Removed all instances of previous Firefox versions and cleaned all known
instances in registry.  Redownloaded setup file and completed setup without
incident.  Using it now.  Registry cleaning was done automatically with trial
program of TuneUp Utilities 2004.  Maybe this was the fix needed as not sure
whether setup file has been updated otherwise.
