You know what this means, right? You\u2019ll have to say goodbye to the browser setup\u00a0you have painstakingly built and set up Firefox from scratch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That means installing themes and extensions, configuring Firefox\u2019s behavior, and tweaking site-specific preferences\u00a0again. Firefox does try to keep your history, bookmarks, cookies, and form data intact through the reset though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #313131;text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit\">We recommend saving the reset option as your last resort.<\/strong>\u00a0If you need to troubleshoot, try starting with Firefox\u2019s Safe Mode first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #313131;text-align: justify\">The Safe Mode option restarts Firefox with the add-ons disabled and certain settings turned off, making it easier to\u00a0pinpoint rogue extensions and settings by turning them on one by one and observing\u00a0what\u2019s different about Firefox\u2019s behavior in the normal and safe modes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #313131;text-align: justify\">Refreshing Firefox can be quite convenient if you want to fix browser performance, go back from your experimental Firefox changes, reverse the changes made by sneaky toolbars, etc. But\u00a0do not take it lightly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as \u00a0rebooting a computer fixes many issues, resetting your browser to its default settings can help fix several problems.
