I had responded that I was UnInstalling Firefox entirely!! when questioned during uninstall routine. I ran Fortect, after uninstall, and did a full re-fresh of my Windows 11 Pro installation.
The good news is that, even tho Firefox was difficult to uninstall??, eventually I removed it and all related folders. After a successful re-boot, I re-installed Firefox, and the progress bar actually moved across the screen, which it did not do before. After re-Install, Firefox returned to normal functionality, despite the headache of having to re-enter all of my passwords, once again. Good to have it back. Annoyed that it took so much effort?? Finally successful!!!

Shouldn't be that difficult, there's only like five folders.

Uninstall Firefox normally first, then delete these (see warnings after):
C:\ProgramData = one in there that starts "mozilla" then a series of numbers
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Maintenance Service
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Users\<yourusernamehere>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox
C:\Users\<yourusernamehere>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

⚠ You should not remove the "mozilla-" one in the "ProgramData" folder, or the "Mozilla Maintenance Service" one if you also have Thunderbird installed; it may stop working.

⚠ The location with "Roaming" in is where your personal Firefox data goes (bookmarks, history, passwords, addresses, credit-cards, extensions, and so-on). Only delete it if you've exported what you need first.
