➜ If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing the browser can be a solution. This process restores the browser to its default state while saving your essential information, like bookmarks and passwords.
To reset Firefox settings to default, follow these steps:?What does the refresh feature do?
Firefox stores all your settings and personal information in a profile folder. The refresh feature creates a new profile folder and saves your important data.
