I want to reset my A500 to get rid of encryption. Reset back to original OS?

I had my A500 for a little over a year and you want to reset to remove the encryption. When I firstly, unboxed and put up my a500, I opted for the extra security of encryption. When I did this, a notice popped up that the only way to remove the encryption was to reset the tablet. At the time, the tablet was running honeycomb. It has since been updated to Ice Cream Sandwich.

My question is this... Given that ICS is already installed, the factory reset will affect the BONE at all?... where I have to reinstall.

If I reinstall it, Acer will still be available so I can reinstall the upgrade of the ICS?

I backed up all my personal files. I would avoid as much as possible the rooting.

Reset the tablet will not downgrade to honeycomb, as upgrades of the OS are irreversible.

I don't want this toolbar or anything either. I looked through all the settings and the FAQ. Anything concerned with that. Please tell me I can get rid of them & come back to how it was.
    Thanks for the help.

    I think the built-in Firefox homepage has had this design for a couple of years now.

    Maybe you had applied a rule of custom style to change the page, and he's lost? One way that could happen is if you use Refresh. Firefox sometimes displays a message that it's a bad performance and you can speed it up by restoring some default settings. Additional modules to change the homepage or rules in userContent.css or userChrome.css file would have been removed in this process. (They can always be recovered a record of old data of Firefox on your desktop.)
