How Do I change my log in default back to the way I had it before?

more options

Firefox prompted me that my web connection was slow and to click the bottom of the screen to see how to speed it up. So i did, then it asked later for me to chose a default from one of 3 shown in a side window. I chose wrong because all of my bookmarks and history are all changed and I have no idea how to go back and change this setting. PLEASE HELP!!!

It sounds like you may have accessed the Firefox profile manager by accident and changed your default Firefox profile.

Please try another Firefox profile on your system. To do so, please use the profile manager to change the default profile on your system. Please refer to this Mozilla support article for information on how to use the profile manager:

Warning: Do NOT remove any Firefox profiles on your system, as you may risk losing data if you remove the wrong one.
