Can I reload a totally "clean" version with nothing brought forward from the past. I was hacked and don't want to get Vorstan automatically on my system? Thanks
I got infected with Vorstran (or Vorstan?) many months ago. I'd love to reload Firefox now that I have everything straightened out on my computer, but in the past when I had to reload Firefox, all my old book marks, came back. (They must be saved to load for me the next time I heed to reload??) Not wanting to get Vorstran back on a reload, I have hesitated to try to reload as when it comes in, it infects all browsers, overwrites my backups and generally locks itself in the system Can I get a totally clean version of Firefox to load to completely start over?? I don't want to bring anything forward from the past at all. No book marks, favorites, folders, nothing. Can that be done somehow so I can finally again use my favorite browser? My old email that is now closed, was "XXX@yahoo.com". I had to change it to the current one "XXX@gmail.com." How would I go about getting a totally clean version of firefox? Thanks Dennis Bloomquist

Hi
if you are absolutely, 100%, completely certain that you want to start from scratch (after having made sure that your system is clean of the malware);
To completely remove your old profile, you must manually delete the Firefox folder;
- Click the Windows Start button, and select Run….
- Type in %APPDATA% in the Run prompt then click OK.
- Open the Mozilla folder.
- Delete the Firefox folder.
Next, install a clean copy of Firefox from (link).
Welcome back, we've missed you.
