how to reinstall firefox 7 after complete deletion and recover all personal settings

more options

I tried windows restore, but there are no records of a restore point. I was using CC Cleaner program which told me that a previous version Firefox 6 was still on the drive. I allowed it to delete that, and then found that my Firefox 7 icon & program had disappeared completely. I could just download & reinstall FF7, but then all my saved settings would probably be wiped out -- is that correct ??

Give it a try. Firefox saves all of your personal settings in a different folder than the program itself. So it's possible that you still have your personal settings (profile folder). You can install the latest Firefox and if it finds your profile you'll be back in business.
