asked to reboot to complete install stuck, will not go away, can not use Firefox, can not uninstall, windows based
I chose to delay reboot
Rebooted later
When trying to use Firefox it ask for reboot
Stuck in a loop

I thought I would copy your other post ([/questions/887645] )

Let me rephrase in question.
locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/88761 - please edit your original question instead of starting a new thread | 
I installed Firefox 6.0.2 on a Windows Server 2003 box. This box is a terminal server with 9 users that are going to use Firefox. The other users are going to use IE. When asked to reboot now or later, I chose Later. After sometime I rebooted, the message "you need to reboot in order to complete the install" reappears. Over and over again. Can not uninstall (same message) Can not open Firefox (same message) Many reboots using various users, the same results.
Help!

The question appears to relate more to the OS than be a firefox problem, but as I have never used Windows Server 2003, I am unable to help.

Elements 10 Suddenly will not open. Should I uninstall/deactivate and re-install or will I never be able to use it again? On windows 7 using parallels on Macbook Pro and never had this problem ever.

I ran trouble shooting and conflicts. It now keeps wanting me to switch to a different windows OS rather than 7 which is what I am running and how it worked previously. The only thing I have done in the last several days that may have freaked it out is downloading flash because my flash kept crashing in google chrome (i did days of trouble shooting before doing this. Thanks to Adobe I've used up about 4 days of non productive trouble shooting and now this!). It simply doesn't open anymore - not even an error message.
Just wanted to confirm that the next step should be deinstall/deactivate and then try to reinstall. But worried Adobe has rigged it so that only works if reinstalling on a different computer. Should I anticipate any problems in un & re install?

eventually prompts to select which version to use.
That person is misreading the prompt. It merely tells you that if you DO want to uninstall old versions, you should stop the install now and go do that first because the installer won't do it (and you really don't have to--you can uninstall later if you decide you no longer need the old version). It never says you MUST pick a version, although many people misread it to mean that.

My printer will not print the web pages using firefox...how do I set it up to print a web page?

I have an hp photosmart c4180 printer and it will not print the web pages in firefox...how exactly do I set up FF so I can print web pages? I will need step by step instruction also on exactly where to go to set it up.

Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock), then open Print & Scan
Click the + button at the bottom of the printer list
If your printer appears....not all printers are supported....click on the name to highlight it
Click the Add button to install the printer at the AirPort Express location
Try to print. You must choose the correct printer at the AirPort Express location since the printer is "installed" at other locations on your network.
If you open Print & Scan again, and select the printer at the AirPort Express, there is an option to make the printer the "default" location, so you do not have to choose which location to select when you want to print.

I have tried several times to install Firefox. It simply does not function. I have used it many times before Windows 7. Any suggestions?

I have tried many times to install Firefox. It installs but will not connect to the internet. I have I.E. Opera and Chrome in use so it's not my connection. I have used Firefox many times in the past, why is it not working currently. I have Windows 7 as an operating system and running Norton 360.

Can I use a digital download of Windows 8.1 to install Windows in the Windows partition created in Boot Camp or do I need the Windows 8.1 DVD physical copy to do the Windows 8.1 installation?

Hi,
I used a digital copy of Windows 8.1 to install it through Boocamp. It was the MSDN version of Win 8.1.

Installing LR on a Mac computer after having used the license on a Windows PC

Hey guys,
I just got my copy of LR yesterday after having used the trial version for a while. I'm using LR on a Windows computer, but I'm considering switching to an iMac some time from now. Will I still be able to use the same copy of LR on that computer, perhaps after uninstalling the software from my Windows pc?

And no need to uninstall. Lightroom doesn't use the Photoshop method of keeping track of your installs. You are on the honour system here, and you're allowed two installs, anyway.

I do not plan to buy a new computer. Will I still be able to use Firefox on my MacMini PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11?

Your company has said it will no longer provide updates or support for older OS and PowerPCs. I want to know if I need to use another web browser that will be compatible with my MacMini PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11. I am not planning to purchase another "updated" computer just to be able to use Firefox, so I need to know my options. Computers are too expensive to replace if they are still in good condition and mine is still working for me.

I think the supports end latest days of April, see if you like, TenFourFox (from Mac Users) for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I cannot logoff from yahoo email account in the Firefox Browser. I have installed another browser and can successfully logoff. Do you have a fix so I can continue using Firefox?

I have tried several times to reboot but when I logon to Firefox then to my Yahoo email account it will not let me logoff. I have installed a different web browser and my yahoo email account works fine including a successful logoff. Help!

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Can you use and iso version of windows 7 64 bit to install windows through bootcamp?

I saw windows 7 64 bit online cheap and it was and iso. If I put it on a disc, could I use it to install windows through bootcamp?

You can use the iso direct from Bootcamp assistant and put it on a USB if your Mac has the ability to boot from a USB flash drive.
If your Mac has a built in cd drive you will need to burn the iso to disc (as an image) and use that to boot from.

I'm using the latest version but it won't let me install Adblock Plus because it thinks I'm using Firefox 2.0. Youtube also thinks I'm using an old version.

I've tried updating Firefox several times, and I just completely uninstalled it, then installed it again.

You have a corrupted user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/2.0.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page. 
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. 
Filter: general.useragent 
If any general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose Reset.
