Upgraded to 59.0; 58.x still showing installed
This morning I upgraded Firefox from 58.0.2 to 59.0. However, my computer says I now have both 58.0.2 and 59.0 installed. Can I safely uninstall 58.0.2?

Hi, Please backup your Profile and Bookmarks

- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
Then Please uninstall both and Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData then reboot. If you have a registry cleaner use it. Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0 with a Full Version Installer

No as I am sure the files are all mingled together. If you do backup your stuff and try it. My directions take 7mins to do.....
What does this mean? Where do I find it?
"Go to one level above your profile's folder, i.e. to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"
If I back up and restore my profile, will that back up and restore all my bookmarks, too?
Yes..... Unless they are corrupted in the Profile. If you could follow instructions as they are wrote then I know on this end what is going on. This means I will not need more information from you and you will not have to ask for more information. Thank You.
