I normally use Firefox 52.6.0 , the latest stable version. |

A few weeks ago, for no apparent reason, it suddenly lost some functions : |
4 |
the Red Cross (recall most recent item) disappeared from the toolbar, |
5 |
the session manager disappeared altogether, the items in the tab organiser |
6 |
couldn't show the title of the items when moused over, |
7 |
but only a small empty outline box instead. |
8 |
I tried remerging FF & restarting it, but that made no difference. |

Equally suddenly today, it all reappeared as before : what was going on ? |

|
12 |
Yesterday, I happened to notice a ghost item in one of my desktops, |
13 |
visible in my KDE panel & hidden under the Konsole running there. |
14 |
It turned out to be the FF previous-sessions' box |
15 |
& the date of the latest available session showed it was some weeks ago. |
16 |
It was after I closed that box that FF returned to normal. |

18 |
I was about to ask for advice here, but instead am recording the facts |
19 |
in case they help someone else. Comments welcome. |
