Not able to change desktop background photo since today's Firefox update

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.

Sorry I took so long to reply. I have trouble finding where I can actually post a question and find the answer. I used the wrong word to describe the question. It was about changing the background on Firefox. I eventually figured it out. Now Firefox won't work in anything other than troubleshooting mode. I just posted a long question about that - here in Help.

Hello,

Could you please clarify, do you mean your desktop or Firefox New Tab page? A screenshot is also appreciated.
