After a while, Firefox browser might tend to encounter
issues like slowdown, errors, sudden crashes, unwanted toolbars, etc. making it
difficult to enjoy a clean, safe and faster browsing environment. Luckily,
Mozilla has finally coped up with this problem by introducing a smart and easy
way to Reset Firefox in the latest beta version of Firefox. Firefox
13 Beta with new ‘Reset’ feature offers the ability to restore Firefox to its
default factory state without re-installing and while saving your essential
information.
Certainly, this is a great addition
to Firefox as users would now be able to fix most issues simply by resetting
and without requiring any type of manual troubleshooting. Resetting doesn’t
hard reset the browser, it works by creating a new profile folder while
preserving your Bookmarks, Browsing history, Passwords, Cookies, and form
auto-fill information. To make the restoration seamless and effective, Firefox
does not saves your extensions/ add-ons, themes, open tabs/windows, tab groups,
download history, and more.
To
reset Firefox to its default configuration, click on the Firefox
button located at top-left corner, open the Help sub-menu and select
‘Troubleshooting Information’. Then click on the ‘Reset Firefox’ button, a
confirmation window will appear, tap to continue. Upon resetting, Firefox will
list the information imported. Click Finish to open!
Note: The ‘Reset Button’ is currently available in Firefox 13
Beta. If you’re looking to reset preferences on current stable build of
Firefox, then follow this guide by Mozilla.
