Today when I opened my browser, my shortcuts were replaced with Chinese ones. How did this happen and where did my old ones go?

My laptop was sleeping, and not restarted. I had reopened my firefox.

These Chinese ones do not show in my list of shortcuts. (pictures below)

I do not use Chinese language sites

Malware scan turning up nothing (yet)

What is the best way to restore my shortcuts and make sure random ones do not come back.

Cheers!
