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.
