I use Firefox for automated screenshots in a xvfb-virtual desktop. There is no mouse. So I need to reset Firefox from the commandline. Uninstall an re-install leads to the "reset-Window" again. I use Ubuntu 13.04 Server-Edition.

Otherwise, without a keyboard and mouse, you can just reinstall and delete the ./mozilla folder.

then a new window should show to enter safe mode or Reset, hit the right keyboard key, and press enter on "Reset Firefox". No mouse needed.

Thanks @Waka_Flock_Flame, but I have no keyboard either. It's an server and xvfb is just a virtual X-Server.

Thanks @Mohammed.samad, but I use Linux.

Thanks! Remove and install didn't help, but the trick is removing the ./mozilla folder. Thanks a lot!!!

You may have to check the ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox folder as well that current Firefox versions use for the disk cache.
