12. Firefox updates very often if you let it (I make it ask).

Even I don't version it. One time, it did something odd and I went to mozilla and downloaded a new copy.

All my settings and extensions showed up OK, even with the replacement firefox app.

Since I've never seen this, I can't really comment. A quick web search turned up only 2024 stuff.

Try another browser? (just to test)

I use Firefox, Safari and Opera because I got them all to work with the GhostText extension, but that's another matter altogether.

Good luck with a nasty problem. Check extensions? Proxy or VPN settings?
