I am running Firefox 65.0.2 in Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. It is 8:16PM on 03/18/2019. The recovery files have timestamps:

Why is Firefox not writing a new file when I open or close a tab? Is there anything I can do right now do get diagnostics on this problem? I believe that tomorrow I may be installing Windows patches and have to reboot, and restarting Firefox will lose all diagnostic data. Thanks.

I founf the following documentation about enabling FIPS mode, just curious if there are more updated documentation since the screens are now different. Step 3 is easy using a script however step 1 no longer exists. Curious if it could be enabled then the profile saved and exported and brought into the new system allowing the configuration to stay. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Configuring%20Firefox%20for%20FIPS%20140-2

I would love to ditch chrome. But, if I use firefox, after some period of time my entire desktop will freeze and I end up powering off my computer to recover and losing work as a result. In fact all web developers I have worked with avoid firefox for this reason.
I have had this same experience everywhere that I have run firefox. Thousands of different web sites on multiple different computers, multiple different operating system and as far back as I can remember, at least a decade, possibly since firefox has existed.
Someone must be able to use firefox without this happening. How do you do it? Yes, I've tried the various suggestions mentioned over and over for years and years.

I have been wrestling with this for months, if not years... Thunderbird (now on 60.8.0 and earlier releases) will not reliasbly always save copies quickly to sent foldder. Sometimes it is instantaneous, other times it just hangs and hangs. When it does I have to click the try again method TWICE... My ISP consultants have double-checked the installation and the email servers their end; I have changed the Sent folder setting to Other and then specified sent folder. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Any ideas on anything I have not yet tried?

After updating Firefox yesterday and restarting my Win7 I was unable to open my Firefox. The error message was "Can't open this item. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted." I was given the choice to remove it or not. When I chose not, the event and error message reiterated; so I chose to remove. Thereafter I've been unable to bring up or download Firefox, with the following error message with each try:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome//browser/content/browser.XUL Line Nunber 50, Column 1:
I followed all the instructions in the article "Recovering important data from an old profile," but when I open FF, there are no bookmarks and no history.

At least, I think I followed all the instructions. After I created the new profile, I went to the section that reads:
Important: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders. Also, Step 1 refers to your "old" profile folder - the profile containing data you want to copy to a new profile. If you can't open a profile from within Firefox, see Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
I found this instruction a little irritating—if in step one "profile" means "old profile folder," then why not say so? But the big problem is that, with the warning that Firefox must be closed down, I closed FF.
Then I came across this:
Open your profile folder: From the Help menu, choose Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section, click on Show in Finder . A window will open that contains your profile folder.
Well, these instructions forced me to open Ff again—but to my dismay, when I went to the Application Basics section, and looked at Show in Finder, it wasn't my old profile that showed, but my new one. Since I only found my old profile picture in the first place by following the same instructions to go to Application Basics when I was told to make a copy of the old profile, which was at that time my current profile, I only got to that profile because it opened automatically—I didn't remember the path, so I don't know how to find it. But since I did make a copy of it to my external hard drive, I opened my Old Profile from there.
Then this: Click the Firefox menu at the top of the screen, then click Quit Firefox.
So I quit FF.
Then this: Hold down the control key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
I found this confusing; why in the world would I be told to click on a file to copy before I was told to open the new profile? And where WAS the new profile?
So I opened FF again, went to Application Basics, and then opened the new profile, then closed FF again.
So I was once more at this step:
Hold down the control key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
But it occurred to me that, rather than repeat this step for each individual item, why not just drag the first sub-folder from the Old Profile to the New One? I tried that, but got a message saying that the folder was invisible, so I selected everything in that folder and just dragged it into the new profile.
I clicked on everything in the second sub-folder in the Old Profile, but when I dropped the selection in the New Profile, I got a message saying that there were copies, so I stopped. Since I didn't know why there were two sub-folders in the Old Profile, I thought that, in order to make sure that everything from the Old Profile Folder was in the NPF, I created two sub-folders in the NPF, one entitled "0 untitled" and the other "O untitled 2." Then I selected and dragged everything that I had transferred from the first sub-folder of the OPF into the NPF *before* I had created sub-folders for the NPF, and I dragged them into "0 untitled." Then I revisited the second sub-folder of the OPF, selected its contents, then dragged and dropped them into the NPF sub-folder "0 untitled 2."
When I got to the section "Your important data and their files," I was a little confused, because at first I thought I had to transfer these manually because they were not in the OPF, so I searched for them, but when I selected the "places.sqlite" and tried to drag and drop it, I got a message asking whether I wished to delete the file from the Cloud—since I didn't, I didn't. Finally it occurred to me that perhaps they were in the OPF, so I looked, and they were.
The article ends without any instructions as to what to do once you have finished transferring files from the OPF to the NPF, so I simply clicked on FF, which opened without the data. I closed FF, then shut down and restarted my computer, but when I opened FF, still no data.
I thought perhaps that I had been wrong to drag and drop, so I opened the copy of my OPF on my external hard drive, then opened FF again t the Application Basics so that I could open the NPF in the finder. When the NPF opened, I was surprised to see that the two sub-folders no longer had the titles I gave them, but had rather the strange string of numbers and letters reminiscent of the names of the invisible folders in the OPF.
Should I create another new profile folder and then go through the laborious process of selecting one file, clicking copy, then going into the NPF, without the sub-folders, and then click "Paste"? If I do that for one sub-folder from the OPF, should I create a first sub-folder for the NPF, and then put all the laboriously transferred files from the first sub-folder of the OPF into the new first sub-folder of the NPF, and then repeat that process when I transfer the files laboriously one by one from the second sub-folder of the OPF into the NPF?
I am at a loss, and would appreciate help.

