Firefox questions... - RAMd®d - 10-04-2018

I'm currently using Firefox 57.0.4 on OS X 10.9.5, as a secondary browser, to check sites when Safari gives me a 'can't access...' response.

'Out of Date' tells me to update to Firefox 62.0.3, but that may be more than Mavs can bear. What's the latest compatible version? According to their site, it's 52.x.x. ?!

Can I disable Javascript within Firefox? I don't see an option as with Safari.

Can I save a series of four or five tabs so when Firefox is launched, it opens with those tabs already enabled?


I have to say I don't like the look of Firefox one bit. (LOL).

-Yes, there are many add-ons that do it in a variety of ways. I'm using 'NoScript'

-You can have ff open the windows that are present when you quit.

You need an extension like Greasemonkey

There are multiple ways to do this. hal mentioned one. I think you can set your startup page as a folder of bookmarks that all open by editing your preferences, but I haven't experimented with doing that for more than a single page.
