Your Firefox OS phone, just like other phones running on other operating systems, will probably reach a point where a reset is needed. If you have a laggy device, are having trouble with malicious applications and application errors, or simply want to delete all the content of your phone, then a reset may be needed. For some operating systems such as Android and iPhone, there are different ways to reset a device and each type differs in its cleanup. However, for Firefox OS devices, resetting a phone means deleting the all the files and data you have saved on your device (e.g., contacts, messages, media files, etc.). If you want to know the reset procedure for a Firefox OS phone, you have come to the right place.
