After having reset Mozilla I'm unable to restore my settings. Can you help?

Hello,

Although I get access to the Mozilla's default profile I don't know how to restore the settings to the fresh, newly reset Mozilla. That's all.
Many thanks

Hi,

One way you could try is to copy/overwrite each and every file/folder from the desktop backup folder created by the reset, into the current Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. To open the current profile folder via Firefox: Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder.

Firefox Profile Folder & Files

Thank you for your input dumdidadida!

The Support Team pointed out at that solution (in a more technical way, of course...), so I got around it earlier on. Still needs a lot of manual refining, such as in finishing the whole personalisition process. I'm awkward like that!

But yes! Many thanks. You offered couple of shortcuts that will stick with me forever.

Good to know you are back on track :) Thanks for the feedback.
