Actual results:

This page states:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings#firefox:mac:fx61

"The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs."


Expected results:

Accessibility and safety configuration can be essential information.

"Refresh Firefox" reverts image.animation_mode (important safety feature!), ui.CaretBlinkRate, etc. and removes extensions, user styles, etc.

The blurb should probably list what it cuts/reverts, and what it keeps, without implying that it keeps all essential information.
