Do you see the Find bar (Ctrl F) or the Add-ons bar (Ctrl /) if you open them?

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.

If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Did not help: started in Safe Mode, tried to go to themes but all themes are disabled in Save Mode.

Tried Ctrl-F on two separate pages - still disabled.
