I have pressed "reset Firefox" button. After this, I lost my bank certificate. How can I recover it?

If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).

It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious to avoid carrying over the problem.

You can copy the cer8.db file from the Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop to the current Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
