Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems

Have you reset your Firefox/Mozilla sourced browser?

  • No. I didn't know I could do this, but I'm going to try it now! :-D

  • I'd rather not alter my browser (it is finally the way I want it) regardless if my profile is saved.

  • Yes, I've used reset, though I wish I'd read this before I'd found all my extensions removed! :(

  • I reset each time I use a publicly shared computer, ..just to be safe! ;-)

  • Yes, reset is the easiest method I've found to wipe out all extensions & restart again clean/light!
