Chosen solution

Back up your ReminderFox data before reinstalling. This is stored in a separate folder in your active Firefox settings folder (also known as your Firefox profile folder). You can find this folder using a button the Troubleshooting Information page. Either:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table, click "Show Folder". Look for a folder named reminderfox and copy it to a safe place.
