Re-installing Firefox will pick up your previous Bookmarks and Profiles along with any plug-ins/add-ons unless you manually wiped the entire Firefox folder.

Version 2.0.0.13 is out now.

I suggest saving your Bookmarks in their own folder from time to time. Go to Bookmarks menu and select "Organize Bookmarks...". Then go to File menu and select "Export ..." and select the path and folder to save your Bookmarks. Recommend saving on a thumbdrive.

You might want to get the add-on FEBE 5.3.1 which will back up everything about Firefox on a regular schedule.
