mozillazine.org has a detail.. basically you copy off your profile then when you get Firefox reinstalled, copy it back (with some changes)

Arggggg, I should do it sooner than later (I'm having some weird errors with svhost.exe), but I'm too lazy. I don't want to waste such a time in such a boring thing. I've installed a huge amount of programs



My best wishes to you ;)
