BUT firefox in admin will not remember the previous multitab session...yeah, that's a second troubling issue.

I can confirm that it is working in version 38.0.1

Thanks for your reply... when I wrote, I could not enter the site as a user but when I tried as an admin on same computer, same program i could get in... just now i tried again to get to the site as working user (not admin) and got in just fine... oh, that was frustrating - today works 3 days ago, it didn't....

Sorry, I'm not smart enough to understand what your suggesting. Your asking if I have 38.0.1 - yes- I mentioned that in the brief...

So, several reboots later, Firefox is on the job - or what ever... Thanks for your response. I appreciate your good work!
