My HD is Full causing my PC to work really slow. When I open (Add/Remove Programs) the largest file that I have is Firefox (2.0.0.20) @ 1,843.00MB. Firfox (8.0) @ 35.64MB is also present. When I click (Remove) on Firefox (2.0.0.20) Nothing Happens  ??? I have Removed/Re-Installed both (7.0 & 8.0) in the past. Still un-able to remove (2.0.0.20)

Are you sure that you still have that older version still installed?
Do you have two Program Files folders for Firefox?

Firefox release versions have always installed to the same Program Files folder, so unless you did a Custom installation of Firefox to a different folder at some point, you probably only have the newer version of Firefox installed. WinXP is notorious for not clearing the old Registry keys for older versions of some programs after those programs have been updated, making Add & Remove Programs look like the older version is still installed.
