Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
For many years, the content management system that I have been using has worked just fine with previous versions of Firefox. To access the backend area for a client of mine to edit their own website I built for them, they would go to their website and hit Control-Y on any page of their website. This would bring up the login prompt window so they could login and start live editing their site. Now, when I hit Control-Y, nothing happens.
I saw a previous post that mentioned adjusting (allowing) keyboard shortcuts in the settings area. I did this but unfortunately, this didn't solve my issue.
Can someone tell me why this no longer works with Firefox and what the possible fix / workaround might be?
Thank you so much!!

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.

On multiple versions of Firefox ESR, I cannot successfully load amtrak.com. I do have a proxy inline, but all other browsers work just fine. I get the SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP only when using Firefox. I did some searches online and found other people also had this error when trying to reach amtrak.com but didn't see any fixes. Anyone have any solutions?
Firefox frequently stutters, lags, and results in severe input delay

This has only been happening for about a week or so, but it seems to be getting gradually worse and worse to the point where I'm considering just using another browser. Basically what is happening is that whenever I'm using Firefox, it will very frequently stutter/lag. And by "frequently" I mean once every 2-4 seconds. This stutter hangs for about another 1-2 seconds before any inputs I attempted will suddenly and quickly catch up.
For instance, if I'm typing (like I'm doing with this description) it will regularly hang as I type for about a second or two. I can still type while it is hanging, but nothing will appear on the screen until it finishes its stutter, then it will suddenly just display everything that I typed.
-Important note: When I say "hangs" I don't mean in the tradition sense where the browser goes unresponsive. The browser does not freeze. In the case of me typing in a text box, the cursor still blinks as if it is waiting for input. If I'm watching a video, the video will continue to play, etc. What is "hanging" is literally my ability to input anything.
Another example: Scrolling. I'll attempt to scroll, then it will hang for a moment, then quickly jump to the location it 'should' have scrolled to.
This goes for literally any input. And Like I said before, it seems to be getting worse and worse gradually over time. It started as a negligible little hiccup that happened randomly. Then it got more frequent and more pronounced. Now I can't even type a full word without it lagging out. Just earlier I was watching a youtube video and tried to click my mouse to pause the video... but the video didn't pause for a full 3 seconds until after I clicked my mouse.
Things I have done so far:
- I made sure I was using the most recent version of Firefox (69.0)
- I downloaded chrome to test if that gave me the same issues. It did not. Everything worked super smoothly.
- I looked at the resources Firefox was using in task manager and Firefox uses about 530mb of memory, and hovers between 4-11% of CPU usage.
- I have already attempted a restore for Firefox, which did nothing to fix the issue.
- I've made sure my graphics drivers where up to date.
- I've disabled hardware acceleration in the settings.
I've been using Firefox for over 12 years now and I really don't want to switch browsers... but I don't know what else I can do.

For the second time in a few months, my browser pops up a new tab with a big red page claiming my computer has been infected and all kinds of badness is happening. And Windows itself becomes completely locked up. I needed to take it down for a hard boot. Upon recovering my system and looking at my browser history, I see that there is a huge pile of calls to some purported service: arrideral.info -- so the computer lock-up would seem to have been due to some (assumed) Javascript running in some site which is running the multiple calls and bogging down Windows to the point where it is unresponsive. Obvious malicious intent. How can I avoid this? (BTW I got this info from wa-com.com: "Arriederal.info is registered since 10 September 2019. Arriederal.info IP is 167.114.45.229. Arriederal.info is hosted in Canada (Montréal, Quebec). " )

As far as I can tell, this is mainly a Windows 7 problem. I have done a fair bit of testing with gifs I've made myself, and while I don't exactly know how gif "encoding" or whatever works, it seems to be a problem with how Twitter converts certain gif versions.
If I make a gif with Aseprite 1.2.13-x64 the gifs do not work, and show up as black. However you can still download them as a video, reupload them, and then they work, which is kinda weird but I assume twitter re-converts the videos into something else.
However if I make the same gif with Aseprite 1.2.9 which is at least a year older, they work on Twitter.
I've seen some references about H.264 Level 5.2 not working on Windows 7, and maybe that might be the issue? If so, is there any way to get Level 5.2 media to play on Windows 7? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479203#c10
Using MediaInfo to check the files of the videos in question they say that they are using AVC (Main@L5.2) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames), while the "gifs" (yes I know that they are just videos on Twitter) that DO work are AVC (Main@L5).

I'm using Apple OS 10.13 with Firefox 68.0.2. At least once or twice a week, when browsing (different, not always the same) sites in Firefox, my computer gets locked up: either, 1) the cursor moves along with the mouse but can't click anything, and the machine can be SSH'd into but %sudo kill -KILL doesn't stop any of the processes (I tried to kill mozilla process and then the loginwindow, as an effort to find a way out of the lock state that's gentler that a hardware reset), or 2) the cursor doesn't move and SSH server doesn't respond. Either way, I have to physically turn the machine off and on to continue. I don't understand how a user-level process can lock up the whole thing, but it didn't used to happen - it started a few weeks ago. What can I do?

Firefox has opened successfully for years. Today, I double clicked on the icon, and it will not launch. I uninstalled and reinstalled it two three times and no luck. So I then tried performing the profile creation and got the following result.
