many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your
essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

Note: There's also a Reset Firefox button in the Firefox Safe Mode window, if you can't start Firefox normally.
What does the reset feature do?
All of your Firefox settings and personal information are stored in a profile folder. The reset feature works by creating a new profile folder for you while saving your important data.Add-ons normally stored inside the Firefox profile folder, such as extensions and themes, will be removed. Add-ons stored in other locations, such as plugins, will not be removed but any modified preferences (such as plugins you have disabled) will be reset.
- Bookmarks
- Browsing history
- Passwords
- Open windows, tabs and tab groups
- Cookies
- Web form auto-fill information
- Personal dictionary
- Extensions and themes, website permissions, modified preferences, added search engines, download history, DOM storage, security settings, download actions, plugin settings, toolbar customizations, user styles and social features will be removed.
Note: Your old Firefox profile will
be placed on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data." If the
reset didn't fix your problem you can restore some of the information
not saved by copying files to the new profile that was created. If you don't need this folder any longer, you should delete it as it contains sensitive information.
