i do the following but still get the message java scripts do not work

Mozilla Firefox 45.x and above (PC):

   Please ensure that your copy of Firefox is up to date.
   Click the Firefox drop-down menu or, if using the Menu Bar, continue to Step 2.
   Expand the Help menu and then select About Firefox within it.
   Firefox should now automatically check for updates and prompt you to restart it when finished.
   Once Firefox restarts, JavaScript should be enabled.

I'm using a Windows/Linux client called WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I've installed Debian as my WSL OS and for a long time I had Debian version 10. Firefox worked fine with ver 10 but this morning I upgraded to Debian version 13 (which required me to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox).

Firefox still launches okay but I wanted to change my home page to Google. So I clicked the 3 lines at the top RHS which showed me a popup menu but none of the options was selectable. Eventually I twigged that to change settings I needed to launch Firefox using sudo.

I managed to change the home page okay but I then realised that if I launch Firefox without using sudo, my new home page is ignored. Conversely (if I launch using sudo again) Firefox launches at a tiny size and can't be re-sized (at least, not using my mouse cursor). I've attached a small screenshot.

All I can do is to display it full screen and then I can tell that the home page is indeed now Google. I don't remember having these problems previously so can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong??

After browsing the internet, i find new stuff on my screen. Then I have to spend time deleting all the shortcuts I don't want. I have the home screen set the way I want it and don't want it to arbitrarily add short cuts I don't want or need. I hate it when it messes up what I have set.

Everytime I close firefox I lose all my tabs and history gets erased. This just started once I created an account. I tried changing the startup options, logging out and logging in, google searches, nothing works so far.

Greetings...

I have read the Refresh Firefox instructions that appear in the "Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings" Firefox support webpage, including the "saved items" and "removed items" section.

Over time, I have made a number of changes in the "about:config" section of my Firefox browser.

Q: Would a Refresh of my Firefox browser affect any of these "about:config" changes?

Q: Is there a way that I can create a list of all "about:changes" that I have made?

Please advise. Thank you very much for your assistance!

adding functionality for a live genie in the box assistant to do settings by a question alone with some prompts if needed like to have same basic settings and add ons with their settings from all web borwsers used

Seit dem letzten update kann ist das application menu in english(usa) nicht mehr in deutsch. Ich habe versucht das Sprachpaket in deutsch zu installieren, ohne Erfolg. Auch sind meine Add ons verschwunden. Ärgerlich. Will Firefox, dass ich zu einem anderen Browser wechsel? Ich glaube nicht.

Please return my homescreen to my settings. I use the toolbar constantly and now I cannot even find it. Do not help me anymore.!!!!!! I need my toolbar and get rid of the garbage you put on my page.

I was using the weather, clock and image of the day widgets. Yesterday they were on my start and now they are missing. When I look under settings and home, widgets are not listed. How can I get them back?
