Firefox is ready to go.

Your add-ons and customisations have been removed and your browser settings have been restored to their defaults. If this didn't fix your issue, learn more about what you can do. Restore all windows & tabs Restore only the ones you want

It did this all by itself without me asking it or clicking anything

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