\"Firefox<\/p>\n

If you need to troubleshoot Firefox (or your add-ons) on Windows, Mac, or Linux, you can restart the browser from within the app without losing any of your open tabs. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

First, open Mozilla Firefox. In the address bar, type about:profiles<\/code> and hit Enter (or Return on Mac).<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

On the \u201cAbout Profiles\u201d page that opens, locate the box labeled \u201cRestart\u201d in the upper-right corner. To restart the browser while keeping all your open tabs, click \u201cRestart Normally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Firefox will close and start again just as if you had selected \u201cExit\u201d or \u201cQuit Firefox\u201d<\/a> from the main Firefox menu. However, Firefox will reopen all your tabs after it restarts.<\/p>\n

If you need to troubleshoot problematic add-ons instead, revisit the about:profiles<\/code> page and click \u201cRestart With Add-ons Disabled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

After clicking, you\u2019ll see a pop-up warning dialog about opening Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. Here you\u2019ll find two options.<\/p>\n

By clicking \u201cRefresh Firefox,\u201d you have the option to refresh Firefox<\/a>, which removes your add-ons and restores Firefox to a default state. This is a drastic step that we only recommend only as a last resort. You\u2019ll lose your add-ons and configuration.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, you can just temporarily disable your extensions and customizations using Troubleshoot Mode. Nothing will be permanently removed or altered. To do so, click \u201cOpen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Firefox will close and restart with your customizations and add-ons disabled. To re-enable them, close all Firefox windows and restart the app, or revisit about:profiles<\/code> and click \u201cRestart Normally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Good luck, and happy browsing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
