Can't uninstall Firefox using the Control Panel

No really good reason, but I'll install it back someday

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine.  .

    I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium.  When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges.  I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges.  Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

  • How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

    I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

    For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
    What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

  • How do I delete or remove Hotspotshield completely from Firefox? I already deleted it using the control panel programs & features function.

    I tried to delete Hotspot shield using the control panel function. Now it keeps showing up when ever I am using Firefox. I tried deleting the tool bar for it. But, it keeps coming back. it will show up on different accounts when I change pages. Like when I log onto the Telus account to pay bill.
    So how do I get this removed from my computer completely?

  • How to restore previous session using the control panel

    I have tried all pathways through firefox with no results. There is a way to restore previous session using the control panel. I tried it before and it worked but I forgot to write down the pathway and lost this method. Does anyone know it?
    thank you

    I can't think of anything useful in the Windows Control Panel, but perhaps you were using the System Restore feature? As a shortcut for that, you could try the Previous Versions tab of the Properties dialog for sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak.
    First, I recommend backing up your current sessionstore files.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Copy sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). If you cannot see those file extensions, try this Microsoft support article: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
    Then right-click sessionstore.js, click the Previous Versions tab, and see what is available.

  • I am trying to download the newest Itunes to windows 7. I did have a previous version that I used the control panel to delete. When I click on download, I get a small partial window in the upper left corner showing Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Web

    I did have a previous version of Itunes and Quicktime that I used the control panel Uninstall to remove. When I do the download, I get a small window in the upper left saying Internet Explorer Cannot Display Webpage. It is trying to get to ....itunes64setup.  I did check to see that all old Apple directorories, etc have been delete. Help!

    Okay. Let's see if you've acquired some kind of restriction for the download site. These settings checks/changes apply to the IE downloads, so we'll be trying to use IE again.
    Head into your Internet Options control panel, and click the Security tab. Click Restricted Sites.
    Check to see if the following website is listed as a restricted site:
    appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    If it is, remove it from your list of restricted sites and try another download.
    If still no joy, head back into the security tab of the Internet Options control panel. Click Trusted Sites this time. Click the "Sites" button.
    Add appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net as a trusted site. Uncheck the "Require server verification" box. Now click OK and try another download.

  • Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. iTune out??

    Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.
    Any ideas would be welcomed.
    Thank you.

  • Cannot uninstall Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1, downloaded two days back using the control panel or the Revo Uninstaller.

    I had downloaded Mozilla Firefox 2 days back, overriding the existing version 3.6.13.
    But I find the new version rather unusable. I am very familiar with the FF 3.6 version, which I have been using over 2 years. Hence I would like to revert back to the earlier version 3.6.13.
    Mozilla Help informed that I should first uninstall version 4.x and then reinstall the earlier version.''But I am unable to find the version 4.x, either through the Control Panel or through the program Revo Unistaller'''. '''How can I proceed to restore back the earlier version 3.6?'''

    '''@jef001 :'''
    Thanks for your helpful answer. However, now after a few trials and errors in using FF 4.0.1, I have got the hang of using the same fairly well and I shall continue with the same .
    '''@Editor:'''
    Thanks for your comments . I think that my wording in the question has caused some ambiguity. Actually, I updated using the Mozilla FF Help menu only. I was trying to '''uninstall''' the new version using the Revo Uninstaller, as I did not find the FF 4.0.1 in the Windows Uninstall List, and not '''installing''' it through Revo Uninstaller. However, my above reply to jef001, should clear up the issue of my continuing with FF 4.0.1 .

  • How to pass argument to the Java Plugin JVM w/o using the Control Panel?

    I want to deploy an applet to be loaded by the Java Plug In
    and fix some settings of its Java Virtual Machine.
    The JPI Control Panel offers two ways to pass arguments to the JVM,
    none satisfactory.
    1. while interactive via the Control Panel Window.
    This cannot be a solution for a deployed applet.
    or
    2. by editing the system generated file that stores
    the settings of the Plugin Control Panel, using a property
    named javaplugin.jre.params.
    The problem with this method is that if forces to access
    and edit this property file which is stored at various locations
    depending the client platform. Then, it may collide with other
    settings for other applets.
    Is there a way to pass the arguments to the JVM
    from within the html file?
    Has anyone found a solution to this question?
    JPS

    I am interested in this issue as well.
    Did anyone find a reliable way to specify the runtime parameters that should be used by the Java Plug-in in order to execute a given Java applet?
    I believe a good place to specify these runtime parameters would be the applet's JAR manifest: only digitally signed applets should be able to set the desired runtime parameters...
    Any comments / suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Marco.

  • I have iCloud installed on my PC, but can't find it in the control panel.

    I have downloaded and installed the app twice.  The directions given by Apple say to look at Network and Internet in the control panel, but there is nothing named that in Windows 7.  I've looked in Network and Sharing, Internet Options, Remoteapp and Desktop Connections--the most obvious substitutions--and none of them show iCloud.  What should I do next?

  • I don't want Yahoo as my Firefox search engine; I want Google!! How do I get Yahoo out of my computer cause I can't find it in the control panel. It's like Yahoo's a Virus!!! AAAHHH

    Yahoo infiltrated my computer by downloading a free program that i realized was no good. removed the program since, however yahoo is still here and replaced my google search engine on firefox. I can't find it on add/remove programs on my PC and it's driving me nuts. I now have to use google chrome. I miss my google firefox I've removed Firefox and re-downloaded it and it doesn't help. please help me

    I just discovered a solution! Go to the upper right hand corner in Firefox where the search bar is. Click on the icon and you'll get a drop-down menu. Go to "manage search engines". You can then delete all the no-good ones, like Bing and Yahoo.
