I have a baffling Firefox (ver 64.0.2 (64 bit) problem. The keyboard's behavior is erratic when using Firefox to read news. It occurs *almost always* when browsing Google News, and *sometimes* with NPR news, StatesReports, and possibly others. Those are the three I read regularly.
Today, the misbehavior on both of my Windows computers, in both safe and normal modes: when Google News is launched, the "Up", "Down", "Left", and "Right" arrow keys do nothing except move a cursor around within page elements; the "Page down" & "Page up", work correctly, but the "End" and "Home" keys do nothing. At other times, successive presses of the page down will work correctly a couple of times, and the next press will perform a page up and the following press results in a page down then the next press results in another page up. This loop continues. From that point pressing the end key or the home key does nothing. At other times, the keys perform as expected. At still other times the Down arrow performs END, and Up arrow performs HOME. The HOME and END KEYS seem to move the cursor left and right within the element which has the FOCUS.
The Chrome browser works fine.
I have two computers running Windows 7 Professional. My laptop is a Lenovo X220. My Desktop is a homebuilt PC based on a Gigabyte motherboard. The laptop is a refurb bought from Amazon in August 2016 and came with Windows 7 professional installed. The PC's Win 7 was installed from a system builder "Intended for Distribution with a refurbished PC" disc about 2 1/2 years ago (June 2016). Both machines have been running without any significant problems until several months ago. Now both have the same problem, while another pc running linux mint does not have the problem.
I have restarted Firefox with add-ons disabled and the problem persists, so I don't believe it is caused by any of the add-ons. I swapped out multiple keyboards, checked both machines for malware using Malwarebytes, restarted Firefox and rebooted the computers several times, and tried running without Microsoft Security Essentials; I decided the Firefox profiles must be the source of the problem, so on Jan 12, 2019 I completely uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox on the PC and it worked fine (keyboard problem gone) so I did the same thing on the laptop, and it also worked correctly. I figured the problem was gone. Then, four days later (the 16th) the problem restarted, on both machines.
I am wondering if there might be a problem with a Firefox or Windows update, since the keyboard issue occurred at roughly the same time on both machines. It seems odd that both computers worked correctly for four days and simultaneously the problem restarted. I certainly don't want to reinstall Windows just to see if that helps.
Any advice will be greatly be appreciated.

I have the latest version: MacOS High Sierra, 10.13.6.
I'm also unable to view my history or Library. Is this problem related to the inability to download latest version? The History tab takes me to Library. When I click History, show all history, the page is blank. When I click the star, Restore, I see that 150 items are available. When I click restore, revert, the message appears:
Unable to process the backup file.
Your advice will be very helpful. Many thanks.

Will reloading while ignoring the cache (ctrl+shift+R) always ignore the cache?

I thought that the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+R always ignored the cache and responses were usually 200 rather than 304. However, I seem to be getting 304s every time I reload with any of the keyboard shortcuts. Could an update have broken these keyboard shortcuts? Or am I mistaken and the server can force you to use the cache on your local device?

I am having trouble getting Firefox to accurately displays colors on a new wide gamut monitor. The monitor has been properly calibrated and both Photoshop and XnView display accurate colors, whereas Firefox is overly saturated. I am testing with a sRGB photo being displayed on the monitor running in AdobeRGB color space. The monitor is calibrated using V2 profiles. My Firefox config changes are included.
So far I have tried: 1) not including the reference to the icm file in the config and letting Firefox query the operating system 2) reinstalling Firefox to ensure a clean set up and no problems 3) using test patterns such as this http://www.simongarrett.co.uk/TestColours.htm In this test all images are identical, which suggest Firefox is not color managing the output
Am I missing something? any thoughts or suggestions of what to try next would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

My 64 bit PC has just had a windows 10 feature update(dec 15 2018). While firefox will load and display what appears to be a normal screen showing my bookmark toolbar for example my default homepage is not shown. If I try to visit any website using the search bar or toolbar bookmarks nothing happens. Chrome is not affected at all and behaves as expected. The moving dot in the tab is black and just oscillates for ever. No error messages are displayed. Any help would be appreciated. I have on occasion disabled all plugins but this appears to make no difference.

I am loading a an application web site that has loads multiple panes of related information and one pane of the other will not load and this error message appears: init: $(...)[0] is undefined. Then one of the panes will not display the information as desired. I click the refresh button, and sometimes this clears the issue and both panes display correctly. If I repeatedly click on the refresh page, the error will appear again and one side will not display again. Then I click again it may or may not clear the issue an both panes may appear as expected. The issue is about 50 - 50, display good no errors and 50% of the time on a refresh action the error will appear and one pane will not display.

Yesterday Firefox suddenly stopped showing any webpages. Multiple attempts at correcting, such as running in safe mode achieved nothing. Resorted to uninstall so that I could replace however whatever I removed FF always knew it had been installed and only offered a refresh. Even tried a Beta version. Currently installed version is 65.0b11 (64-bit), running on Windows 10.Problem is now worse in that options and add on buttons do nothing. I use FF across multiple PC's and find the sync feature very useful, however if not fixed soon, I may have to convert to another browser. I'm having to use Edge to report this problem.
