Firefox wiped out -- no history, bookmarks, etc. Trying to reset it all.

1. Upper left corner, next to icon, page name is too small to read (desktop toolbar on ottom is the same)

2. Bookmarks below address bar are too close together. See below. How to fix

     gMail Firefox Google

Thank you

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Did you try to reboot the computer?

It was a fresh boot as I shut it down daily. I'm not on my Win laptop but am on iPad. Tomorrow I'll do a screenshot and post it.

I did a Windows update Thursday and today was the first use since then. Every setting is different from desktop photo, font sizes, wipeout of Firefox, to all icons but ten gone. About twenty disappeared. Still have a ton of programs to run and check.

I've never had this happen and I began with a Windows 3.01 back in the eighties or early nineties. If Windows was corrupted, why would Firefox change settings? I didn't upgrade it ; still on. 28.0

Today I booted to find ALL back the way it was. Fonts, bookmarks, etc. and other programs are back to normal.

I haven't a clue how this happened.
