Unable to start Firefox. Can I save the Firefox profile on my desktop or should I save to external media ? Do I need to delete files before re-installing Firefox or can I just follow the same steps as a new install and 

then copy saved profile.

Running Windows 7 Thanks

DO NOT DO THAT ! ! ! ! !

Using an uninstaller other than Mozilla's could contaminate your profile. The Firefox full installer will take care of that for you.

Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Now run the full installer.
