I think you nailed it! Got what you want. Now save everything you did, cause you just know the next FF update will put it all back! :)

Thanks. I used to use classic shell with Win 8.1 and at first with Win 10 but then switched to all Win 10 menu. Great program. Maybe I will check that out again.

Does the icon/tile that firefox 57 creates in Windows 10 start menu have a black background? Is it supposed to be like that? Can it be changed?

It's black on my Surface Pro 2017.

I note that the problem is solved (well done) but just for information purposes: A program called TileIconifier can change the background colour of most tiles in the Start Menu. The Firefox icon is already large in the tile. I like icons to fill the tiles where possible and that's why I use the program. It can also make small icons fill the tile. Here is the Firefox icon (just chose a random colour to show what can be done):

How can you download flash videos from websites using the new Firefox?

My old Firefox extensions for downloading videos doesn't work anymore...

If you look at the New AMO there are extensions that will do that, you also may want to check your flash settings in Plugins:
