Note that any configuration changes you may have made will be lost. If it doesn't fix things, delete the new .mozilla folder that will have been created, and restore the old one to its original name.

Hello Chris
now I have started to follow your advice. Thank you for giving these details.
As I mentioned before I did remove all partitions including the 'home', however had to make many tries for re-installation and did not in every run remove all partitions.
I did not find a .mozilla file. btw should it be named .mozilla or .mozilla. ? I had checked for hidden files.
I did find a hidden .mozilla folder under /home/[username]/ Is that what you mean?
You have mentioned a new and an old version of .mozilla folder. Do you mean after and before upgrade? The system is upgraded now. So my understanding is that I have no access to the old version ... unless I do another complete installation of mx-linux, save the old version, do the upgrade and then do the delete of the new version and the restore of the old .mozilla folder.
Is my understanding correct?
Stephan
