Been using Firefox since version 1 Been using Firefox on this Mac for 5 years This Firefox is fully updated There are NO new installations in months I've cleared cache, and rebooted computer several times. My homepage links work just fine. No issue there.

When I click the + for a new tab, I normally see Firefox's links and my pinned ones, and the pocket stuff. But suddenly yesterday evening, out of the blue, when I click the + for new tab, I only see the links for a half second, then the page redirects to Google. There is no time to click the links, they are gone.

Thanks for all your input. I've installed Grammalecte. I'll see how it works. After SO many years of using a limited number of extensions on Firefox, it's been an odd experience to have one go awol on me!

I'm still wondering how on Earth Licopodes has not received 100s/1000s of complaints about this. I also wonder why of all a sudden now? I left him a 2/5 review on this dictionary.

Maybe leave this discussion open until I report back on Grammalecte-fr ?

Cheers!
