How do I reset my account data?

more options

If I go on any website using OSM data (including OpenStreetMap itself) on Firefox logged into my account, I experience a lot of slowdown. This doesn't happen when I use incognito mode or when I use another browser, so I'm pretty sure there's some kind of cache or something that's connected to my Mozilla account that slows down OSM massively. I've tried clearing all cache and all cookies. I've even refreshed Firefox using the installer and it's still slow. I don't want to bother with deleting my account and creating a new one. What should I do to try and return back to normalcy on OSM?

This right here would indicate you got something installed on the browser that is causing the slow down. As you said it works in PM mode would mean your Addon/Extension is causing the issue. This would mean to disable all Addons and to turn them on/off at a time and restart Firefox browser and go to the same site and see if that doesn't affect that same site again and then go to the next Addon til the offending Addon is found and then remove it and or find another that work to replace it. Mozilla login will not cause what your describing for slow down as openstreet map isn't Mozilla.
