Previously I used another version. I uninstalled from Remove Programs & deleted Firefox Folder from Program files. Then again installed, but it didn't work. I update Windows online.

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