Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks for the hint, cor-el , but problem persisted even with all Add-ons disabled. But after some 8 days and several O.S. reboots, the problem disappeared . No action was taken, I suppose that it was some bug that the developers corrected. Issue solved.
