Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

Note: This will cause you to lose any extensions and some preferences.
  • Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.


For Firefox versions previous to 29.0 follow these steps to reset Firefox:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the Button reset button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window including important information. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

For further information please read Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.
