Part of my bookmarks are gone, most of my addons are gone, many of my searchmachines are gone, my buttons are eather gone or in a diffrent place, my session chronic is gone, my master password is gone,

The reset will reset the profile. Not return to a prior version.


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
