If you need to fix your Firefox or remove malicious stuff, then browser reset is one of the simplest ways that can help.
You might need to reset your Firefox if it is infected with some "virus" that displays unwanted ads or replaces your favorite search engine or homepage with the redirect to unfamiliar web address. Reset might help to fix some of these problems and avoid additional effort.
On the other hand, if you find removal instructions for adware or a browser hijacker removal that do not help to get rid of the infection, than reset you Firefox to finish the job if you did not do this yet.

1. Start Firefox and click “Menu” icon at the top-right corner. Then find "Customize" option and click on "Help" icon placed at the right.
3. Click on "Troubleshooitng information" menu option that gives you access to advanced Firefox functions.
4.You will see a message box that gives short explanation of this option. Click on "Reset Firefox" button in placed in this message box
5. In the pop-up warning click on "Reset Firefox" button once more to confirm the reset
6. Close and restart your web browser
Tip: If reset doesn't help to fix problems related to your Firefox, then try to completely reinstall your web browser. Easy. However, before you will do this, run CCleaner and get rid of temporary internet files and cookies that might cause problems that you are trying to get rid off. Run its registry cleaner as well and look what progams are residing in your startup folder. Remove or disable ones that are unknown or suspicious.
Finally, if you need to remove some particular browser infection, then click on the banner at the top that you see here. More than 1600 browser infections are in my collection, and removal guides found there are pretty universal for the most of wide-spread browser infection types.
