Congratulations with ruining my ad ons for the fourth time in a row. This time you disabled all of them and make running my business impossible. I tried the fix you suggested by running the "studies". Nothing happened. You indicated the problem was with version 66. I have it happening with version 69.01. I would like to know which version of Firefox was the last version that doesn't constantly ask me to update Firefox, and send me to that download site. I plan to stay with that version forever because: 1) you guys can't seem to leave my ad ons alone, and you won't give me the option to update Firefox when I want to without constantly being reminded to update, and you won't provide the option to turn the reminder off. I'm swearing at the top of my lungs right now for the fourth time. You guys work hard at improving everyone else's experience in areas I care nothing about, But for us who spend hours reviewing ad ons to make our lives easier and for ad on you approved, you screw with us instead for some unknown reason. I really wish some of you experts would start up another Browser and allow us to impart chosen ad ons as a default part of the browser that programmers can't mess with. It's but a dream.

This is *not* about the addons-meggadon from May. Like everyone else, I experienced that, I "enabled studies" at the time, and everything was fixed.
When starting Firefox yesterday (September 18 I believe), it opened with all my bookmarks gone, all my browsing history vanished, and my most important addons disabled (adblock plus, dark reader, foxy proxy). Everything was working fine before. I did not do any manual updates, and I don't think FF did an automatic update recently (but I might not have noticed). I currently have FF 69.0.1 (64-bit)
By "browsing history" I mean when I start typing into the addressbar, it used to suggest my most commonly visited sites, now it does not.
I managed to reload the bookmarks from a backup using the normal bookmarks restore feature. The browsing history is not a big deal (but does seem to indicate that some serious reset took place).
The addons are key to me, I really want to fix this. They are still listed in the add-ons manager, but are marked as "disabled". There is no enable button.
At first I thought it was a reprise of the old problem from May 2019.
So I double-checked: studies are enabled, and I can see completed studies that seem to indicate the fix was done.
Based on an old post here from rcr1959 I tried going to about:config and setting extensions.signer.hotfixed to false. This didn't resolve the problem, so I put it back to true (i.e., how I found it).
There was some suggestions that a master password might cause problems, or profiles. I don't use a master password, and have never set up a profile. Under about:profiles, I see "Profile: default" and no others. There is an option to "Restart with Add-ons disabled" and another to "Restart normally". I tried the second one; it restarted fine but the add-ons are still disabled.

Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use microphone in Gmail Hangouts https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox . I have it set to "Allow". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox When a call comes in or I try to make one it does not have the check mark box "Always Allow" on the little pop up window as I have seen before. I can set it to always allow by right clicking the chat window and page info, yet it keeps on asking for permission to use. -- It DOES show as being allowed both in the list in Options and when you check the page Info.
I thought maybe it has something to do with Flash ending, but when I use Hangouts on the Hangouts page: https://hangouts.google.com/ it works fine. And yes, I have removed all cookies and cache several times. Another thing I noticed is that you can't add any pages manually in the options. Not sure if that is related. Note that I use Firefox and Windows 7 .
Been searching for an answer since this started over a month ago. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello. I've been struggling to figure out how to get the address bar and tabs to hide when in fullscreen mode on my Mac. At first, I thought this was just the default setting, but after browsing other Community posts and discussions on Reddit and such, I began to suspect those are supposed to hide by default, but are not in my case.
Please see the photo attached for what I mean—the tabs and address bar never go away, if they are supposed to, regardless of whether I have a new tab or a webpage open.
I tried Firefox with all my add-ons turned off, because some posts suggested they can prevent auto-hiding. I have looked for CSS solutions and extensions which could help, but I am utterly frustrated. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Why can't I leave a review on the add-on that I have installed even after having logged in?

I don't like MSExplorer or Bing. I've set Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (64bit) as my default browser with search results from Google.
When I type a search in the 'Type here to search' window, MS Explorer opens with a Bing search result.
How do I get the thing to stop opening Explorer and simply open FF?

I am trying to install above mentioned Firefox version in a Terminal Server environment. How can I set a specific download folder/path as permanent location for downloading a file from the internet for all terminal user profiles. I would like to accomplish this with autoconfig.js or per user.js profile. Or is there a specific registry I can set in regedit for Firefox and where?
You help is much appreciated :) I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Firefox 69.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.
Web applications (such as Hangouts) that have an option to select a different sound output do not work. All that is available is "System Default Speaker Device". This means I cannot use my headset for instance, and also means that other web pages cannot route sound however I want it.
Is this a Firefox bug or are there some hidden options to use sound devices?
