So the Firefox Health Report said your browser is running slow. Well, we've got a quick fix for you - Reset Firefox. Don't worry, when you reset Firefox we save all of your bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information. Here's how it works:
- Click the menu button , click and select .
- Click then in the confirmation window that opens. Firefox will close to refresh itself.
- When finished, a window will list your imported information. Click the button. Firefox will open.
- Select whether you want Firefox to restore all or some windows and tabs and click the button.
Note: There's a Refresh Firefox button in the Firefox Troubleshoot Mode window, if you can't start Firefox normally. You can also do a manual refresh by creating a new profile and transferring your important data to the new profile.
