Firefox on Mac has been unusable for many months. After I open just a few windows it bogs down. Resets buy me maybe a few hours. How can we get the developers to STOP ADDING FEATURES!!!! STOP REDESIGN. JUST MAKE IT WORK RIGHT! As things stand I have to use Chrome and Safari. The best has become the worst.

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, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

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

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Reset buys ne a few hours. This s jst a crippled product. Feature-itus has destroyed it.
