Hi, as FredMcD said, if you don't remove your profile, bookmarks etc should be saved.
See under the heading Remove user data and settings in Uninstall Firefox from your computer
For even greater bookmarks security, before you uninstall; open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Backup, and save them to somewhere convenient on your computer.

- 1 Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
- 2 Uninstall Firefox from your computer {web link}
DO NOT remove your profiles. - 3 After, reboot the computer. Then run the full installer.
Refresh Firefox {web link} is a LAST RESORT ! !
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
If you're having problems with Firefox, refreshing it can help. The refresh feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs.

Firefox comes in two or more folders on all computers. They are;
Maintenance: (Programs Folder) <Windows Only> Firefox itself: (Programs Folder) And one folder in the profile of each user on the computer.
If you remove the Firefox folder, the user folders would not be affected.
i got round to finally deleting FF and reinstalling it. Then i was offered to "refresh" it saying it would speed it up and reinstall bookmarks , the thing is that bookmarks were already recovered and i assume it would be speedy cause it was a fresh install. what is this about please
anyway i chose refresh , then cancelled it before it was finished , re booted , then was offered a choice of 2 profiles, i chose one
why was i offer refresh immediately after i reinstalled it .this dosn't seem right should i do a complete uninstall [all traces of it] to start fresh
thanks

That 'refresh' message is from the browser and sometimes comes up when it thinks there is a problem.
