Windows 10 Fresh Install / Will Firefox be just how I left it?

more options

It looks like I have to do a fresh install of windows 10, due to malware. After this is done and I re-install Firefox, and log in, will it be just how I left it?

If someone knows how I can get these "Allowed Threats" to not be allowed anymore, that would be great!

Have you tried running malware scanners?

Run most or all of the listed free to use malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
