I'd downloaded an app on my pc which then overtook my default Mozilla start up page - I refreshed Mozilla according to instructions and have now lost my toolbar with all my personal links and bookmarks - I want to restore it to as it was. I'd go from Mozilla up to my toolbar to a link to yahoo, facebook, ebay etc and meanwhile all my links remained visible and it was my choice... need it restored please!

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?

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply - as often happens by stumbling through a series of right clicks etc on the 'blank' toolbar I managed to restore my 'old' one with its various links... on with some work now!
