Re: Delete traces of firefox installation files?
Try this,
Close all Applications & re-boot the computer.
Delete any downloaded or partial installation files.
Shut down any Anti Virus apps.
Clear the Windows Temp files (%temp%) & cache from the browser you D/L'd Firefox with.
D/L a new copy of the (.exe) full installer from, > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Delete the application folder in C\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (32 bit)
C:\Program Files(X86)\Mozilla Firefox (64bit).
Reboot the M/C.
Run the installer.
Re-enable your AV stuff.
Your profile will not be touched by this process but you can always back-up your profile...JIC.

I never had any problems usng Mozbackup or Favbackup. Make sure to use 1.5.2 beta (the latest.).
To be abosulutely save, make an image backup first but, you will not need it.
