Hi, if you are using an add-on such as New Tab Tools, that is an unfortunate consequence of the migration to WebExtensions and is a known issue, which hopefully will be fixed in Firefox 57 - scheduled for release 14th Nov. There is nothing you can do yourself - I'm seeing the same thing!

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

Not for 10days is what he is saying. Though I think the issue is up to the Developer to fix but prob will say is fixed in FF 57.

Note : Firefox 57 Quantum release date Nov 14th https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/ Note : Legacy Extensions will be disabled and or removed.

Hi again, you appear to have posted the same question on Mozillazine and Reddit. As I said, there is no fix at the moment. This is the developer's issues page https://github.com/darktrojan/newtabtools/issues/312

Note: 'My address bar is filled with all these letters and numbers

Cause: Firefox is stupid. Solution: Wait for Firefox 57.'

If you aren't happy with that, I suggest you contact the developer.

Ah common, you've been getting replies on MozillaZine as well, but you simply refuse to answer any questions, follow suggestions or take advice
that you've been given .......

We really, really want to help you, but you're not making it very easy.
