Firefox and Thunderbird issues. I am using Firefox v. 133.0.3 (64 bit) on Win 10 I have 2 default files: C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bwa3b8cx.default-1520739811795 with 1,114 items C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\kfjgip7d.default with 55 items When I open Firefox I land on “Welcome to Firefox” and a second tab “Firefox Privacy NoticeꟷMozilla” appears. Sometimes two windows (2 versions) of Firefox open, both on the default Firefox screen. I have repeatedly tried to change the home screen. This works until I close Firefox. Upon restart the home page is gone and I revert to the default Firefox page. In Thunderbird I am using I have one Profile C:\Users\NewMain\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\n7m9uw0t.default with 131 items. As with Firefox two windows open when I start Thunderbird. Currently one window has only my inbox. The other window opens with two tabs: Inbox and Account Settings. I no longer see the local folders I was using before things went awry. Questions: 1. How do I get Firefox to open one window and land on my desired home page? 2. How do I restore the saved passwords? 3. How do I get Thunderbird to open only once and on my inbox 4. How can I restore my “lost” local folders? I have looked at a number of FAQs and haven’t been able to suss out a cure. Also, it seems that both programs started having problems at the same time. Any help you can provide will be appreciated. R. Stober
