To correct 3 security problems with the previous version of Firefox, Mozilla has released Firefox v1.0PR. I installed it earlier-- Only difference I noticed is the Bookmarks.

Should have posted this last night: Even though I removed everything I could find of the previous version, including registry entries under Firefox, Mozilla, and Chrome, when I imported Favorites from IE I ended up with two different Bookmark listings--the one I imported and the list from the previous version of Firefox. I think I'll just go ahead and uninstall again completely and try a new download. This time I'll check for old Bookmarks before I import again. Trying to use it with two listings is kind of messed up.
