Do a clean reinstall of Firefox 6.

  1. Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
  2. Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    • Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version
      • Be sure the box to remove personal information is NOT CHECKED during uninstall ---- LOOK carefully during install.
    • Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    • See Uninstalling Firefox and Uninstalling Firefox (Mozillazine)
  3. Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    • It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
  4. Install the fresh copy of Firefox that you downloaded in step 1
