Referring to the question 951345 (https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/951345) a solution would be to try to recover your old profile if it still exists:
- You will find your profile folder in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
- It is possible that the profiles.ini files was removed and a new default profile created.

- You can also check if you have an Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop in case a reset has occurred.

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Windows 7+ versions are hidden folders. Please follow the steps in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders to be able to see it.
Also as a suggestion it is a good practice to regularly backup you profile information as defined in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles to be able to restore it.
Hope it helps.
Note that this thread is not about Firefox on a desktop computer, but about Firefox OS on a mobile device as you can see in the question details.
cor-el I am not sure actually as it says to speed up the laptop that's why I thought of Firefox desktop instead of Firefox OS? Raulmatia could you please clarify?
