    <h3 class="expander-header">Installing</h3>
    <div class="expander-content">
      <p>Please note that installing Firefox&nbsp;3.6 <em>will
      overwrite</em> your existing installation of Firefox.
      You won’t lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history,
      but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work
      until updates for them are made available. You can reinstall an
      older version later if you wish to downgrade.</p>

  <div id="uninstall" class="expander expander-odd">
      <h3 class="expander-header">Uninstalling</h3>
      <div class="expander-content">
        <p>You can remove Firefox&nbsp;3.6 through the <span class="location-item">Control Panel</span>
           in the <span class="location-item">Start Menu</span> on Windows, by removing the
           <span class="location-item">Firefox</span> application on OS X, or by removing the
           <span class="location-item">firefox</span> folder on Linux.</p>
        <p>By default, removing Firefox&nbsp;3.6 won’t remove your bookmarks,
           web browsing history, extensions or other add-ons. This data is
           stored in your <em>profile folder</em>, which can be found by going
           to the <em>Help</em> menu and selecting <em>Troubleshooting
           Information...</em>. The button next to the <em>Profile
           Directory</em> line in <em>Application Basics</em> will open your
           profile directory in your system's file explorer.</p>
        <p>Please note that if you keep your profile, any version of Firefox
           that you install after removing Firefox&nbsp;3.6 will continue to
           use the bookmarks, web browsing history, add-ons, and other data
           from this profile folder.</p>

         When you install Firefox&nbsp;3.6 all of your Extensions and Themes will be
         disabled until Firefox&nbsp;3.6 determines that either a) they are compatible
         with the Firefox&nbsp;3.6 release or b) there are newer versions available that

    <h3 class="expander-header">Troubleshooting</h3>
    <div class="expander-content">
      <ul class="spaced">
        <li>
          Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with your browser,
          including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If you encounter strange
          problems relating to parts of the browser no longer working, the browser not
          starting, windows with strange or distorted appearance, degraded performance, etc,
          you may be suffering from Extension or Theme trouble.
          Restart the browser in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the "Safe Mode" shortcut created in your
          Start menu or by running <code>firefox.exe -safe-mode</code>. On Linux,
          start with <code>./firefox -safe-mode</code> and on Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X, run:
          <p><code>
            cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/<br />
            ./firefox-bin -safe-mode
          </code></p>

          When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default theme is
          used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and then start normally.
        </li>
        <li>
          If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile (i.e.
          you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all user profiles
          using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you must restart the
          browser once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of traces of that
          extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do this you may end
          up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be unable to install
          the extension globally.
        </li>
        <li>
          If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window
          placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you try
          creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before filing
          bugs. Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line
          argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create
          Profile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc) over
          one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you do
          find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and attach
          the file.

        <li>
          Where’s the Firefox&nbsp;3.6 source code?
          <p>A tarball of the Firefox&nbsp;3.6 source code is available for <a href="http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.11/source/">download</a>.
             The latest development code can be obtained through <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_(Mercurial)">Mercurial</a>.
