After that it deleted all my tabs and windows. From a casual user perspective, I thought it would do as it says, not a whole format of tabs. Either please change the name or change how refreshing works. Because down the line similar users will experience this mistake.</P> Sun, 18 Sep 2022 21:41:44 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/14283#M6380 Duncream 2022-09-18T21:41:44Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58268#M20536 <P>yes the should call it a reset, because that is what it is. so do not customize Firefox OK!</P> Wed, 29 May 2024 08:13:19 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58268#M20536 alannsandiego 2024-05-29T08:13:19Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58307#M20556 <P>Sorry to hear about losing your session. A successful Refresh should bring your tabs over, but it will reset your toolbars and add-ons. In case of problems, the old data should be on your Windows/Mac/Linux desktop in an "Old Firefox Data" folder. You can submit a new question on the Mozilla Support site for help using the files in that folder if the Refresh didn't work correctly.</P><UL><LI><A href="https://support.mozilla.org/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings" target="_blank">https://support.mozilla.org/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings</A></LI><LI>Mozilla Support new question form (for Windows/Mac/Linux): <A href="https://mzl.la/3y1vQUQ" target="_blank">https://mzl.la/3y1vQUQ</A></LI></UL><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 29 May 2024 16:15:47 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58307#M20556 jscher2000 2024-05-29T16:15:47Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58481#M20621 <P>Most people would learn the hard way that a Refresh damages you Firefox installed. I would never use a refresh as I do not have time to reinstall more than a dozen extensions and I would have to make a list of them; to bad Firefox does not ask you if you want to reinstall each one. lol. refresh is useless; same as uninstall and reinstall.</P> Sat, 01 Jun 2024 02:00:05 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/58481#M20621 alannsandiego 2024-06-01T02:00:05Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/59913#M21048 <P>To bad Firefox does not allow you to select the extension to reinstall then it might be useful</P> Sun, 16 Jun 2024 08:07:20 GMT https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/change-the-way-how-refresh-firefox-works-or-change-its-name/m-p/59913#M21048 alannsandiego 2024-06-16T08:07:20Z
