I currently have the problem that instead of the design shown here: https://prod-cdn.sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/gallery/images/2017-11-02-18-07-48-12672e.png My adress bar looks plain and does not show the "thumbnail" of the tab, nor does it show the full URL of the site recommended. This is how it looks now: https://imgur.com/a/JLNiHvv https://imgur.com/a/9IQnzsE

To my knowledge, i did not change any settings or install any new plugins etc, the only thing that might have impacted it was having my antivirus delete a suspicious file from: \Firefox\Profiles\[my profile]\cache2\entries\ which showed the pattern of "PUA/CryptoMiner.Gen" according to Avira.

I am using Firefox Quantum v60.0.1 and it is updated. OS is Win 10 64bit.

hi, this will be due to one of the custom userstyles you're applying through the userchrome.css file within the chrome-subdirectory of your user profile. please update it or remove those customisations that are breaking the new firefox version.

Anything found in Cache is harmless if left alone for it to be overwritten or if deleted. Firefox cache file was infected with a virus article link

Thanks! This was the solution, I am using the .css modifications from the "old theme restorer" and updating those fixed it.

Ah, thanks. I had ran a full scan of the system after the alert and it seems clean, thanks for confirmation.
