Success! Finally. Total time (to date) to transfer 5 programs to my new
laptop and get them functional: 27 hours . It shouldn't be this hard.
Solving this problem accounts for well over half the time.
What finally worked was a third uninstall and reinstall, bare bones (no
optional reporting back to Mozilla , or anything else that was extra) run as
an administrator, and changing "Mozilla Firefox" to "Firefox" every time
"Mozilla Firefox" came up as a suggested name. Since each of these suggested
remedies had been individually tried before, I'm not sure what it was about
the combination finally fixed it - but I thought I'd share what worked in
case anyone else has this same problem.
