Firefox change theme and startpage on startup

∑ LEX∝REX ∑

Today firefox changes theme and startpage everytime i startup, i have tried resync theme and settings, and turn off sync, and try remove startcash, and tried falesafe start, still the same.. and now i saw that firefox color addon was enabled by startup also.. should have something to do with the new update? The problem seems to be solved, perhaps it was firefox color being enabled by startup..

Hi LEX∝REX,

Thanks for the update. If the problem stopped after you noticed Firefox Color was being enabled at startup, that is a useful clue. Firefox Color can change the browser's theme, and an extension being re-enabled or applying its settings during startup could explain why the theme and start page appeared to change each time.

If the problem comes back, I would check whether Firefox Color is enabled again and whether disabling it prevents the changes. If it does, we can then look at why the extension is being re-enabled rather than changing Firefox's settings themselves.

Thanks for documenting what fixed it.
