Hello and thank you I only have one button at the bottom of the options page, in all categories like security or advanced etc. Used to be the three, ok,cancel and help. Now just one with a "?" on it. Is this just a change in v.38? Just hoping I don't have some malware changing things around! Been there done that! Thanks again.

Hi, don't worry! Options now opens in a tab, and changes are saved automatically. You can close it by clicking on the 'x' Close Tab as you would any other tab.

If you really don't like it, you can go back to the old Options window by: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.preferences.inContent and double click to change 'Value' from True to False, taking care not to alter anything else. You may then need to restart Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
