Installed CC Cleaner. It screwed up my Firefox. I removed CC Cleaner but Firefox is still screwed. Can't do hotmail or gmail in Firefox

I installed CC Cleaner and ran cleaner and registry.

Now I can't use firefox on a variety of sites. They may load, but they don't function properly. I allowed all javascripts, but still I can see my landing page (e.g. can log into hotmail) but can't go further (e.g., can't get into inbox)

I unistalled CC Cleaner, but the problems remain.

What settings must I change to get back? System restore does not apply, and I can read my emails in IE (which I despise doing), so how do I reset or correct my Firefox settings? I've tried, but not been successful. Thanks!!

Thank you, "the-edmeister". This solution did work. Unfortunately, it requires that I move all bookmarks, reinstall no-script and other add-ons, etc.

Is there a menu option or process similar to 'system restore' by which I could go back to yesterday's firefox settings?

Thanks again. I now have a working solution!!

I'm glad it was that easy to solve. Those "cleaner" programs can be pretty destructive.
