My current version is 14.0.1 and show as Mozilla in Windows Explorer. File dates are current. The second file in Windows Explorer is listed as Mozilla(2) and has files from 2010. The Windows add or remove programs page only shows one installation. Can I safely delete the Mozilla(2) file from Widows Explorer?

My operating system is Windows XP-SP3.

In that case, I would try to rename the Mozilla(2) and make sure everything works. If it does, you can delete it.

Mozilla(2) is not a default installations folder, so most likely sometime in the past, someone installed Firefox (or another mozilla product) and changed the directory to Mozilla(2). I'd try renaming it to something like mozilla(2)old, test and make sure everything works, and if it does, delete it.

Where do you see those numbered Mozilla folders or do you mean that you've downloaded more than one copy of a Firefox installer?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Two attached screen shots show the two Mozilla files in Windows Explorer. Mozilla(2) has the older dated files.

I renamed Mozilla Firefox(2) and the browser is working. I will delete the (2) file. Thanks for the help.
