Thanks FerchiogtX
That runs much better.
About backing up.
Just got the update notice to version 47 and it wouldn't install properly.
Something odd like a small popup menu with in red text about a fault in a line??
Cyberfox wouldn't start anymore.
But I copied a backup straight into the Windows program folder and yes it started the latest 46.
So there may be something fishy with version 47.
Never trust any update.

Also thanks Calender.
I have to sort your info out, since it looks quite different in my browser.
I haven't installed 47 yet. Have a look here for possible issues with 46 if previously installed.
[Released] Cyberfox 47.0 - 8pecxstudios Support Forums
Note: 47 is a major update. Personally I've experienced problems with major updates in the past including Firefox.
My preference. Turn off auto updates and check manually for new versions. Download the installer fro any new version and install straight over the top of the old version (after backing up profile)
If there are any issues do a clean install (option is available when running installer) and restore bookmarks and extensions from backed up profile.
Thanks for the tips.
I tried again to update, but this time installing a clean version of the 47.
However the same error appeared.
So I repeated the procedure to paste the backup into the program folder and 46 started without problems.
This is what the error menu showed
The first sentence means undefined entity?
XML-parsefout: ongedefinieerde entiteit
Locatie: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Regelnummer 480, kolom 6: <menuitem id="context_CopyCurrentTabUrl"

The problem is the incompatibilty of the Dutch languagepack or packs between the 46 and 47 version.
The default language English should be set, the Dutch languagepack removed.
Than update to 47 and install the languagepack from https://cyberfox.8pecxstudios.com/
The language manager tried to install from the 46 version.
After updating to 47 again installed the languagemanager.
Downloaded the right package and yes 47 started.
Now I'm curious if the browser finally will be allowed to change the default language to Dutch?
Crossed fingers. Glad I made a backup.

Yes it started in NL.
Problem solved hopefully the scrolling changes will be kept?
Yes, scrolling works perfect!

@ Bernardus
I've just seen your last couple of posts. At least it seems to be sorted. I will update later and post if there are any problems.
What do you mean by "Paste backup into program folder?"
Backups should be restored to:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios\Cyberfox\Profiles\profilename.default
so for me that is
C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\8pecxstudios\Cyberfox\Profiles\ggla2kpt.default
Nothing to do with the Program folder here:
C:\Program Files\Cyberfox
After an upgrade or fresh install C:\Program Files\Cyberfox should be overwritten with new files automatically.
The backup/ restore should only affect your profile (in AppData)
So normally you should always keep your backup in a location way from AppData or Program Files and store it somewhere else.
The program folder contained of course the Cyberfox itself.
I know that the profile is hidden under Roaming.
The language-pack is inside the Roaming Profile folder.
But the language-pack corrupted the whole program.
I had to paste the program folder back in order to restart Cyberfox 46
Afterwards I had to delete the Dutch language pack and install the right one. (after updating to 47)
The problem is that the language-pack of Mozilla is incompatible with the Cyberfox 47 version.
So there are two versions. The language manager lead me first to the wrong pack.
After installing version 47 I again loaded the language-manager with led me to another download.
Only the 8pecxstudios.com version should be used.
