How can I reset Firefox to its default settings?

Asked 5 months ago
Resetting Firefox to its default settings can help resolve various issues and restore the browser to its original state. To achieve this, one can follow a few simple steps. First, open Firefox and click on the menu button, which is typically represented by three horizontal lines located in the upper right corner of the window. From the dropdown menu, select "Help," and then choose "Troubleshooting Information." On the Troubleshooting Information page, you will find an option labeled "Refresh Firefox." Clicking this will prompt a confirmation window, where one can confirm the action. By selecting "Refresh Firefox," the browser will begin the reset process. This will remove extensions and custom settings but will keep bookmarks, history, and saved passwords. It is always advisable to back up important data before proceeding with a reset. For more specific guidance or additional assistance, users may refer to the support documentation available on the Mozilla website for the latest instructions and details.
