Correct me if I am wrong, but you are mentioning two problems

  1. real real small font on Amazon page
  2. unsuccessful update from 20.x to the latest Firefox version

Here's the instructions on how to fresh re-install - note that deleting it in the control panel is not all it takes. I am pretty sure, number 1 problem will go away once you have done it. If not, please open a new question regarding the fonts subject.

Clean reinstall means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
  2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
  3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    • Windows:
      • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Please report back to see if this helped you!

Thank you.
