How to remove Firefox
Would someone please tell me how to remove all trace of firefox? I have just uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller with a view to installing a different version but when I installed the different version my addons were still there as also were my bookmarks. What is still left behind after uninstalling it and how do I remove these bits and pieces other than by formatting my hard disc?

You would have uninstalled the application, but have not removed the profile folder (location where the user data is stored).
You can create a new profile folder which will be similar to starting anew, for details on how to do that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
An alternative is to delete the profile folder, you can do that manually as shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - You can also run the Firefox uninstaller and select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations", this will remove all Firefox user data such as bookmarks, password, cookies, extensions.
Note that there are some applications install Firefox extensions outside of the profile folder, these will not be deleted by the above methods.
Thanks for your help TonyE,
I uninstalled it using Revo uninstaller and the "Remove my Firefoxpersonal data....." option. It seems to have got rid of everything except for one addon which, no doubt, was outside the profile folder as you mentioned above
