Hi,
I was unable to reproduce this issue on my end, I tried on Windows 10, with Firefox Nightly version 74.0a1 (2020-01-27) (64-bit).
Does this issue occur with a fresh profile as well? You can find 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
You can also try testing if the issue is reproducible in safe mode, here is a link that can help you:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
If after doing this you can still reproduce the bug, would you send a screenshot or a video of the bug?
Thanks in advance. I've already chosen a component for this bug in hope that someone with more expertise may look at it. We'll await their answer.
Regards,
Jerónimo.
I followed the instructions to add a new profile. This seemed to work I didn't get the server not found alert however, my bookmarks were gone along with my two add ins (ghostery and last pass). I have attached a screen shot.

It sounds like bug 1612027.
Could you check in your original profile if setting the network.trr.mode pref to 0 fixes the issue?
The only place that I find network.trr.mode is in a file called Prefs.js. If I edit that file using Notepad I can change the setting from 2 to zero. When I exit Notepad I save the file but, it changes back to 2. I searched the registry but it has no file named network.trr.mode.

Oh, please change it in about:config
I think that should be enough.
Changing it in about:config seems to have fixed the problem. It was 2 and I changed it to zero. How did it get set to 2 in the first place?

Good to know. You probably enabled it from about:preferences > Connection Settings
Or maybe you did it a long time ago and forgot. In any case, since you are on nightly, it seems to be caused by bug 1610836 which is now fixed.
