variable that sets this minimum time to hold the button down, before the dropdown list is displayed ?
If not, is there some other method to have the dropdown list displayed sooner, if not immediately ?

Whenever I log into my financial institution's or my ISP's website, Firefox often freezes. My version is 69.0.3 on Windows 7 64-Bit. Would the Windows 7 be the problem? Is this version of Firefox more for benefit of Windows 10 users? My next computer will not be Windows as I did not get my money's worth out of seven. Too much maintenance required; and I don't need this problem. Thank you.
