Two issues:

One: mouse sometimes does not work when Firefox opens - works fine on all other programs and applications but not Firefox.

Two: FireFox header does not appear with the URL etc. - frustrating as I can't open preferences when the bar isn't there.

Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox folders by adding .old to them.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
