I seem to remember having that problem one time..yes...
first did you reinstall it with the same installer as the first time?
If you did then uninstall again...

*Open up Internet Explorer and Go to here http://www.mozilla.com
and download their latest Edition and Install it again with that copy...
If that doesn't work then try updating software....

I can't stand using Internet Explorer I myself have been using Mozilla Firefox for about a year now...I love it

You can even go to their website and download Themes for firefox to change the appearance i am using the Theme NASA Nightlaunch it's pretty cool you will see the links on their homepage at the very top right of the screen..click on ADD-ONs then on the left side of the screen you will see more links click on the one that says THEMES there are some cool themes in there...

Or you need to completely uninstall FF, you will need to delete your Profile folder.
This file is not removed when you uninstall Firefox from Add/Remove.
It will retain all of your previous settings, and re-apply them to your new install, if it's not deleted.
That's why, when you install a new version of Firefox, your previous settings, bookmarks, passwords, etc., all remain the same.
For a Fresh (start from scratch) install, this folder has to be removed.

Here's how to manually uninstall Firefox, including the Profile folder:

Set windows to show hidden files,

Uninstall your current version of Firefox from Add/Remove programs.
Then navigate to:
C:\ Documents and Settings \ "your user name" \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles
Delete the Profiles folder (or send it to the Recycle Bin as a backup).
Then navigate to:
C: \ Program Files \ Mozilla Firefox, and delete that folder.

Then reinstall Firefox.
