Refresh Mozilla Firefox
On Windows OS
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.
What does the refresh feature do?
All
of your Firefox settings and personal information are stored in a profile
folder. The refresh feature works by creating a new profile folder for you
while saving your important data.
Add-ons
which are normally stored inside the Firefox profile folder, such as extensions
and themes, will be removed. Add-ons stored in other locations, such as
plugins, will not be removed but any modified preferences (such as plugins you
have disabled) will be reset.
Firefox will save these items:
- Bookmarks
- Browsing and download history
- Passwords
- Open windows and tabs
- Cookies
- Web form auto-fill information
- Personal dictionary
These items and settings will be removed:
Extensions and themes, website permissions, modified preferences, added search
engines, DOM storage, security certificate and device settings, download
actions, plugin settings, toolbar customizations, user styles and social
features will be removed.
Please, take help first,
and then do it now.
