The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Is this on mobile?
On desktop this is usually a problem with the mimeTypes.rdf file and a possible solution is to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.
I don't know if this applies to Android as well.
does this apply to the android version?
