Question

I Had a need to use the the gps so I turned on the location services to do it and I noticed ( after returning the phone to normal ( no use of the gps apps) a few phone calls a day and a text or two a few calendar notifications etc that my 4s went from dropping from 100% at 8 am to say 75% at 8 pm to less than 20% at 8pm  when the gps was in use... Aside from being a touch amazed at how much juice the gps used i shrugged and turned the location services off and now the bat icon stays at 100% all day.
needless to say I don't trust this report I tried restarting the phone but the icon stays at 100%

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.
