How can I re-install v11 Fox without losing everything ?
The problems with it are escalating. I would like to reinstall v10 perhaps? (Advice?) . AND not lose all the extensions etc. Can I uninstall V11 or just get a new copy of 10 and load over - or try v11 again? I really need to get back to work and my options are to go to another Browser without all my workaday tools..... Hate to go to I.E> and try and import.

What problems are you having with Firefox 11? i'd love to help you out with them so then we can get you using Firefox like you want!
You don't want to downgrade to Firefox 10, as doing so will leave you open to several known security holes, plus bugs and other issues. You can reinstall Firefox 11 from www.getfirefox.com (all your personal data will be saved so long as you don't remove Firefox before hand), and see if that helps.
Try to start Firefox in Safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this: Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers.
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

I wrote a longer response - but went and clicked on the solved option on your reply and it trashed my response to you. Just quickly did it again, thanks.
