With a new tab, I get a black screen under the search bar with overlapping words of "Editor sites" & "edit" & "search". Change it how?" on the bottom.
There is also a search box that appears in the middle of the black screen. Not a regular search, but its return gave "suggestions" instead. The left bottom of the screen has like a double exposure of the aforementioned, overlapping words. If I hit the Home button I will get the Firefox search screen. But I can't pin even a normal search screen. I have no idea why this started to happen, but I think it began with the latest update to Firefox I did a few days ago. How can I get back to what used to open up with a new tab? Thank you for you help.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
