Firefox doesn't start at all. I run the latest version on the latest version of Windows 10. I made some researches and apparently the only solution is reinstall firefox. but doing this, do i lose my cookies?

No. The Firefox full installers will overwrite your current Firefox.


Firefox comes in two or more folders on all computers. They are;

Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And two folders in the profile of each user on the computer for each Firefox profile for that user.

If you remove the Firefox folder, the user folders would not be affected.
