Fire Fox updates to Ver. 55 even with auto update turned off how to stop this ?

A similar question was posted in another thread and eventually marked as "Solved" by the poster (but not for me) , I followed all the advise in that thread to no avail , Please see below . Sometimes as much as 3 -4 times with in a 12 hour period "FF" will "UPDATE" from ver. 54.0.1 (which is stable) to Ver. 55.0.2 (which has bug's) , the auto-update has been turned OFF but "FF" does it anyway.
Not only does it do an unwanted update, but when it does it "Re-arranges" and removes (some of ) the folders in my bookmarks tool bar.
My current routine is : When starting up "FF" first time of a morning I check the version and check to see that the bookmark's are in their proper order, if they are everything is fine (for maybe an hour) , at some point the screen will blink and I will now be on Ver. 55.0.2 and the bookmarks tool bar will be all screwed up again ( and bookmarks will be slow to respond as well as slow to put the options on screen) . I then have to close the browser, reload ver. 54, and then restore the bookmark's from an earlier version and wait for the next screw up and start the process all over again. The OS here is Win7 Ultimate . I have tried everything suggested in the other thread (I am not all that "computer literate") ! Any thought's or fixes ? Thanks for reading !

Automatically updated to 55.0.2 last night but didn't use it enough to notice ... Opening Menus - File Edit View ... Help > About ... lagging Hovering over folders on Bookmarks Toolbar lagging and also not opening or opening ghosted outline ... then eventually opening.
Trouble shoot: Ran backup of all data that lives on OS Drive including Firefox profile. Restored Marcium Image of OS partition from a few days ago- OK Restore firefox bookmarks from yesterday. Checked Firefox version = something previous to 55.0.2 Update to 55.0.2 automatically downloaded and requested "restart to update".
I DID NOT restart Firefox but first checked Firefox performance
Everything OK ... all menus good and fast ... all bookmarks folders good and fast.
Restarted Firefox let the update apply Got spam page to send FireFox to my phone ( yea ... bite me!@#) Closed Firefox Reopend Firefox and tested performance
- Same LAG issue is now back.***
Please fix this! Thank you!

Firefox 55 is too bright for me, or maybe it contains some new graphic filter: I have an eye strain problem, so I have returned to Firefox 54. It's the first time that it happens to me during all the firefox versions that I have updated. Some more hypothesis: maybe the problem it's a different kind of rendering, or a different kind of blurring during zoom, or some forms of flickering (that human eye can't see). I don't know. Coders should know if something has changed.
Few more info: usually, I have eye strain problems with screens brightness (so, I always use a very low brightness, "under 0". I mean: graphic cards can bring brightness more down than basic monitor options); and I have heavy eye strain problems with antialiasing and all its derivated forms (bilinear,trilinear and anisotropic filtering, ambient occlusion, HDR illumination, depth of field etc. etc.), but I don't think this is the case: for me, it's a common problem with some videogames, but programs usually are made "clean" (in relation to these problematics). In 15 years, I have had problems with no more than 6 programs (and I have used hundreds of programs).
Thanks for the attention.

Firefox (55.02) on macOS High Sierra failed to play an online video, the console log says
Media source blob could not be decoded
I also tried Firefox on macOS earlier version, there is no problem, and Safari or Chrome on macOS High Sierra, no problem neither. So I thought it may be a problem with Firefox. But,
then I tried Firefox on macOS High Sierra plays many other websites like Twitch, Youtube, no problem. So I am confused! What make that website so special that Firefox could not play the video?
What is the possible reason for "Media source blob could not be decoded"?

I have a set of logitec H540 USB heaphone with mic that I use to teach an online course. I cannot use Safari as this is not compatible with the course website and Forefox is. I had to use the audo wizard on Adobe Connect and they worked fine yesterday once I set up with the audio wizard. However just using the headphones with the browser on it's own I just hear static. When I swith to the headphone jack that outputs to my speakers sound is fine. Please advise. I did see a previous post about about some logitech needing to be an add on or something but the USB headset does not come with any software.

New laptop, with force click features, a macbook pro. But it doesn't work with Firefox as far as I can tell. Internet searches reveal nothing much, so hopefully someone here can tell me how to activate it on Firefox, which I find a nicer browser than Safari. But not much point having a brand new laptop if the browser I am using doesn't support the extended possibilities. Thanks a lot.

My current Firefox version is 55.0.2 (64-bit) which I went to because of Flash issues etc etc with the 32-bit. In the meantime, while looking for the current version folder, I have discovered over 50 old working instances of 'Mozilla Firefox' "hidden" in other program folders. A few examples are:
C:\Program Files (x86)\dictionaries\Mozilla Firefox C:\Program Files (x86)\AoaoPhoto Digital Studio\Mozilla Firefox\browser\Mozilla Firefox C:\wifidata\Mozilla Firefox\Mozilla Firefox (3)\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\dictionaries\Mozilla Firefox
The list goes on & on. My hard drive is big, but something has to be done about all these 'rogue' instances of Firefox. They are all 32-bit by the way. I have opened some of them and they immediately begin to 'upgrade' to a newer version because they have been sitting unused for a long time.
How on earth can I delete this clutter? Please advise

Hey folks,
I've been using the new Responsive Design Mode for a while, it's very handy. But recently it's stopped showing any device presets (see image). I can't click on the dropdown nor add a new preset.
Things that could be related:
1) I have multiprocess turned on. 2) I recently installed Nightly (alongside regular Firefox) which might have broken the config? 3) I tried adding the `devtools.responsiveUI.presets` config value but I still have no list.
Thanks in advance.

I used to be able to open a new tab, press ctrl+Z, and have the same address (or random text, didn't matter) of the tab I was just in placed into the new tab as well. I could modify it a bit and navigate to another similar page, or duplicate the tab in a split second if I want.
This was a feature I used frequently and other prominent browsers don't do it. Why was it removed? Was it an accident? I can't think of a legitimately good reason such a unique and unobtrusive feature would be removed intentionally.
