I evidently made a mistake by clicking on the "Refresh FF" button featured here on their site! It's running worse now, than it was before I refreshed it!! And all my saved bookmarks are gone..EVERYTHING is gone!! Nothing like having to start all over, after having FF forever!! What is wrong with this company that they can't explain things better so that computer illiterate people like myself, can understand?? So, now not only do I have to start all over saving things in my bookmarks, I have to put up with slow, sluggish, and delayed reactions! I could just kick myself in the butt for clicking on something I know nothing about!! I guess if I don't get any help with this, like I didn't get any help with my last two questions, then it's bye bye to Mozilla!

Refresh Firefox {web link} is a LAST RESORT ! !

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?
