After updating my Firefox to 61.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 the new pages are simply blank instead of showing recent activity as before. So I tried to change this behavior on Preferences > Home but all options are gone there as well. See this picture:

I have a Ubuntu/Windows dual-install, so I checked the same profile on Firefox 61.0 under Windows 10. No problem at all:

That means that the information is still in the profile but ignored by the latest Firefox update on Ubuntu. Any ideas how to change the behavior on Linux?

hi, this was a known issue in rare cases that should be fixed in firefox 61.0.1 - please see if ubuntu is already offering the new build...
