Were you able to restore the toolbar Home button? Note that the Firefox developer have a way to move items on the Navigation Toolbar around, so it is possible that this button moved to a different position.

What do you mean gmail is not recognized? You can't access the website?

I have two computers; a dell desktop and a tablet, microsoft surface 3 about 5 years old or more.
Before 9/12/18 both computers recognized my Gmail acct. Now, only the desktop does. The tablet wants me to get a new password. I know you are going to say the problem is with Gmail.
If that is so, why is it that on the tablet, only Firefox is giving me trouble. Edge and Chrome recognize my Gmail acct as does my desktop with Firefox. The last update on my table with firefox was 9/12.
Is it possible that you are typing in the wrong password? What is the exact error message?
