I accidentally reset Firefox back to default, can my mistake be undone?
I was troubleshooting on how to fix a problem with Firefox running extremely slow and somehow accidentally clicked on the Reset Firefox to its default state button. I lost all my saved passwords, user ID's, addon extensions, etc. Can this be undone? I've even tried to reset my computer back prior to a date with no luck. I have Firefox version 32 and run Windows 7 professional.

Hello wolfinator,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support.
When you reset Firefox your old Firefox profile information will be placed on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data". Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
You can copy the file you want to restore to your new profile folder. Look at this for info on how to do.

Please let us know if this solves your issue.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
