Can I uninstall Firefox if I don't like it or it doesn't solve the ad ware problem I am having with IE 8.0?

I have not installed Firefox 3.6 yet. Can I uninstall it if it doesn't solve my security issue (being swung from ebay logon page to some bullshit page prompting me for Name, Credit Card etc...) on IE 8.0.

Jim, Yes, Firefox can be uninstalling just as any other Windows application can be uninstalled.

  • If I upgrade to mountain lion can I uninstall it if I don't like it

    If I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and I don't like Mountain Lion, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and be asured that my IOS Lion will function and be ok?

    You can't uninstall an OS. You can only erase and re-install the previous OS. You would also need a backup of your previous data.

  • How can I uninstall firefox 4 and return to the version prior?

    I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and return to the prior version. how can I do this?

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems

    I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
    As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
    Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.

    Known issue, See:

    this issue maybe fixed in beta/ nightly, you should try it

  • Can't uninstall firefox beta release on Windows XP as you discribe

    I can't uninstall Firefox 8 beta on my Windows XP as you describe. It appears "''Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?''" Rebooting does not solve the problem. When installing a new version the same message appears. When checking for updates appears "''Firefox is up to date''".
    Please advice. Many thanks in advance.
    [email protected]

    I found the following on that error message here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#Computer_must_be_restarted_message_after_Firefox_upgrade
    '''Computer must be restarted message after Firefox upgrade'''
    If you see a message similar to ''Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox'' after a major update (e.g., from Firefox 3.6 to 8.0) and restarting the computer doesn't help: On Windows, open the Mozilla Firefox installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox or, on 64-bit Windows, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox) and delete the file "firefox.exe.moz-upgrade". If you still can't start Firefox, do a clean reinstall (use another browser to download the Firefox installer from www.mozilla.org/firefox and, after first removing the Mozilla Firefox installation directory, reinstall Firefox).
    The above refers to an error attempting to start Firefox but the same solution might work for errors when attempting to uninstall Firefox (delete the file '''firefox.exe.moz-upgrade''' from the folder where Firefox is installed, then run the uninstaller.) See also [[Uninstalling Firefox]].

  • I can't uninstall firefox

    I can't uninstall firefox..
    If i go to control panel or helper.exe i get this message:
    "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade from firefox. Do you want to restart now?"
    picture: http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1850/messagebi.png (It's dutch)
    Even if i restart my computer then i still get the same message..
    And if i want to install the newest firefox i also get that message.
    I just want to re-install firefox because i can't upgrade.. So i just want a clean firefox again.

    If you can't uninstall Firefox via the Windows Control Panel then try to remove the Firefox program folder on the hard drive.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that makes it possible to uninstall Firefox or remove the files.

  • How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial?  During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

    How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial?  During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

    Thanks for your help.  I cannot open the application (Acrobat XI) because I did not buy it.  Every time I want to open a .pdf, I have to remember to take the extra step of going to "open with" and then select "Acrobat X".  When I forget to do that, the XI "default" opens a window that gives me another chance to buy XI -- that's what I want to get rid of.  Another approach (perhaps?) would be to change to default setting from "Adobe XI" to Adobe X"  (the way it was before I tried the XI trial).  But I don't know how to do that.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4, but don't like it. I want to go back to the previous edition

    I downloaded Firefox 4, but don't like it. I want to go back to the previous version. I don't like having the bookmarks over on the right after all this time of having them on the left and I don't like the way the cursor won't autosnap to buttons the way they used to. I don't have a question other than how to go back to the previous version.

        No worries, agoetz. You can change your voicemail feature any time you'd like. Just log into My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc and select Change Features. There's a voicemail section to pick from all the different voicemail options available for your phone.

  • Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

    What are you getting on the TV?  Are you getting a completely blank screen, or are you getting a message similar to 'no input detected'?  Or are you seeing the spiral galaxy desktop?  If you go into System Preferences -> Displays then do you have an 'Arrangements' tab?

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

    Hi,
    If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD.  Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
    Windows 7 32bit
    Windows 7 64bit
    You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, or if you already have this, tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Insert the Rescue CD.  Select Boot options ( usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    When loaded, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.
    Bootrec.exe
    bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
    c:
    cd boot
    attrib bcd -s -h -r
    ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
    bootrec /RebuildBcd
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.
