So refresh popped up on Mozilla and like a dummy I clicked on it Lost all my passwords, lost my tool bar where it was across top with all saved places I go often. Still is not correct, having to look up and redo all my passwords for all the stuff Mozilla refresh erased, very sad about it :(

Hi, sorry, that shouldn't have happened. IMHO Refresh is recommended too often! So first try restarting Firefox - 3-bar menu > Exit Firefox in bottom right corner.

If that doesn't help, please look on your Desktop for a file named Old Firefox Data - Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

To see the bookmarks bar, right click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and tick/check Bookmarks Toolbar. Also see - Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window.

I do have that folder on my desktop full of "stuff" that I am not about to click on and would never refresh again. I was able to get some of my quick links back by memory others I will have to do when I go to them. I realized also after submitting the question that ALL of my passwords had been erased so had to redo all of them :( Laptop is running at about 70 per cent of what it was with the information I had before refresh. Just would never do it again, thank you.
