    I'd like to install the newest version of Mozilla Firefox...is it wise to simply install over the old version, or should I uninstall and reinstall from scratch? I'm worried about how to save my bookmarks if I completely uninstall the old version.
    Advice? I'm running Windows XP Pro.

    Your profile is not stored in the Firefox folder. It is stored in the Documents and Settings folder under your login/username. It is not deleted when you uninstall Firefox. For extra security, you can back up your profile folder by copying it ot a different location like a CD or USB drive.
