Version 71 FF Won't Run

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.

My work just updated my computers. On the old computers, if I download a .aspx file from a website (something I do frequently for my job) the file would open in my installed pdf reader (Foxit PhantomPDF - Version: 9.2.0.9297). On the new computers, the .aspx file opens in the Firefox "in-browser" pdf reader. The filetype .pdf is set to automatically open in Foxit, but there is no .aspx filetype available in the applications list of Firefox preferences. Does anyone know a away to force firefox to open a certain filetype (like .aspx) with a certain program?
For reference, my old computers were Lenovos. I had a tower running windows 7 and a laptop running windows 10. Both behaved correctly where the .aspx file would open automatically (or at least ask) in Foxit. The new computers are Dells. Again a tower and a laptop. Both are running windows 10 and both are behaving the same way where .aspx files open in the firefox "in-browser" pdf reader.

This exact same userchrome.css still works fine on my pc,both computers are running the same,latest version of Firefox [69]. It also worked fine in my old laptop...like,two days ago before I sold it. I think everything else in the userchrome.css seems to still work on this laptop...spacing,tab height,search box,address bar clear instead of cloudy etc etc...but not the tabs on bottom part.
First pic [capture 1] is the pc with tabs on bottom,how I want them..second pic is this laptop...tabs on top. Any ideas to restore the tabs to the bottom would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

I'll explain this as best I can.
Example:
I search for a politician by they name. I find in the search that they have a Facebook Page. When I click on the FB Link and go to FB I am UNABLE to use the Back Button to go back to my search results.
I use Duck Duck Go as my search engine.
This is just weird and it needs to stop. :)
I constantly get a verification error if I want to verificate my account.
See the attached screenshot. This text is constantly being received when I click on the button in the verification e-mail.

Ctrl+R (Maybe only exclusive in Indonesia version, which "Riwayat" means history/recent which makes sense) is used for opening History sidebar AND Refresh page. However, since firefox unable to modify keybinds leads to unfixable problem. Pressing Ctrl+R only refresh current page, not opening the history too. I would like to revert it back to Ctrl+H, because that's how most browser works too.

I have Firefox 70.0.1 (64-bit) running on Windows 10 Pro. I recently added several addons to firefox on a fresh install (new laptop) prior to syncing to my account from another PC, but despite appearing on the list of addons as enabled, (and all having worked for me previously on my old laptop) the new extensions do not appear in my toolbar or on the list of items to include in the toolbar when I click on customize. I have closed and restarted both firefox and my machine, and removed and reinstalled the addons several times but none of this has helped. I also synced my account and clicked the include addons checkbox and this did not help either.

i have had this issue for a year now, with no end in sight. my interface language on my entire computer is english. everything english. the keyboard is a german keyboard because i bought my machine where i live, in austria. but my written language and all dictionaries are english. same with my preferences in firefox, english everywhere. but for some reason the language constantly switches back and forth between german and english. look at the video, it's insane. i've uninstalled and started over. i've wiped the entire computer and installed EVERYTHING fresh. no change. when i install and use firefox, it comes back. it only happens in firefox. argh. screen capture of the language switching: https://youtu.be/gq8hXs5pXm0

Per Firefox guidance there is an option to toggle on an option that would not would not prompt to update. The option box though is not an option in preferences (See below).
Did this option once exist, but it is no longer available and no one bothered to up date the trouble shoot guide?
If so, why does it not still exist?
Can it be brought back?
If not, is there some backdoor way to shut it off?
Thank you kindly
Firefox occasionally checks to see if any updates are available for itself and for your search engines. To disable these checks:
Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Preferences. In the General panel, scroll down to the Firefox Updates section. Check Never check for updates (not recommended) and uncheck Automatically update search engines. Close the about:preferences page. Any changes you've made will automatically be saved.
