I can't uninstall Firefox from my computer. I have XP and go to Add or Remove programs, but when I click on Firefox, it just sits there!

My tech guy told me to uninstall Firefox and I've tried about 5 times now, but it won't go away.

What kind of problems do you have that you need to uninstall or possibly reinstall Firefox ?
Most problems are not solved by reinstalling Firefox, but are caused with problems with the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

    Yes, you require an internet connection.
    Launch DW
    Choose Help --> Deactivate
    Uninstall using the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
    Download the installer from the Adobe site directly or using this method
    Install it on the new machine

  • When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar.

    When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar. Can't get it to maximize. Please help.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • How can I uninstall ePrint from my computer?

    I downloaded ePrint for Windows 8 and now I cannot print. This is ridiculous! My printer is an HP Laserjet P1006 and when I try to print a document, my printer doesn't even come up as an option. My printer does not support ePrint. I want things back to what they used to be. I am really angry at this and HP for ruining this. Please someone help me. I need to uninstall ePrint from my computer.
    This question was solved.

    @eprintsucks 
    If HP ePrint is not showing up in your Uninstall a Program window then follow these instructions:
    1. Open devices and printers folder.
    2. Right click on the HP ePrint printer > On the pop up menu, click remove device.
    3. Highlight any other printer in the folder > go to the top task bar > click on Print Server Properties
    4. The Print Server Properties Dialogue box will open up. Click on the Ports Tab.
    5. Click on Change Driver Settings (box at the very bottom left) > find the HP ePrint driver. (screenshot shots both steps)
    5. Click Remove > Remove Driver and Package Dialogue box will open up > Click on Remove Driver and Driver Package.
    This should complete the uninstall process for you.

    I have an Iphone 4s 32gb and i'm trying to update it to ios 5.1. i've downloaded the software from itunes but when i click on it to install it to my actual phone it says: "There was a problem downloading the software for Iphone 'Donnbjj1's Iphone' . An unknown error occurred (1480)."

    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    For error -50: See error 13 and 14: 
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

  • How can I uninstall mozilla from my computer I can not do it from my uninstall program

    When I signed on to my computer Mozilla Fire Fox will not come up therefore not able to get into my favorites or anything. I do not know what happened and I can not uninstall from my computer and need to get it off so hopefully I can reinstall and get it to work.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

    I also have the same issue with McAfee SiteAdvisor and FF4 on a MacBook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have put in a service request with McAfee and will update this post in approx 48 hours unless they respond sooner.
