update to version 74 gives me blank screens and shortcuts in wrong place

more options

Instead of having my bookmarks under the toolbar, it's along the left side. I have many things in chrome.css, like one that gives me 4 rows of bookmarks, but on the side, it's only one. If I click on one of the ones I can see, it does go to the website, as I can see the correct url in the address bar. However, everything is blank. Even about:config is blank. Safe mode works, but of course doesn't give me my bookmarks or anything else. The extensions that Safe Mode says are disabled are: Amazon Assistant for Firefox, Dashlane, and New Tab Override. Do you need the things from chrome.css to help me troubleshoot? I can't keep using Safe Mode, don't care for Chrome, and refuse to use IE.

I hadn't thought that https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/chrome/multi-row_bookmarks.css would work as I didn't think it was complete. It's only half the size of the previous one I had. But it worked. I modified the number of rows, and the size of margins, and it now works the way I wanted.

Hi KathrynBassett, could you turn off the Bookmarks Toolbar temporarily until you can fix your userChrome.css code? Here's how:

  • tap the Alt key or F10 key to activate the Menu Bar at the top
  • View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar

Setting aside the issue of not having quick access to your Bookmarks Toolbar, is browsing normal again?

For updated multi-line bookmarks toolbar code for your userChrome.css file, please see the following thread on Reddit:

Yes, should have thought of that for first thing to do for troubleshooting. No more blank screen.

Problem: Near as I can tell on that thread is that you have to strip the "title" and only leave the icons. That won't work for me as I need my titles. Am I missing something? Here are copies of my userChrome and the bookmarks css it calls.

I don't see that. The first link in the discussion ("This appears to work still") leads to these rules:
