So, I followed the mozilla instruction list I found and the 4th choice was to uninstall and resintall (5th would be a refresh, whihc seems out of order but I followed the list). It assure dme that i would n ot lose my bookmarks, etc, by doing this but now that i have reinstalled, it is warning me: "This installation of Firefox has a new profile" whihc makes me worry that i will lose all that stuff i want to keep. Please help before i chose the wrong option. Thanks much! Dean

I don't believe so. I thought it said it was version 37 or so! In any event, as I just posted, I was able to redirect it to my old profile with a little more research. Thanks.

Did you downgrade Firefox ?

The current Firefox release is 74.0.1 and 75.0 is scheduled to be release in a few days.
