Firefox recently updated itself on my laptop. Now when I ask for R help --- e.g. ?plot --- I just get my home page. And no help. If I do "?plot" again after Firefox has opened its window, I just get yet another Firefox window, opened to my home page. (I have my preferences set to

    "When Firefox starts Show my homepage"

--- as I always have had in the past.)

The Firefox that I am currently running is (according Firefox help
--> "About Firefox") is version 36.0.

Can anyone suggest to me how I can get my html R help back?

For what it's worth: I am using Linux, Fedora 17. (Yes, I know it's elderly, but then so am I. :-) )

Also in case it has any relevance:
