http://askubuntu.com/questions/580351/maintaining-windows-in-workspace-after-program-restart
I'm asking it the same way here with this additional question: Is this or could this be a feature in development?
Thanks for any advice!

Not every potentially site-breaking addon has a site whitelist or enable/disable list. While some addons exsit for "sandboxing" tabs - it only sandboxes the pages loaded on that tab, not what the browser/addons do to them. I've already searched for solutions, and frankly, I'm surprised that this question hasn't been asked before until now: Why can't multiple "profiles" be run side-by-side, on a per-tab and/or specific-website(s) basis, in the same browser window?

I have been using Firefox since early days. Up until recent I was a BIG fan of Firefox. I'm the rare user who'd actually fling a 50 in FF's direction when ever there is a fund raiser. Initially I HATED google for releasing Chrome. How could they think they could improve on FF.
Unfortunately more and more I an finding I need to open up Chrome to do something that FF wont.
I use Linux Mint and Windows 7 have done for years. I see now that FF has stopped supporting Flash. Yet Chrome plays it beautifully. Its the little niggles I can overlook, and there are lots of them, but not been able to open a simple youtube video now, is the final straw.
Unfortunately I find myself opening Chrome more and more. It seems like FF is doing its darndest to push peoiple away.
I'll check back on FF in a few months, but in the mean time, sadly I'm a Chrome user :(

I think it's unacceptable that in 2015 I could still harvest the average user's usernames and passwords by simply asking to use their browser for a few minutes. Edit > Preferences > Saved Passwords... should be behind a password prompt, rather than being accessible by default. Upon clicking this, you are given a list of usernames, passwords, sites the accounts are for, and the dates last used or changed. Upon clicking Show Passwords, the passwords are revealed, as described. This seems like an incredibly exploitable issue. Sure, a user has the option to not save passwords for future use, but the average user neither cares nor understands the issue in detail. Hell, I didn't even know this feature existed, and I've used Firefox since 2.x.x. It is my understanding that Chrome has this under a password lock, and I believe it is imperative that Firefox makes this change.
I've attached a screenshot of this menu, with my data removed.

Chrome still has navigation on the context menu, maybe I should just switch? It's easier than fighting years' worth of usage habits.

I'd like to move my Firefox browser cache to main memory, having weighed up the benefits and drawbacks.
My question is: what happens when both the "browser.cache.disk.enable" and "browser.cache.memory.enable" configs (with the capacity config also set) are set to "true"?
Is data cached to both memory and disk? Does memory take precedence over disk in this case?
Thanks, thecosmicfrog

With many tabs open we get two arrows on top of the screen to scroll left and right through tabs by clicking with the mouse. Please see the attached image for an example.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for those arrows or is it possible to add one?
Note: I am aware that we can scroll through tabs directly with Alt+[Num], or by using Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown. I have dozens of tabs open, so if I want to go to tab 35 I can't use Alt+[Num], and using Ctrl+PgDn is a problem if I'm say in tab 65. The reason is that with Ctrl+PgDn the tabs from 65 back to 35 would all open while I'm passing through them.

On my Linux Mint 17.1 Mate with Firefox 35.0.1, there are a bunch of language packs preintalled that I want to get rid of, they clutter my right-click-spellcheck-menu,. However, I cannot find them anywhere in the settings or add-ons.
English Australia, South Africa and US appear in my right-click-spellcheck-menu, but nowhere else. It is those languages I wish to remove. I found South African English under about:addons-languages and disabled it, but it still occurs in the right-click-spellcheck-menu.

My son deletes entries in the Firefox History File to hide the fact he has been going to gaming websites rather than concentrating on homework, etc..
He knows he should not be doing this, but as long as he knows he is able to simply remove the selected entries in 'History' he will continue to abuse it. Surely it cannot be beyond the 'Firefox developers' to enable perhaps the 'Firefox Master Password' feature to have the history 'locked down' in such a way that entries are made, but the amendment 'after the fact' are restricted to someone with the 'Master Password'

Attempting to add Google SLL (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-ssl-243978/?src=ss) to Firefox (35.0.1 Mozilla FIrefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) fails with the error message "Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plugin." I've tried suggested support pretaining to "useragent", but the suggested "reset" option is greyed in the selection menu. Is there a workaround?

Since the latest update to version 35, many sites that use javascript to manipulate images tend to crash firefox and make either the guilty tab or all of firefox close suddenly. (Firefox on Debian 7 Wheezy Linux, all updates current). I use firefox daily for web development and this regression bug is VERY annoying for my workflow. I understand you cannot take every situation into account. I do not have the time to investigate what has made Firefox less stable. I really hope you can fix this performance problem. If I can do anything concrete to help besides jumping into the code, let me know.
