Hi ChrisG, recently there is a notification icon that appears occasionally; it looks like a gift box. Usually after you click it once to show its drop-down, it goes away. Does yours linger?

Grr, arg! I just wrote a wonderful paragraph, then clicked on 'choose solution,' which made all my words disappear!!! Humph!

Basically, first two clicks opened a new tab and sent me to a page which was not listed under History so was a local page? Third click after your helpful post produced the dropdown which disappeared with the icon when I clicked elsewhere. [but, If I wanted one of those options, it's gone now, as the list of items is gone too. I don't want any of them, so no problem for me.]

Thank you jscher2000.

Note that this What's New item also can be found in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
