Today when I opened my browser, my shortcuts were replaced with Chinese ones. How did this happen and where did my old ones go?

My laptop was sleeping, and not restarted. I had reopened my firefox.

These Chinese ones do not show in my list of shortcuts. (pictures below)

I do not use Chinese language sites

Malware scan turning up nothing (yet)

What is the best way to restore my shortcuts and make sure random ones do not come back.

Cheers!

Change browser.search.region to US in about:config then restart the browser.
