Hi,

did anyone else experienced a lot of problems after the latest update (149.0) has installed? I'm having a lot of trouble now:

1. The "New Tab" doesn't work at all, clicking on the plus does nothing, pressing ctrl + t does nothing aswell. 2. The search bar on home page doesn't work, I can't type anything in it 3. I tried to access settings, but the menu looks like on attached screenshot. I clicked on a spot where settings supposed to be, and nothing happened. Furthermore, all the menus look like this, they're simply empty, without any text. 4. Reinstalling didn't help. I want to try not to uninstall Firefox entirelly, because I don't want to risk losing all the saved bookmarks, history, passwords, etc. 5. So far I've experienced these problems on one computer, on the other everything looks fine, so it doesn't seem to be a global problem 6. Any ideas, apart from removing the browser and trying a fresh installation?

The Firefox update of 25 March has obliterated the previous settings I created.

As a lady approaching 80, I am very disappointed, frustrated and annoyed that the settings I laboriously created have been obliterated by this latest update.

So far, it is apparent that areas concerned are the appearance of the screen - location of bookmarks list, font size, task bar and menu bar displays, items included in the tool bar. My chosen browser is DuckDuck but Bing was reinstated. No doubt, further unwanted modifications to the way I wish Firefox to operate have been loaded.

Can this situation be easily corrected or would deinstalling this latest update and reverting to the previous edition of Firefox return my chosen settings to me?

May I say that I am not a computer "nerd" and am unfamiliar with much computer terminology and would, therefore, be grateful for any instructions to be phased in simple terms.
