    Please help(Fire-Fox).
    « on: March 28, 2010, 07:19:52 AM »
    When I look in control panel=>remove programs I see 2 versions of FireFox.(3.5.5 & 3.5.6)
    When I look at what version is running(help)it shows;3.6.2
    But the versions shown in my "remove programs" list it shows 3.5.5 and 3.5.6 ???
    I want to clean-up my drive but I don`t know what I can remove.
    Please HELP...

                                     Thanks;Eric.

    Try uninstalling them. If they exist, they'll uninstall. If they don't, the entry in Add/Remove should be deleted. Worst case is your current version will uninstall (but I sincerely doubt that will happen) and you can reinstall it (you can always back up the bookmarks first if you like).

      Thank you for your quick reply.How do I back-up all my F-Fox settings,add-ons and plug-ins,is there a program for that???
      I have cutomised my F-Fox a lot and I would,very much,like to keep my settings.
      In the list it shows 3.5.5 at 28Mb and 3.5.6 at 28.7Mb but there is no 3.6.2 in the list.
            Again thanks;Eric.

      But again, the likelihood of uninstalling the wrong version is slim (though not impossible).

        BTW, here's how to remove phantom items from the add/remove list (if you don't want to use something like tweakui): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481
