Windows 10. Upgraded, as recommended by Mozilla, to FF 73. Disastrous. Not one web page will load, including any involving Firefox; thus, suggestions to do blah blah via about:config, or ANYTHING ELSE INVOLVING ACCESSING A FIREFOX WEBPAGE is worthless, since Firefox 73 will not load any web page. I uninstalled. Installed 73. No help. I now have "Old Firefox Data" on desktop, but it is useless, since requires pasting to something in Firefox 73. What a diabolical Catch 22 or 23 or something.
