Meanwhile, I don't want to lose my copious bookmarks and saved passwords.
Looked this up, somewhere said to save the bookmark file to the desktop. How about passwords?
Would it work to have IE import all that from FF, then reinstall FF and re-import from IE?
I use FF due to some long-forgotten irritation w/IE. Don't suppose I have to be wedded to it. Any recommendations for a browser?
Thanks

Opera is very good (will import firefox bookmarks no problems), but that is only my user bias and IE9 ain't too shabby either!

Gone to Control Panel.....removed something called Firefox Maintenance (or something like that).
Clicked on uninstall Firefox 17 and....voila!...You Must Restart Your Computer To Complete An Earlier Installation Of Firefox. Do You Want To Restart Now?

I use a the simple (open source) utility called KeePass that requires a master password to enter to obtain access to all passwords, URLs and account info. I also use their USB version as a backup that I keep on a small thumbdrive which requires no PC installation. All entries are encrypted using the most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).
I can copy entry info to Windows clipboard and post it into any other program of my choice or drag-and-drop. The same works for copying passwords.
