How can I identify the cause of the problem ?

mv ~/.mozilla mozilla-old firefox

See what happens.

It now works, Thank You.

(1) renamed the directory. (2) yum upgrade firefox = 31.5.3 (3) started Firefox and got a horrible nightmare - ugly tabs, no menu bar and all my familiar settings gone. It was a real devastating and emotional shock. It prompted me to do a backup ! (4) closed Firefox (5) renamed the new directory *-crap (6) restored the previous directory (7) restarted Firefox and everything was familiar and wonderful again.

Thanks for your very effective solution.
