I want to COMPLETELY wipe firefox, and then reinstall it and bring back only my passwords and bookmarks. I'm trying to troubleshoot some graphical glitches in firefox. How do I restore passwords and bookmarks after restoring? Thanks

Hi bhybodus, First, you should make a Backup (copy) of your Profile: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

and take a look at the data stored there: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

then, go ahead and: Uninstall Firefox from your computer
