Currently under Firefox 4.0.1. under Program Files there are the following folders:

Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 8 Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 12

The first two have only 2 folders each (extensions and plugins) the other two have many folders, .dll files etc.

The profile data is stored elsewhere, you can remove old Firefox installation folders if you want.

For info, on Windows 7 the profile folders are by default located here - C:\Users\<windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
