This article explains what you keep and what you lose with the Refresh feature: Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

You can access the support information page using any of these:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter (note: there's a colon between about and support, not a period)

Note that "about:" is a protocol to access special pages like http(s): to access a website and thus uses a colon.

What kind of issues do you have that you want the use the Refresh feature in Firefox?
