How to Reset Firefox in Win7
Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser that can be used on the Windows 7 operating system. Firefox operates much like any other web browser. However, it is an open-source browser, which means that various apps can be added in order to customize the browsing experience. Sometimes you may need to reset Firefox to erase private websites that were visited, as well as clear cookies and security settings so it can appear Firefox was installed for the first time.
