I have XP, Firefox will open but not to full operating status. It just stalls and then crashes. I believe it 52.5.3 How can I uninstall and reinstall without losing bookmarks and passwords.

Thx

Hello, since your bookmarks and passwords are stored in your profile, which is not deleted when uninstalling, you can safely reinstall Firefox without losing anything.
