Hi frank

I checked on windows 10 and i see it as an option.

Can you share a screenshot of the list where you don´t see it as default? Are you using windows7 ? windows 8 or windows 10 ?

please download Firefox Nightly from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and retest the problem.

If you still have the issue please create a new profile, you have the steps here:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

Lastly test if the issue is reproducible in safe mode, here is a link that can help you:
