Hi,

For some reason, my Firefox theme and Search box options reset themselves today. There was no issue yesterday, and I have not updated Firefox, extensions, plugins or Windows or anything else since then. Bookmarks/Top Sites are all as before, and restarting my machine and Firefox made no difference. I also over-saved the search settings file in my Firefox profile, but that has made no difference either.

Any ideas why this has happened?

Thanks!

Hi sd8974 , 

   I think that your firefox account has been updated. Can I know the version please? Is it 70.0.1or something else?

I now have v71.0 installed, but this was done on 3rd Dec, after the issue arose. Previously my latest update was v70.0.1, installed on 31 Oct.
