No, I have xp. I had vista on my other hard drive (which is still connected as a second drive), but couldn't find my vista disc when the new hard drive was installed so we had to install xp.

Ok I found a way to import all my bookmarks into IE...just in case.

I went into my control panel and deleted firefox/mozilla.

Went the the mozilla site, downloaded it again and installed...WTF! When it installed...the same mozilla was back on my computer along with all my original book marks all in the same order and it's still doing the same thing. What happened?

When you install Firefox it asks you if you want to import the Bookmarks from IE... I'd say that is what happened.

If you were in a clicking 'Next' Frenzy, you may not have noticed that?!?!?!

Cheers

No, it did not ask me any of that. It's really weird, it's like it didn't even uninstall. I mean the bookmarks came back in exactly the order that I had them up (and I know this because they were all outta wack and folders everywhere instead of lined up the way that they should). Something definately went wrong. I guess I'll have to try it again later.

I have never really dealt with your particular issue, but I will tell you this for certainty, after all my years of messing with computers I have learned one thing, when you uninstall a program from your computer, it DOES NOT remove all files associated with the program. It may appear that it has to you because the icons and shortcuts are gone, but unless you go into the registry ( I do not recommend this unless you know what you are doing ) and delete every file associated with the program, then they are still there. And my guess is that when you installed the program again, it found those files and it just made them active again instead of duplicating the files. This is actually a good thing because your registry does not have a butt load of duplicate files.

I would suggest that you defrag your system after uninstalling and installing a program. This way all the files will be back together where they are supposed to be and the program will run faster.

Now you know...... And knowing is half the battle!

Registry First Aid helps too... Run it weekly, keeps it sqeaky clean... Defrag once a month...
