So I had a slow browser was suggested I refresh it, so I did. Now I would like all my old Firefox data back, is there a simple one button or automated process to do this? I really don't want to read page after page on how to manually restore each item one by one. Just a quick restore old data or import old bookmarks or something.

Please uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. I suggest making a copy of your profile just in case : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Unfortunately 56.0.2 is no longer safe to use for every day use, but 52.5.0 ESR is! It will continue to get security updates until May 2018, and you can download and install it from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I already have a folder with old firefox data. Now you want me to uninstall firefox as its unstable? Is there a way to restore my old firefox data without reading a swamp load of information on how to do it.
