If I refresh Firefox will all my downloads be deleted?
I was advised to refresh Firefox as it's slow to start, but I'm concerned that all my downloads will be deleted. Is this true, as many of my downloads are very important to me.

Refreshing Firefox -- easily fix most problems
If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks and open tabs. Everything else, like user settings and add-ons, are removed. Note: Refresh saves your old profile to the desktop in a folder called Old Firefox.
