Please advise if Mozilla are working on fixing the bug where Chinese characters appear over the tabs. This has only happened since the new version install. I am aware of the official response that it's a conflict with McAfee Site Advisor, but I am not switching this off, and compromising security due to a Firefox bug. Please advise if there will be a fix, or where I can re-install the previous version of Firefox.

That is not something that Firefox needs to fix, but this has to be fixed by McAfee. New Firefox versions are available quite some time in advance (Firefox 37 is already under development), so developers of extensions for Firefox have plenty time to make sure that their software works with the next release.

Firefox comes with some built-in protection, so you are not completely unprotected. See:
