For some reason, I usually read instructions before installing or updating software. Sometimes the instructions help and sometimes they are a waste of time. For the new update to FireFox, the instructions are clear:

All Systems
Prior to installing Firefox 1.0.2, please ensure that the directory you've chosen to install into is clean and doesn't contain any previous Firefox installations.

mozilla.org

Ed, glad it worked out. BTW, your preferences were never in danger, regardless of the method of updating.
