Upgraing Firefox to newest version
I currently am running version 3.6.6
I want to install the latest version ... can I simply download the update, close Firefox - and do the install?
Will EVERYTHING be saved (bookmarks, history, current sessions etc)?
Of late - Firefox has really slowed to c crawl - and then - I cannot even run it ... this is even after cleaning cache and other items I don't need. I DO tend to have many sessions open at the same time ...

Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com and install it on top of the current version, it will not remove your user data.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
- Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53
- Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers
Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
Thanks Guys --- to the last responder - should I do both the things you suggest prior TO updating FF?
The order you do them in does not matter.
The order in which you update is not important as long as you update all programs.
Firefox will find the updated plugins via a registry scan.
Thanks SO much guys! I thought that was the answer, but it never hurts to ask! <:-D
You're welcome
