It is probably for people who have issues with the process. For instance, my Firefox won't even start. Not even in safe mode with add-ons disabled. So I am going ahead and applying these suggestions. I also noticed that I had a FireFox profile under "C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefox" as well as "C:Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefox". The second branch is under the "Local Settings" directory. And I just re-installed after doing all the above while typeing and... when I start FireFox is already running but not responding so I have to close it or reboot. It isn't in the task manager so I will reboot. I suppose I will come back with results. Pandu, if you never have problems uninstalling and re-installing then _why_ are you reading this article?

If it's your profile, just use Firefox's Profile Manager to make a new profile. All this extra work you did is unnecessary. Trying for the 3rd time to post this comment. I don't think Wordpress wants me to tell you how to start Firefox in safe mode, so I'll spell it out. You use the command line and type the full path to firefox's executable then type -safe-mode after it before you hit enter.
