Firefox no longer installed, but I did not uninstall it.
I started my XP machine today and Firefox was gone. No sign of it, no Mozilla folder, not listed in add/remove programs. I have no idea what happened to it. I can download and reinstall, but want to know how it got removed.

In Windows XP this does not exist in the OS. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Have you checked your Recycle Bin? If it is there you can check what time it was removed. Did you have any backup files not in the Firefox folder? Are they still there?
