I have had on crash and here is the data from the "about:crashes" system:

Report ID Date Submitted bp-8ec3378a-493e-43fb-9c34-aa0250170507 5/6/17 6:04 PM

After the crash, I tried to re-open Firefox, and was prompted to log-in (I've never had to log-in in a decade).

I followed the log-in procedure and Firefox treated me as if I was a new enrollee.

I had lost all my data, favorites, bookmarks, and unique settings.

That was on April 28th. Since I've had to spend time trying to get my email system working, I finally came back to finding out how to re-set my Firefox account today, on May 6th. I realized that there was now way to re-establish my bookmark history. This led me to learn about profiles and seeking help through this system.

So, is there a way to reset my Firefox account to a time before the crash?

The only 'login' in Firefox is if you set the Master Password in the Password Manager. The login might be from your home page.

Attention Sumo's there are 20 related bug reports.

Sorry, but I don't know Win10. I called for more help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

When multi-process windows in Firefox is enabled then Firefox will use more memory and may be less responsive. Try to disable multi-process windows in Firefox to see if that has effect.

You can disable multi-process windows in Firefox by setting these prefs to false on the about:config page.

  • browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false
  • browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
