Reset Firefox to its Default State

Hi pals!

I wish you all a very happy new year and welcome you to this exiting world of tips and tricks. May our learning be exponential this year!

We begin this year by learning to reset Mozilla Firefox to its default state.

Now why would you do this?
Possible explanation are to get rid of Extensions and themes, website permissions, user styles and social features, download actions, plugin settings, toolbar customizations etc.
But Firefox saves certain things as well. You can get a complete list from here

So let's get started:

#1: Find the 3 horizontal lines on the Toolbar and follow the steps in screenshot:



#2: Click on Troubleshooting Information



#3: Click on the Reset Firefox button as shown below:



That's it. Once done, you will see Old Firefox Data folder on your systems' desktop


This folder will help you to restore some important old data from your old Firefox. I will talk about it in my later blogs.


Wish you a very happy new year again!

Cheers!
Vipul
