I need to perform a new install and I would like to retain my personal information, book marks etc. I know that such info is stored separately and want to use it in the new install. How can I do it?

Your personal data is kept in your profile. This folder is normally left intact when uninstalling Firefox, unless you check the "Remove my Firefox personal data" option.

Also note that most problems with Firefox are contained in the profile folder. You can get a fresh start while retaining things like bookmarks and passwords by resetting Firefox.
