new Firefox 70.0 update breaks Firefox

The recently updated Firefox 70.0 has problems rendering many web sites. Clicking on links sometimes doesn't take you to the desired web location. This has to do with a new Firefox design having to do with "storage".

After much testing, I've come up with this solution...

  • in Firefox 70.0, go to about:profiles
  • note which profile is the current, in use, profile
  • for the Root Directory click the Open Directory button
  • quit Firefox
  • move the storage folder out to another location
  • restart Firefox, it'll rebuild this folder automatically
  • try the web site that was giving you problems and see if it's working now

Update #1:

Pending release of Firefox 70.0.1 is also supposed to resolve the problem.
