Suddenly firefox has a different user interface. How do I get the old one back?

When I opened Firefox I received a "news message" that makes no sense to me. How can I revert Firefox to its former usefulness? There is something about the former installation of Firefox being undisturbed, but I cannot find that installation. Apparently this has something to do with sync-ing my desktop Firefox with other installations -- I've less than zero interest in sync-ing.

What happened to the bookmarks I had stored in the bookmark bar? How do I get those back?

Hi, if you don't use Sync you can turn it off: Remove a synced device from your Mozilla account.

It's possible that for some reason Firefox has created a new empty Profile; to use your original one please see Recover user data missing after Firefox update

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please help other users by marking the best reply as Solved. Thank you!
