1st, please read my prior question for background as to why I MUST HAVE BOTH VERSIONS @ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265937 - "Is there any "Extension" that is capable of storing CONSECUTIVE "Screen Captures" in the Same Directory or do I have to continue to use FF 56.0.2".
This question has to do with the VERY poorly written v68.0.2 update.
If you read my prior post, address above, I MUST KEEP V56.0.2 ALIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE REPETITIVE CONSECUTIVE SCREEN PRINTS IN THE SAME DIRECTLY - v68.0.1 HAD NO CAPABILITY OF DOING THAT, AND NEITHER DOES V68.0.2 APPARENTLY.
FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF SEVERAL CONTRIBUTORS - I WAS TOLD THAT I JUST NEEDED TO INSTALL v68+ IN A DIRECTORY OTHER THAN "Mozilla Firefox" SUCH AS "Mozilla Firefox - NEW", IN THE C:\Program Files DIRECTORY.
I HAD v56.0.2 RUNNING ON ANOTHER TASK, OPENED V 68.0.1, WHICH DEMANDED AN UPDATE - IT COULD NOT EVEN TELL THAT THE MESSAGE CAME FROM 68.0.1, INSTEAD IT UPDATED THAT TO 68.0.2, BUT IT ALSO TRASHED MY INSTALLATION OF 56.0.2
WHILE EXECUTING THIS HORRIBLE UPDATE, IT DID NOT ASK WHICH DIRECTORY TO INSTALL IT IN - IT JUST PLOWED AHEAD AND DESTROYED MY V56.0.2 INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS MY ACCESS TO THE ONLY USABLE SCREEN CAPTURE ADD-ONS - SINCE V57+ DESTROYED THOSE.
THE FACT THAT NOW EVEN UPDATES ARE SO POORLY WRITTEN, IT APPEARS THAT THE END OF THE ROAD IS AHEAD FOR MOZILLA.
I MUST HAVE A DOWNLOAD LINK TO V56.0.2 WHICH SHOULD RESTORE MY ADD-ONS. (NOT DRECTED FROM FROM PAGE https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox#w_i-still-want-to-downgrade-ae-where-can-i-get-the-previous-version TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/") TO THE ENTRY FOR "Dir 56.0.2/" THEN TO https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
THIS "LIST" OF FILES FOR FF V56.0.2, HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT FILE WHICH USERS NEED TO DOWNLOAD TO RESTORE WHAT MOZILLA's FF V68.0.2 UPDATE DESTROYED - AGAINST MY SETTINGS AND WISHES & WITHOUT MY PERMMISION.
IF MOZILLA WILL NOT FIX THE WEB-EXTENSIONS - THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 BACK NOW ! ! !
RETALIATING AGAINST USERS WHO REQUIRE 2 INSTALLATIONS, JUST TO COMPLETE BASIC BROWSING TASKS (56.0.2 & 68.0.2) SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO PRODUCE USABLE SCREEN CAPTURES WITHOUT HAVING TO REPETITIVELY RE-NAVIGATE TO THE SAME DESIRED DIRECTORY TIME, AFTER TIME, IS TRULY EVIL.
PLEASE DIRECT ME TO A USABLE LINK TO DOWNLOAD A FUNCTIONAL VERSION OF 56.0.2 - OR PLEASE INDICATE WHAT FILES NEED TO BE DOWNLOADED AND EXECUTED FROM https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ ("Index of /pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/').
FIX YOUR 68.0.2 UPDATES SO THERE IS NO IMPACT ON ANY OTHER VERSIONS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTORIES - THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS HAPPENING ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD 52.0.6 SET TO NEVER UPDATE.
THIS USER MUST HAVE V56.0.2 (and its functional add-ons) BACK NOW IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT PAYING MY BILLS ! ! !

Long-time Firefox user with several profiles defined via ProfileManager. Have several AppleScript apps that start firefox-bin with "-P profilename" to start Firefox with the named profile (see <https://spf13.com/post/managing-multiple-firefox-profiles-in-os-x/> for a description of how this is set up). They no longer work. Starting the profiles from a shell prompt also does not seem to work, at best it opens a new Firefox window in each currently-open Firefox profile. Have tried -P with profile name (profile name quoted), --profile with path to profile's "Root Directory", --profile with path to profile's "Local Directory", pathnames quoted if necessary; all of the above with --new-instance. No joy. What am I missing?

Hi all,
I would like to know, how I can prevent the uninstall of addons from the toolbar menu? Even if I decide to remove them from the toolbar with customize, I can still uninstall them after moving them back up to the toolbar with customize.
Is there some add on that password locks this from happening?
My reason for doing this is because I have lots of younger relatives who use my laptop sometimes to play games. I want to make sure they are safe on the internet and not messing around with key settings.
Thanks in advance!

It took a bit of troubleshooting to isolate the cause of this. But apparently after my most recent Firefox update, when I click on the "Email Link" function, which I have in my overflow menu, the email itself does not pop up on top of the browser, instead it is hidden beneath it when it used to be on top.
I have done a couple of restores, tested all recent Windows updates, and upon a final restore and more or less disabling the Firefox updates, I believe the problem is with my most recent Firefox update. As long as I don't update, the email appears on top of the browser.
Short of disabling Firefox updates entirely, of which I wish i could do, I would accept responsibility for that, I can find no other workaround except to minimize the browser in order to address & send the email.
Thank you.

On Firefox (68.0.2) for Mac (OS 10.14.6): for the past month or so, most (but not all) Youtube videos give "If playback doesn’t begin shortly try restarting your device" error.
Videos play with no problem in my other browsers.
I have tried restarting in Safe Mode and the problem persists. Autoplayback is on. I also tried unchecking "Use hardware acceleration" in preferences, which had no effect (so I turned it back on). Clearing the cache has no effect.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I like to have more than one window open, for different things, depending what i'm doing. however, since I started using Multi-Account Containers, it's been trying auto-combine windows when I first open something. So, maybe I'm doing some research on new gear, and open a window exclusively for Amazon, so I can buy/wish list what I'm finding. I can open a new window, but as soon as I go to Amazon.com, Firefox tries to combine that tab into the existing window. This is happening independent of which containers are being used.
How can I make the auto-combine stop?

ubuntu 16.04, firefox 68.0.1. New instance started after "updated in background" restart just sits there. Add-ons are not started, tabs are not restored as promised. Typing in URL bar and hitting enter does nothing. No response to attempt to open a bookmark. Typing "about:support", no response. I tried removing and re-installing firefox with "sudo apt", no help. Starting firefox without addons, no help. The "about:firefox" display shows no change in version number. A reboot is the only thing that cures this. It has now happened 8 times (8/2, 8/5, 8/9. 8/16 and 4 times earlier). I have about-buildconfig, about-firefox and about-support from 8/2 and 8/5 if they would be helpful.

[ Windows 7, x64 - Firefox Quantum 69.0b14 ]
I have been trying to make a permanent modification of prefs.js, specifically changing browser.launcherprocess.enabled to false because it is incredibly annoying not being able to drag bookmarks to a folder (whatever the security implications of such), but I cannot make the change stick because it is overidden by xul.dll whenever I restart my machine.
I had hoped to re-code xul.dll, but this does not appeart to be possible, as it seems that xul.dll is proprietary; so I am wondering if anyone can suggest something (other than using a browser which does force options on you whether you like it or not) or if there is a legacy version of xul.dll (and associated signature file) that can be used instead?
