I have already installed a new firefox browser and the problem remains. I also did a virus update and scanned the computer no viruses found. I don't know what happened but I noticed half of the bookmarks I had in my bookmark list is gone and there is something there that doesn't belong at all. It's like a news thing it keeps reporting the news and I can't delete it it won't let me. Help me out here please. I would appreciate if you could get my bookmarks back too. Thanks.

Actual Results:

It should have listed all my bookmarks and be able to let me get rid of that annoying news reporting bookmark.

you didn't tell us which version were you using before the update.
also, do you see the same in safe mode?
is the news item called "latest news"?
