... been having issues with certain websites hanging. The issues are not happening on other browsers. The advice being given is to completely uninstall Firefox and install it fresh. However, I want to preserve all my bookmarks, passwords etc. before I do so and would like to know how it is done and how to restore them back to the new install.
-thx
You could use this command to clear out part of Firefox's cache. It seems to help a lot of the time.
EmptyFirefoxCache.bat
You could just stick the command into a shortcut instead but I like to keep acknowledgements of the source of tweaks so a batch file was what I decided to use.Code::: Command provided by :: Firefox cache clearing tool - TM post #8 - ElevenForum :: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/laptop-slowing-down.13934/post-283054 :: This deletes the files [*.*] but leaves the folders - I thought it had gone wrong until I realised del /F /S /Q "C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.*"
I run the batch file using a shortcut set to run Minimised so it does not make any difference in practice except that I can place the batch file in a protected folder along with all my other scripts & portable utilities.
