Your problem should be solved after this.. but it's not! :( Let me think: If Mozbackup says that the data are corrupted, you can do the followings. 1. export your Firefox bookmarks your self by opening Firefox -> go to bookmarks -> Organise my bookmarks -> in the new window go to file -> export. 2. Make screenshots (or write down) your passwords & usernames in Firefox. You can do it by opening Firefox -> Extra -> Option -> Security-> Show passwords. You can see your usernames for each website. Now click on show passwords again and you'll see the passwords. Write this down, or make printscreens. When you've done this, try to un-install firefox with the freeware tool which you had found, use ccleaner again and install Firefox again. Personally. If this doesn't solve anything, I would go and install the new version of firefox, then uninstal it and install the current version of FireFox... Good luck Jenny! This is really odd!

I looked for another one which was free. I also used Mozbackup first. I uninstalled and the one I used cleaned registry file also. Downloaded Firefox again and same problem. I didn't need Mozbackup because all the bookmarks and stuff were still there so the uninstaller I used didn't work very well. Also Mozbackup said that the files I'd backed up were corrupted. Back to where I was. Hi Bioteck,
Your uninstaller is not free. I looked for another one which was free. I also used Mozbackup first.

I uninstalled and the one I used cleaned registry file also.

Downloaded Firefox again and same problem.

I didn’t need Mozbackup because all the bookmarks and stuff were still there so the uninstaller I used didn’t work very well.

Also Mozbackup said that the files I’d backed up were corrupted.

Back to where I was.

Link: http://www.ursoftware.com/ The standard Add/Remove program in XP often can't uninstall applications completely-leaving broken registry keys and unused files on the hard disk. Beside that big registries and large numbers of unnecessary files make system slow. So your problem might be stock somewhere and you can get rid of it by using Your Uninstaller. I use this software at home and it's very good! Ccleaner: CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ So uninstall FireFox with Your Uninstaller, Run CCLeaner, restart and run Ccleaner again just to make sure that nothing is left and install FireFox again. This is what I do when I have troubles with a software… So I hope that this solves your problem. What I mean with third-party uninstaller is a software like: Your Uninstaller 2008.
