I want to install a fresh copy of FireFox do I have to uninstall the old copy first?
Some way I messed up Firefox when I installed then uninstalled a program. Now I can't find the Firefox home page. I want to re-install a fresh copy of Mozilla Firefox to cure the problem

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Thank you.
Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
The default Firefox home page is about:home and is selected automatically if you leave the home page setting blank.
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
Kudos to Tylerdowner your suggestion fixed my problem.