Please answer each question separately:
Even though Google is my default search engine, I have selected the remaining 6 default options under 'One Click' Search Engines.
When I type a letter, it brings up searches for my default Google but the icons for the other search engines are in the bottom left corner.
1. Am I supposed to click on one of the icons to bring up a search for that particular search engine OR is my address bar search supposed to show searches for all seven search engines?
2. When 'Never Remember History' is selected, am I still able to select the 'One Click Search Engines' that will automatically be displayed the next time that 'Remember History' is selected OR can I only choose the one-click search engine options when 'Remember History' is selected?
3. Before signing into my old account, I noticed that users have to create a new Firefox account, even if they have an existing account, so that is what I did-Is that what I was supposed to do?
4. With this new account, will I automatically receive an email notification when someone responds to my thread?
5. Periodically, when signing in with my new account, I receive a 'Bad Request 400' message. Other times, I am able to sign in but the top right corner does not show me as signed in so I have to sign in again; Are these known glitches?

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

After a recent automatic update my old problem with Firefox Quantum came back. Every time I open Firefox browser I get multiple 4-6 firefox.exe running in the background processes. When I go into details and try to end process tree it crashes my browser. When I open Firefox it starts all over again. I have gone into about:preferences and
De-select ‘Use recommended performance settings’ Set Content process limit value to ‘1’ from its default value
I have also gone into about:config and switched browser.tabs.remote.autostart to false. Still have the same problem.
Can you elimanate the tab bar at the top of the browser? I'd rather just open new windows.
That's all I'd like to know. Is there a simple way to do this? The bar on the top takes up space and I feel is redundant.

Hours and hours wasted trying to stop floating videos, pop-unders and overlays. DO NOT tell me to do about:config ! I did it all through exhaustive research. No effect. The solutions are all over the place and VERY repetitious. Every permutation of suggested FF fixes have been tried. Am a very savvy Windows user... It goes round and round and round and round and round in circles...
Daily I am plagued by floating videos, pop-unders and overlays. It never ends. Once again -- DO NOT tell me to do any more about:config -- it has all been tied an tested. All the settings are as suggested...
