As far as I know, FF doesn't store anything interesting in the 
registry. It seems you're using MS Outlook and I'll just assume that 
you're using Windows XP.

FF stores all your settings to your "profile". Pretty much all 
recent extensions install into your profile directory. Your profile 
directories will not be removed even if you uninstall the FF. You 
can create an another profile for FF without removing you existing 
one. See e.g. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments

If you're wondering where the profile is stored by default, then 
look here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile

No need to guess, just RTFM.
