I think I know what the problem with FF. It is my computer hard disk. I think there is a bad sector where the program gets installed. Sometimes after the third attempt to get into FF it lets me reset and works. But as soon as I have a problem with FF and close FF it has problems again. The installer normally installs in C: programs (x86). I would like to direct it to just c:\programs directory. Then how will I make sure the new place points the profile in the right way?

If you suspect a bad sector on your disc then either fix it with a proper hard disc tool, or get a new disc. Everything else is nonsense.

Firefox on Windows is a 32-bit application and thus needs to be installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)" Only 64-bit applications belong in "C:\Program Files\"
