Cannot uninstal FF and cannot access FF

OS Windows 7 (64 bit)s
Cannot access Firefox 31 via desktop (FF icon has a locked padlock) or via Control Panel......etc All I get is
a small window stating "Cannot load XPCOM".
Cannot uninstall FF....even using '\helper.exe'
Urgent help please.

A locked padlock overlay on icons on the desktop or in Windows Explorer means you're sharing that file with other users.
# Use Internet Explorer to download the Firefox installer from
#* https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
# Delete the Firefox installation folder, which by default is located at
#* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
# Run the installer you downloaded earlier. When you next start Firefox, it should work normally, complete with your personal data like bookmarks.
If the problem persists, see if the following article helps:

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

    Same problem. I have gone through the troubleshooting and downloaded a program to restore it, but I can't restore it because it's not recognized. So then I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but it didn't help at all. We've only had it 9 months. Looking for some help on this one cuz I think the warranty is only 6 months
    If you bought it from Apple then the warranty is 12 months.
    Take it to an Apple Store and ask for a repair / exchange.

  • I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but i cannot update it and or access my photos.  Help.  thanks.

    I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto.  but in update, it says i have no updates.   i dont even remember making changes in iphoto.Help.  thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • ICloud Mail issues: "Cannot Load Mail" and "Cannot Get Mail"

    I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to access iCloud Mail which is visible in two places:
      - on a iOS device (iPad and iPhone): when opening Mail.app and trying to check my iCloud Inbox:
          "Cannot Get Mail" "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."
       - on http://www.icloud.com: when clicking the Mail icon:
         "Cannot Load Mail" "Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." [Reload] [Report to Apple] [Close Mail]
    Oddly enough synching Contacts and Calendar items works fine on the iOS device (so username and password are obviously correct), and logging onto http://www.icloud.com using these credentials with use of all other application icons (Contacts, Calendar, Find my iPhone) seems to work also.
    I created a "free" me.com account to enable "Find my iPhone" when iOS 4 was released (which doesn't include mail), and already had a Apple ID. Presumably these got merged now, maybe contributing to the issue?
    iCloud is only available to me through the web or my iOS devices, I currently don't have Lion installed.
    Suggestions?

    I am in the exact same boat:
    I was a MobileMe subsciber who migrated to iCloud
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]; Apple ID [email protected]
    All iCloud services work as intended EXCEPT mail
    I can access iCloud Mail by:
    Mail.app in Lion
    When I access my iCloud mail on my iOS devices, I get "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."  I know for a fact the password is correct, and all other services work.
    When I access iCloud online, again all services EXCEPT mail work.  Here, I get the "Cannot Load Mail." message
    Has anyone resolved this; or is this an Apple issue?  This is driving me crazy.

  • When I try to migrate from 3.1.7 to 31.3.0 I see proof that everything transfered yet I cannot see accounts and cannot see emails.

    I recently had my network professionally upgraded to a domain server. The installer left me with Thunderbird 3.1.7 as he could not and did not install to the latest version (which I was using) as it just wouldn't work. My system is Windows 8.1 Pro and is 64 bit. When I upgrade to 31.3.0 and open Thunderbird my screen is essentially blank. I see none of my accounts on the left side and I can see no email. I see the tool bar at the top and can select those items. If I go to "Tools" and then "Account settings" I can see all my accounts and all seems to be set up correctly. Likewise I can see my address book. If a new email comes in I hear a "Ding" and see a notice in the lower left but cannot view any content. I can create an email. If I change back to 3.1.7 I can see everything, including emails that have come in while trying to wake up 31.3.0. I will return to the old version for now to read any help you may have to offer. Thank you.

    I have given up on a solution and it is probably best. I have so many emails that it would be beneficial all around if I started fresh without copying any emails at all. I would start fresh and hope to copy my address book, message filters and possible by folder structure to my fresh start. To that end I have made a new post asking how to freeze my current version and add a 2nd separate version to use from this point forward. Probably a much better choice as I have over 10 years of emails!!

  • Cannot change tools and cannot use selection or crop tools

    I am using Photoshop Extended CS6.  A new problem has started to occur recently.  I can select a tool, but I can't change the tool type. For example, I can select the Lasso Tool and when I right-click the tool fly-out appears, but I cannot select a tool from the fly-out to change the tool type.  The editing tools, at least the ones I can select, still work except for the selection and crop tools.  For the crop tool, the crop lines appear at the edge of the image but they cannot be moved.  For the selection tools, nothing is selected.  I can still use menu commands such as Canvas Size.
    This happens when I open a file or start a new file.  I have Windows 7, 4G memory and nothing else running.  I have tried 32-bt and 64-bit versions.
    This has happened intermittently for a month or two.  In the past, freeing up space on a hard drive seemed to help.  But now I have 50G free on one drive and 30G free on another so I don't see how that could be the problem.  Rebooting allows me to use the crop tool once, but then the problem reoccurs.
    Ideas, anyone?

    No keyboard macro programs installed.  Microsoft Security Essentials is installed.  It says it is up to date and there are no problems.  A keyboard test program found no problems. I have tried two USB keyboards with the same results  I have 10% free on my system drive: and 15% free on my second drive.
    More clues:
    If I open Photoshop by opening a file, the problem immediately occurs. If I open Photoshop and then open a file, it works until I press a key as described above.
    The problem only occurs in Photoshop. I’ve tried lots of other programs, including Premiere, Audition and Illustrator; they all work correctly.
    The problem can occur without a keyboard attached.  As I described above, if I switch to another application (Windows Explorer in my test) and then switch back, the problem occurs.  This is true even if there is no internal keyboard and no USB keyboard.

    ok I'm good to go.
    I had to uninstall QT first, used the Windows Installer clean up (found in another post) and used it to remove the iTunes installer left in the system.
    After uninstalling QT and using the Installer clean up, I then used the iTunes newer version to update and all is well. It even shows up in my Add/Remove programs now!
    PHEW! Panic attack.
    :P
    You can delete this thread if you like, Mods. My problem is cleared now.

  • On my netbook, I installed Firefox 4.0.1 from the Firefox web page. Now The netbook cannot open Firefox and cannot get onto the internet. System restore doesn't work. What can I do?

    At the end of the installation process, I received the message that (some applications?) were not compatible with Firefox and should Firefox search for (some applications?) that would be compatible. I answered no. When the netbook restarted only one of the two user icons was showing. The user icon I use all the time was not showing. I did system restore to try to go back to before I did the installation and I got both icons, but Firefox does not open. Firefox does not open with either icon. I am using my old PC to write this message and I will not install the new version of Firefox on this PC until I can once again get onto the Net with my netbook. I hardly ever use this PC for using the Net.
