What is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.bak" directory is used for? I tried to delete but it asks me for elevated privileges. Yes, it is a directory that has almost the exact size and contents.

Are you the only user on this system or is there an administrator that preforms maintenance on your system?

I am the only user that performs all the maintenance on my PC with Admin privileges.

I too would like to know why this 'Mozilla Firefox.bak' directory has been created. I also am the sole user of my computer, and just discovered this directory. Is this a legitimate directory created by Firefox?

And I don't think the reply above should be marked as "chosen solution" when it clearly is nothing of the sort.
