This task is not actionable as there are zero hints what's obsolete. Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html - thanks!

Also, which "forum postings" in which forum?

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

I'm going to assume by "forum" you mean the Mozilla support forums. Also, per comment 1, please specify what is obsolete.
Here is an example;
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1340550
Q; Command line options to Firefox
I had that link in my files. But when I checked, I found a dead page.
I then did a web search and found many links.
Many of them were old. Some of them very old. See;
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1340550#answer-1442604
This matter was discussed in the reporter's thread here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1350455. I wonder what more should be said about this to put it to rest.
