How can I restore Firefox really pre-addon settings?

I installed the add-on "Image-Show-Hide." I quickly decided that it was useless and removed. However, even after relaunch Firefox, my automatic configuration settings did not return to normal. Then I tried "Restore Defaults" through the Customize Firefox. No change. So I used the option "Refresh Firefox", as suggested in an article for help. Result, I always get the incomplete picture display - more, "registered" on my desktop Firefox profile does not seem to be accessible.

From what I can tell, a Windows system restore would not return the automatic configuration of my browser settings. I'd appreciate any help on how I can get my Firefox old back, short of completely uninstall and then reinstall the browser.

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    Hello MilaRowantree, can you try to start firefox in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key during startup of this and see if the problem occurs there too? Maybe a theme or hardware acceleration intrudes here...

    If safe mode does not work, you can try to disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general and or disable addons that could cause the problem. It would also be interesting what graphics hardware (description of the adapter, driver date and version of the driver) you use - you can access this information in firefox > help > correct information to the bottom of this page...

  • Firefox is no longer connected but internet Explorer doesn't. How can I restore firefox

    Has been using firefox for a long time. Yesterday, he disappeared and the only way I can get the East through Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Are you talking about the bookmarks bar? Try hitting CTRL + b. -What are you talking about?

  • How can I stop Firefox back to standard settings, whenever I turn off my PC?

    I have configured my favorite story of the icons, print, House etc. in the places that I like them, but whenever I turn off my PC the next day, they are in the standard set & I do once again, more than a little irritating because there has never been a problem before & past only began when I upgraded to 33.1
    Such things seem to happen whenever there is a upgrade, it got to a point where after years of use of Firefox I am seriously looking for a new default browser.

    Like to illustrate my point, when I restarted Firefox just after installing the add-on of troubleshooting all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

    Your unsaved preferences.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem

  • How can I restore my computer to factory settings so that I can give it with peace of mind about my personal information?

    I would only delete personal files.

    Hello

    Remove only the personal folders is not the way to do

    Everyone can recover with the software of data recovery and your user account name, parameters, etc rest...

    And if everyone would recommend "Dban"; who will even remove any recovery partition (which if necessary for purposes of relocation), because it deletes (as its default action) information on any hard disk that it finds in your computer and you need to reinstall the operating system.

    The way to do what you want to do is to reinstall the operating system that your header request initially (but remember the only way to know that your data is never recoverable is to physically destroy the hard drive!).

    Here are the various ways to reinstall the operating system:

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks to reinstall from.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (this is why I did not recommend the use of Dban).

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
