• I have reset Firefox and now I've lost the Favorites and the custom toolbar.

  I can't restore my custom toolbar. Got back bookmarks by following the instructions found. I can not understand how to restore the toolbar... I go to the "Troubleshooting" information and I click on the "view files", but the only 'local' in my opinion, is not dated before I reset Firefox and I do not understand ' click on Firefox and while it repairs... etc. ". I am pretty good at following instructions, but these baffle me. Help, please!

  I haven't seen that pop up...

  If you want to try to roll back the clock I can describe a procedure to do this. In short, it would be to create a new folder of parameters (a new Firefox profile), deletion of the contents of this folder and copy the contents of your old data from Firefox on the desktop file.

  Does not take long, if you are interested, but then you have to troubleshoot why the old profile was slow. Here's how:

  Resucitating your profile before reset

  (1) create a new Firefox profile:

  Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in this article:

  Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox

  Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box. When you create a new profile, I recommend that you use the suggested default location, not to delete all profiles without first making backups. For quick reference, name the 12 profile so you can easily recognize.

  (2) when you start in the new profile, it is almost empty. Open the profile folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  The bar of Windows Explorer should show a name combining random characters with 12.

  (3) keep this folder open, exit Firefox. Allow a few moments for Firefox complete update of the files in the profile folder. Then delete the contents of the folder new profile. This will leave you with a profile folder 12 vacuum.

  (4) in a separate window, open the folder of old data from Firefox on your desktop. Copy all the data of this file in the profile folder 12 vacuum.

  (5) run Firefox. It is expected to launch in which looks exactly like your discount to zero prior configuration.

  Now on troubleshooting. If Firefox feels slow, I suggest starting with Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

  Help > restart with disabled modules

  In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

  Any difference?

• Will I lose my google account or microsoft word or email and the email records if I reset firefox?

  Increase the grip on my firefox ("not responding" sometimes "the script is not responding"). Last night the mozilla would not respond to my email, so I opted to close the session. What a mistake. I lost all my email, some of them, business correspondence. Will I lose my Google account, e-mail and files written or my program Microsoft Word or Internet Explorer if I "reset"? I'll wait for a response before as I have "reset". Thank you for your service. Sincerely.

  This support article describes what refresh: Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.

  But to answer your specific questions:

  I'm going to lose my...

  • Google account: No. If Firefox don't forget your Google password, you can log into your account and save it again.
  • E-mail: No. your email is not stored in Firefox, it is either stored on the e-mail service provider's website or a separate e-mail program, or both.
  • writing files: I'm not sure what this is. If you are using an add-on to create/save these files, then it is possible that the files will be gone after a refresh because the data associated with the modules are removed. However, if you have created these files in any other way, they should not be affected.
  • Microsoft Word program: No.. A Firefox Refresh does not affect the Microsoft applications.
  • Internet Explorer: No.. A Firefox Refresh does not affect the Microsoft applications.

  I noticed that you mentioned a "Reset". Windows has a reset function. I'm only talking about Firefox built in refreshment and not resetting Windows.

• some pages will not load in Firefox - only works in IE and Google - have cleared cookies cache and reset firefox - no luck

  Failed to load www.simplyrecipes.com in Firefox. It works in Chrome and IE 8. OS is XP - latest firefox and all windows updates.

  Hello.

  I was going to just through all the steps of troubleshooting above without success.
  I see that disable the plugins is not permanent - restart the browser allows all the plugins again - did not see how to remove the plugins...

  OK, I have disabled all plugins except the 2 (adobe flash and shockwave)
  then I disabled javascript. It works!

  I have re-enabled Javascript and page breaks. Looks like the site's bug.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  I will activate my plugins now and test again.

  Some thing funny - without reloading the browser - I went in plugins/Add-ons- and they were all turned on again. With Javascript turned off that the site works.

  If you want me to check anything else (later) I'll do it.

  Thanks again!

• All my plugins will disappear if I reset firefox? How can I keep them?

  Updating to Adobe flash, a small box appeared that my firefox is slow. I agree. When I clicked it, it has been suggested that I have reset firefox.

  My concern is of some plugins that I added; those threw himself into reset? If so, is it possible to store them before rebooting?

  Thank you!

  I'm sure that the addons are deleted when resetting Firefox. You can make a list and manually reinstall them later or use the synchronization feature to transfer them to the course.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences at each start of Firefox.

  The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so set of preferences via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all default value, including the prefs prefs set via user.js
