  1. Check your desktop for the Old Firefox data folder
  2. Go to about:profiles to see if you have one profile or more.

You will always use some personal data if you use the Firefox refresh feature.

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile as an easy test whether your current profile is causing the problem as in this case you can easily switch between the profiles where with a refresh the profile is moved to the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
