Something has caused Firefox to become difficult to use. Specifically the search bar only works once after launch. The Remember password doesn't seem to work. Download manager stalls. Some sites won't play video. I've sought help on the forums and done the usual stuff, including re-installation. I like Firefox and don't want to change. I want to re-install Firefox, no add-on's or extensions. I want to keep all the personal stuff - a great pain to reconstruct all the bookmarks, passwords, etc.

Is there a script of wizard for this? If not a procedure and a copy of the latest executable?

Very frustrating.... Any help will be appreciated.
