How can I reinstall Firefox and keep saved links, passwords, and settings?
I've had pop-ups tell me I need to update Firefox, Mozilla says not to trust them. The site says it's up to date but want to reinstall it to get rid of any malware that might be installed. I want to save all my bookmarks, passwords, and settings instead of starting from scratch since it's a royal pain to have to do all that.

Hi, you have a good Video Card but have never update your drivers since you got the machine, please do so, before Windows 10 replaces your drivers to Microsoft drivers. adapterDescription: AMD Radeon R5 driverDate: 8-6-2015 If need more info on your drivers please Search locally for Device Manager (yes is still there). https://www.amd.com/en/support
Please : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :
