Harold you have to backup your bookmarks and any other addons in your
profile directory "C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zy6z31n1.default", yourname is your name
on the computer and the number/letter combination is unique to your
computer and user name after you uninstall. After backup you must delete
the whole Firefox directory. Then reinstall Firefox.
It's a bug in the installer wrapper that has never been resolved,
unfortunately :(

Hello again,
How is this possible? I wanted to remove Firefox (some of the web pages are
coming in with unuaually small size font necessitating holding down Ctrl and
moving the mouse wheel), and then re-install it to see if there is any
improvement. I deleted all references to Firefox with a search, and then to
make sure, using RegSeeker, I removed all references to Firefox from the
Registry.
Now after re-installing Firefox (without any changes in the configurations),
it is exactly how I had it before the deletions --- same bookmarks, same
bookmark toolbar, and same homepage. Unfortunately same problem exists with
the font size but that might be because I had removed many fonts from the font
folder that I never use (with due consideration for those fonts that are
absolutely needed for Windows to operate).
Basic question is how is it possitle that a totally new install gives me my
original configurations? --- Harold
