Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. As a troubleshooting step, try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See <a href="/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles" rel="nofollow">Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles</a>.

<p>Thank you. This sounds good. It never happened on my old 2010 MacBook Pro, and it wouldn't be the only issue that has caused problems since I set up the new Mac from an old, pre-Mojave backup. Is there a way to restore Firefox to factory settings and keep passwords? Refreshing Firefox doesn't seem to do it; and setting up a test profile sounds quite complex.
