Since installing FF 57 on windows 10 the colour of the menu bar and tabs randomly changes. I have personas plus installed but can't see that it's set to random.

Hello,

The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.

To Refresh Firefox:

  1. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    • If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
  2. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
  3. Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Personas Plus includes a theme rotate feature, so you will have to disable this feature or uninstall this extension.

Even more fun is the ability for Personas Plus to automatically rotate your themes. If you select, for example, "Random Selection from Abstract" on the "Abstract" Personas menu, Personas Plus will randomly select a new theme from that list. This works with any selection of Personas, including your favorites!

Did you restart Firefox ? Do you have the same thing going on in Windows a Theme and it changes ? As we have found that that will contribute to colour changes also.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

No, appears to be unique to FF. Only happened after I upgraded. However, I ran thye beta until the new release came out. I use Thunderbird mail and it's OK.
