0 comments
Hi guys, i am here to show you , how to fix or restore firefox when it corrupts and you have no other way other option then re-installing it to gain access to the internet .
The best way is to access “Safe Mode” using the “Run” function which can also be found in the Start Menu. Enter “firefox -safe-mode” (without the quote marks) in the blank and click “OK”.

Once you have started Firefox in “Safe Mode”, you will see the following window. Here you will be able to choose the actions that you would like to perform.

  • Disable all add-ons – all extensions and themes will be turned off while in safe mode
  • Reset toolbars and controls – removes any changes or customisation that you have made to the toolbar(s)
  • Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults – removes your current set of bookmarks and resets to the original default set of bookmarks
  • Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults – restores the options, preference settings, and the theme back to the original default settings (Note: This will also reset all the entries in about:config back to their original default settings and remove any custom entries that you have added.)
  • Restore default search engines – restores all of the original default search engines (based on the language version you have installed) without removing any of the search engines that you may have installed/added
For our example, all but the first option will be selected. Once selected, click “Make Changes and Restart”.

Once Firefox has been restarted, you can see the difference in appearance (including the original homepage).
