Firefox 59.0.2 problems
I just upgraded to Firefox 59.0.2 and have encountered two problems:
1. I have a number of tabs open in the browser. I close the browser. When I reopen the browser, all the tabs are there, but Firefox only loads the tab that was selected when the browser closed. If I select a different tab, the URL is shown in the address bar, but the site is not loaded. I have to select the URL in the address bar and hit "return" in order for the site to load. This is quite frustrating when I'm using a half dozen tabs.
2. There is a site that I use that uses Flash for a chat room. Normally, I select Flash, a new window opens, Flash is loaded, then the chat rooms are loaded, and I can enter the one I want. What happens now is I select Flash, an new window opens, but flash never loads and nothing else happens.

I finally found a solution to problem #1. I selected each tab the would not load the URL automatically and loaded the URL manually. Then I closed and re-opened Firefox, and all the URL opened automatically again.
For problem #2: The link provided didn't solve the problem, however, it led me to more info on the topic of Flash plugins. I found that the plugin had not been activated. Activating it solved the problem.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi this info for Flash :
REFRESH INSTRUCTIONS Hi, please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.
