What's the correct upgrade procedure? I read here that one of the earlier versions sometimes didn't uninstall properly.

[Lucid]

The uninstaller should work fine, unless you have accidentally installed straight under Program Files (so that Firefox doesn't have its own subdirectory there). Apparently at least some version would delete everything under the installation directory.

I've always used the zip version.

[schmosef]

It's got its own Mozilla Firefox folder so that's a relief.

What do you mean by "zip" version?

[Greebe]

Zip as in file compression container

[Lucid]

If you go to the Mirrors page that is linked from the Download page, you can find ftp directories that also include a zipped version (no installer). Just a choice. It is a bit bigger.

So I can't install over top of my current install?

It has always been strongly recommended not to do that.

I have been installing overtop since 0.9 and havent had one problem.

Wait ...small issue, sometimes i end up with 2 google toolbars (i use the extension one) I have to uninstall and reinstall the extension to fix it

How do you guys save your config info and plugins if you uninstall a version and install a new one on top?

[Ribbit]

Mozilla and Firefox and the rest save their user-specific data in the user's home directory (or Documents and Settings folder), the way all programs should but the vast majority of Windows programs seem to delight in pissing me off by not doing. You won't lose settings, bookmarks, mail, passwords, etc. by uninstalling. Plugins maybe, but probably not, and reinstalling them's no biggie anyway (and their settings should be preserved).

Goddamit, is there a way to disable CTRL+W or whatever it is from closing Firefox??

[The PIT]

At home I installed over the current install without probs. At work I didn't so I've got too re-install some plugins.

I think version 0.8x didn't like going to version 0.9.

Something they need to work on to make the upgrade more user friendly.

Ctrl+Q is close program
Ctrl+W is close current tab

I don't know if you can disable it. Well you could download the source and edit them out and recompile
