Setting browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to dynamic location (different for each user)
I’m attempting to set browser.cache.disk.parent_directory in about:config to a custom dynamic path string using the Windows %username% variable in order to make it so that each Windows account has its Firefox cache in a different location that is somewhere other than each user’s AppData. What I tried to use was this:
T:\Users\%username%\Firefox\Cache
However, that created a folder path with %username% (literally, not substituted by its value as a Windows variable) as part of it. Is there some way for me to accomplish this?

Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:

In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:

Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.

FF now loads duplicates of many pages (multiple tabs) when restoring session. When I attempt to close duplicates, it stalls. And seems to load up even more copies when I try again, after force-quitting. This has been going on for some weeks. Most recently, when I attempted to go through the windows before session restore, there was no time before the loading began. totally frustrated.
Prior to this, a couple months ago, session restore was totally unavailable for me. I read thru the many posts on this, but nothing was able to restore my sessions. Now, the opposite.

Hi, my MSN outlook.live.com email just shows a blank page. I noticed this on 8-16-19 I was opening a link that took me to a google service rating site. After I rated the business I then went back to my email and just a blank page shows. I did remove all cookies, recent history, but not all history. It did not help so I updated from v.47 to v56 and thought that might clear it up, but it did not help. I can use it on IE v11. Not sure if I can try something else or not, before doing a refresh, another update or uninstall and reinstall. I am 72 now so was looking for a easy fix, just don't remember stuff like I used to?

I am using Windows 10 Pro 1903, Firefox 69.0.3 (64-bit)
When I edit a document in Google Docs after entering some characters the tab crashes. If I stay on the same tab it stops to respond and after a few seconds it works again and all the characters I have entered appear. if i change to another tab and then back to the Google Docs tab then some round "reload" icon is shown, tab reloads and all is back to normal. When I change to about:performance when the Google Doc tab is hanging then it does not show up there anymore. After it is reloaded like 10 seconds later it appears again in about:performance.
When I start Firefox in Safe Mode then everything works fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. I then tried to narrow down the issue by disabling Hardware Acceleration, disabling all the extensions, plugins and making sure default theme is being used. But the issue was still there when I did not use Safe Mode.
I then created a new profile and after that did not help, I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the program files folder manually, reinstalled but the issue is still there. I also deleted all the Firefox System Add-Ons but still no success.
The issue happens with my normal Firefox in Private Mode, too.
How can I troubleshoot this further? What does Safe Mode do in addition to the things I have mentioned above?

We have used the upload functionality of buefy where any files can be dragged for upload. This works fine in Chrome. However, I am having troubles in Firefox.
Workflow: In Firefox, when I click on the browse button/DragAndDropSpace, a window pops up titled, "File Upload" If I click a file and click "open" it works fine, but I can't drag any files out of the "file upload" window. However, if I open my file explorer window, I can drag and drop the files in drag and drop space, just fine from the File Explorer window, but when I try to drag from the popup window titled "File Upload", I get a ghost image with a circle and red slash.
Expected behavior Since it is working in Crome browser so it should also work on other browser.
First I had filed the issue with buefy team but as per buefy team, It is a issue of Firefox. Buefy Bug Link : https://github.com/buefy/buefy/issues/1729
I have uploaded the bug video on buefy bug please find the attachment "BuefyUploadBug.zip"
I have uploaded the snapshot of issue please find the FirefoxIssue.jpg

Every time I try to download any files attached to my mails and from Google Drive, nothing happens. What is the cause of this problem and how can I fix it? I've been encountering this for some quite time now, and every time I encounter it I switch to Google Chrome and download the files from there; which, for me, is very tasking since I prefer to use this browser. So please, fix this issue.

What you've managed to achieve with those annoying nags is instead of me updating the browser through Help->About every month or two when I get the need to restart it, is never updating it anymore until a site I need breaks... which probably won't happen anytime soon until StackOverflow decides to require a newer version than 69... It's way too much effort going to your site, downloading the full version and manually installing it every couple of months and then manually adding policies.json again when you've being accustomed to just going to Help->About for the same thing... so, thank you once again for managing to make my machine (and probably the ones of many other people too lazy to say anything) much more vulnerable!
I've been wasting my time searching for workarounds ever since version 63 came out and setting "app.update.doorhanger" to false in about:config was an acceptable solution but you had to break that as well...
I've been using Firefox ever since it came out all those years ago and will probably continue to use it but it will be only because I hate Chrome even more... guess I will be stuck with an old version from now on... hope you're happy with your "great" solution to keep people up-to date...
It's fine that you want inexperienced users to be protected but why does it have to be at the expense of people who know what they're doing and want to decide for themselves when to update? What was so wrong with the ability to hide update nags from about:config where casual users never touch, that you had to remove it completely?

Recently Firefox has become very slow to load pages. It starts up OK but is very slow to open the first page on a website, often over a minute. Once the first page opens however it will open links perfectly OK. It doesn't matter whether it's a bookmark I visit often or the first time I visit s website it's still very slow to open the first page.
I've tried everything I know (several times); I've uninstalled & re-installed Firefox, created a new profile, loaded in Safe Mode, removed all add-ons and re-installed them one by one and refreshed Firefox. Each method corrects it initially so I leave it a while then re-install each add-on in turn. I let it run for a day or so with each add-on and each time it runs fine. Until I get all add-ons re-installed! It always runs OK for a day or two (or sometimes longer) then it suddenly slows down again and will remain slow until I do one of the above again.
I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 and Firefox Quantum and I've also disabled the antimalware in Windows Defender but that's made no difference. By comparison I don't have any problems with either Chrome or Edge?
Any suggestions please?

As of today, I can't select the checkbox besides a message in yahoo mail. Doing so just opens up the message. I would like to go back to being able to use the checkbox to select many emails for deletion at the same time. I was able to do this in yahoo mail up until today. This only happens in Firefox. When I open my yahoo mail in Internet Explorer, it works just fine the way it always did.
