As you can see, there's a bar above the tabs in the Mozilla Browser which gives redundant information. It happened when I updated some extensions but I don't know how to remove it.
For some reason, Firefox 71.0 is not working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I updated my Firefox through apt get upgrade to 71.0 version and Firefox does not open anymore. When I try to open the browser, just a crash message appears:
I tried to downgrade to 70.0 version, but another message appears, related to my bookmarks can corrupt with the downgrade.
I would like to know if there is an option either to upgrade my Firefox and it starts to work, or downgrade to 70.0 version again and my bookmarks do not corrupt.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT 1:
Firefox 71.0 version appears when I use apt-cache show firefox | grep Version:
Version: 71.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Version: 70.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Version: 45.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1
As @guiverc explained, according to here, 70 is the latest version. I don't know how I have 71 version available.
When I use apt-cache show firefox, the following message appears:

EDIT 2:
@organic-marble asked me to use apt policy firefox to show the software source is giving me 71 version. The result is as follow:
firefox:

EDIT 3:
According to here and here, I believe Firefox 71 version is a beta version. I don't know why my Ubuntu is upgrading to a beta version.
Would someone know how could I do to stop my Ubuntu of installing beta versions?
Extensions like FireTray no longer work with the Thunderbird version 60+ . How can I run thunderbird version 60+ minimised to tray?
I run awesome-wm v4.2.
I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x system. A few applications like Firefox, Thunderbird, and Terminal lag. For example, in both Firefox and Thunderbird, whenever I right click, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the list to appear. Also, in Firefox, whenever I click on an HTML drop-down list to see the context menu, I again have to wait for a few seconds to see the list. In Terminal, right clicking works fin, but whenever I press tab twice to see the list of options or to use autocomplete, it freezes from few seconds.
Here is what I get for $ free -m

After installing Ubuntu 18.04 with a basic Gnome 3 configuration, I noticed that some applications such as Chromium and Firefox Mozilla do not show the application menu. As such, it makes it difficult to switch between windows.
As a developer, I almost always have a window with a bunch of tabs open. Then a second icognito window for testing purposes. Switching between the two is hard without the menu.
On Mac OS X, "Chrome" has File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, People, Window and Help on the main toolbar of the application.
Thanks in advance.
