    Upgrade to FF 2, without having to download and install and get rid of FF 1? I updated my FF since FF 2 was released but it didn't upgrade to 2. Just to 1.5.8 or whatever version it was. I don't want to have to customise everything again so if there's a way I'd appreciate if anyone could let me know:)

    i think it keeps your profile with bookmarks, preferences, themes, extensions etc, so you won't lose anything by upgrading

    still if you want to back up your profile iirc it's stored in C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    Just install it over your existing installation. Some extensions/themes aren't compatible with v2 but the majority have been upgraded. FF will tell you which ones need to be ugraded. It will keep all preferences, bookmarks, settings etc for you.
