at about:support there is no option to reset firefox to it's default state. this option should be available in the upper right hand portion of the screen on this page.

When I restarted firefox in safe mode the only option on the dialog box was to start firefox in safe mode, there was no option to reset firefox. This option should be contained in said dialog box.

Is a deliberate change for firefox 32? Has my client has been altered in this respect? Is there another way to reset firefox to it's default state? If removal and re-instillation of my client becomes necessary, what will the easiest way to preserve my bookmarks be(is there an automatic feature or will I be manually copying them from my preferences folder)?

That's strange. You posted using Waterfox, but the following comment may apply to both Firefox and Waterfox.

When you start Firefox in a non-default profile (for example, using a command-line argument), then Reset is not available.

Does that sound like it could be applicable to you?

I just tested your theory, and unfortunately it was incorrect. I started with the default profile out of the profile manager just to be sure, and still no dice. I may need to consult the waterfox team to see if this is due to some change made in waterfox.(and yes, I am using waterfox)

You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file. If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the Reset button in Firefox.

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing your problem.

See "Creating a profile":

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