I have recently updated to Firefox version 3.6.13. In the programs and features applet in my Control Panel, (WIN 7 Ultimate 64bit) version 3.6.10 still shows up as being installed. If I uninstall version 3.6.10, will my current version installation be gone too, as the uninstall wants to do so in the same folder as the newer version?

Yes, uninstalling that version will remove the current Firefox 3.6.13 version. You only have that old entry of that previous version in "Programs and Features" left. It sometimes (?) happens that the updater doesn't remove or update the uninstall keys in the Windows registry. You can remove that orphaned registry key yourself if you are comfortable with editing the registry, otherwise leave it or try a registry cleaner program.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (????)

Thanks for the direction. I am completely comfortable editing the registry. However the software key you have directed me to does not exist in my registry. sorry. There is no Mozilla Firefox at all under uninstall. I have the same issue with Thunderbird and there is no key for that either??? Harald
