FF 41.0.2 running on Win 7 Pro SP1 on two machines. On one, right-clicking the icon pinned to the Win 7 taskbar brings up a section "Tasks" that permits choosing opening a new tab, new window, or private window by another right-click. On the other one, this section is missing. Unpinning and repinning does not solve the problem. How is this section restored?

Hello,

The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

Note: When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article for more information.

To Refresh Firefox:

  1. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    • If you're unable to access the Help menu, type about:support in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
  2. At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
  3. Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
  4. Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Thank you.

Thank you for the above. It fixed the problem -- and even saved my plug-ins! Reinstalling the Extensions did not take long. I am experienced but I don't recommend this for "newbies" unless they have guidance.
