Firefox 94 cannibalized my home page!

Had to shut down Firefox because it was not working properly. Restarted it and it said it was installing updates, please wait. Then it started and had a popup something about colour-something. No introduction to what that is, no idea what it's talking about. Clear out of that and then it's just a plain Firefox logo with a Google search bar in the middle of the screen. Very weird, since Firefox loves to tell me all about the new stuff they added/changed/messed with. But nothing, just this search bar. Whatever, I go about my business. Then I hit the Home icon and it's back to that search bar. WHERE IS MY HOME PAGE?! Why would you overwrite my home page? SO RUDE! Just wondering what other relied-upon-settings you reset.

Mine did the very same thing and I had to reset my Homepage back to what I had in settings.

It is possible that you selected one of the Colorways themes that are included in Firefox 94. You can select another theme like the default system theme via "Add-ons and Themes" (Ctrl+Shift+A).

No idea what that Colourways stuff is. No introduction, no explanation, just a popup requiring me to select something. Not sure the wording of the options presented, but clicking through to Themes I see that what is Enabled is System theme-auto.
