Please Reset:


Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open. Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.

Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29 . Locate and delete the file prefs.js (or rename it, for example, to prefs.jsOLD, to keep the old file as a backup). If you find more than one, a prefs.js.moztmp file or a user.js file, delete (or rename) these as well. You can close the profile folder and open Firefox now.

Easiest to clear the bookmarks and other data that are currently on the Sync server is to change the password of the Sync account.
