From time to time, Firefox Developer will prompt you to "get a fresh experience" by resetting all the settings to their defaults. It still requires the user to say "Golly, sure!" and click the button, but it resets everything.
If you're paying just the slightest bit of attention, you don't click that button.
- soulofmischief 4y agoI'm cognizant enough to know that is not what is taking place for me. I've used Firefox much, much longer than 5 years and it happens much less frequently now. I use Firefox across over half a dozen machines concurrently all day and if it's going to happen to anyone, it's me. It's honest-to-god bitflips/malconfigurations after updates or whatever. I want to believe it's not some secret deal with Google.
