Summary
- This feature provides a way for users to automatically fix Firefox by creating a new profile and migrating their data. It can be accessed three different ways:
- When the user attempts to re-install Firefox (same version is already installed), he is offered the option to reset Firefox. Note that the reset process is performed by Firefox, not by the installer.
- After Firefox crashes three consecutive times at start-up, it will offer to either reset Firefox or to start in safe mode.
- The user can open the Troubleshooting Information page (about:support) and click the Reset Firefox button.
- When the user chooses to reset Firefox, Firefox will:
- Confirm with the user what actions are about to be taken
- Create a new user profile
- Migrate the user data (bookmarks, history, saved passwords, autofill form/search data, cookies, extensions and themes)
- Reset the toolbars and controls
- Reset all the user preferences to Firefox defaults
- Disable all the add-ons and switch to the default theme
- Restart using the new profile.
- Since OS X and Linux don't have installers, there is no way to trigger this process for them upon re-installation. The rest of the cases are valid for them too.
Notes:
- Add-ons are not migrated at all yet. - 2012-05-07
- The user's Sync account is not migrated either. - 2012-05-07
