Blank new tab and missing preference options in Firefox 61 for Ubuntu but not Windows
After updating my Firefox to 61.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 the new pages are simply blank instead of showing recent activity as before. So I tried to change this behavior on Preferences > Home but all options are gone there as well. See this picture:

I have a Ubuntu/Windows dual-install, so I checked the same profile on Firefox 61.0 under Windows 10. No problem at all:

That means that the information is still in the profile but ignored by the latest Firefox update on Ubuntu. Any ideas how to change the behavior on Linux?

Ah, good. Then I will simply wait for the update. Thanks for the reply.
I have this exact problem in fedora 28 even with 61.0.1. My version information:
Version : 61.0.1 Release : 3.fc28 Arch : x86_64
