Dear All I switched over to latest version Firefox, installed it on other, parallel drive (D). However, older version FF -still on (C)- updated itself. (Left it there because I wanted access to some data while changing - bad idea, obviously!) Now there's a (new) version on either drives. Can I remove (C) version? C-disk is rather small, therefore idea came of swapping it to (D) And HOW do I remove it from (C)? Many thanks for any idea All (MY real name)

If you install Firefox on the D drive then this is only about the Firefox installation folder and you probably still have the profile folder on the C drive. You can check this on the about:support and about:profiles pages.

It shouldn't be a problem to uninstall the Firefox version stored on the C drive, just make sure that this version isn't set as the default browser before uninstalling.
