Firefox crashes
While attempting to fix my laptop battery I either deleted or changed a setting that is impacting Mozilla Firefox. When I attempt to start Firefox I get the Crash Reporter "Firefox had a problem & crashed" - after many attempts, I can't get it to restart. I don't know what I am going to do if I have lost all my bookmarks & saved passwords. Please help!
Crash ID: bp-2570327b-ee68-47ec-ae96-74ff40190402
This is what I did to try & fix battery not charging, but in Device Manager I also deleted what I thought was an old network adapter, but can't remember exactly what it was I deleted. I also changed a lot of battery settings, but don't think that should impact Firefox?
Please perform below-shown steps to resolve the issue: Step 01. Click on the Start Button Step 02. Type "Device Manager" in the start search box & open the Device Manager Step 03. Look for Batteries and expand it by click on the + symbol on the left Step 04. Right Click on "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" & uninstall Note: This Battery driver will get reinstalled automatically when you restart the Notebook again Step 05. Please Shutdown the Notebook Step 06. Please remove the Battery and unplug the Power Adapter Step 07. Press and Hold the Power Button for full 1 Minute Step 08. Go ahead and put back the Battery and connect the Power Adapter Step 09. Look for "Plugged In Charging" message on the Battery icon
