    I have done the same process with google chrome

    The Firefox uninstaller asks you to close Google Chrome?? That's strange. I assume you have closed ALL browser windows when that happens.
    I should ask: why do you need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox? This usually doesn't fix problems with Firefox. Maybe check out this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

  • Do I need to uninstall the old Firefox before installing the new version?

    I really don't have any problems with Firefox, just trying to find out if it is necessary to uninstall Firefox 4, before installing the new version?

    no, in fact, it's better to update it instead of installing the new one separately so that you don't loose your bookmarks and such.
    To update, open firefox and go to Help and chose About Firefox. you should see an update button there.

  • Need to uninstall/re-install Firefox but it tells me I must close Firefox first. But it IS closed. What do I do?

    Been having trouble with AT&T internet. Had to re-install. Now, I can access internet through Explorer but not Firefox. Told I have to uninstall Firefox and then re-install it. But half-way through the uninstallation Wizard, it tells me I have to first close Firefox before it can continue. But it IS closed. ???? So what do I do? Why does it think it is open?

    Please immediately back up your profile and put it somewhere safe outside of Firefox and profile paths (Your Desktop will do fine).
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    That ensure that you preserve whatever information that you do have.
    It appears that you have not previously done anything to backup bookmarks yourself. I am thinking of manual backups or syncing to a second device.
    *[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    *[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
    Do not blindly do bookmark backup restores as that overwrites any current files with files of speculative / no value. Before you attempt to restore any bookmarks file always make a manual backup of the current one, or you may just make the situation worse. The Windows restore points may not always be effective and if they are it is rather a sledgehammer and nut approach.
    It is possible looking for previous versions of the file ''places.sqlite'' may help. That is a database file in your profile that contains the bookmarks.
    *[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]] <br/>As explained in the article using the troubleshooting option exposes a button that is the easiest method of finding and opening the profile.
    The profile also contains a folder of some automatically created bookmark backups. I have already asked above that you backup the whole of this.
    I am not sure what you did exactly that caused the loss of bookmarks. If you reformat a hard disk that destroys everything. If you reinstall Firefox and use any option to remove personal information again bookmarks will be lost.

  • Uninstall Labview after Silently installation

    I installed Labview 7.1 using the silently installation and I need to do an uninstall like this (Using a .BAT file), for the Silently installation I used the Spec files attached.
    In order to have a complete custom installation I also had to run separate the device drivers setup with its own spec file.
    I already tried to uninstall using this same spec files changing for each feature to = Absent (This is suppose to remove if installed) but it doesn't completely uninstall. The Data Socket and the NI Spy remain.
    Thank you in advance

    Hello EJPEREZ,
    After further investigation, it appears that DataSocket is still present on the system because the LabVIEW Runtime Engine is still installed. To verify this, open the control panel, double-click on add/remove programs, select National Instruments Software, click on change and you will see a list of National Instruments Software that is installed on the computer. You can use this method to find out which NI Software product is leaving NI Spy on your computer as well.
    Uninstalling the LabVIEW Runtime Engine will remove DataSocket from your computer. The way to do this from the command line is to use msiexec and the LabVIEW Runtime Engine MSI file. The command will look something like "path:\>msiexec /quiet /uninstall lvruntimeeng.msi" depending on your preferences and file locations. MSIexec is a Microsoft Windows utility and you can get more information about it on there website (http://www.microsoft.com). If you need more information about the commmand line parameters for msiexec, just type in "msiexec" in the command line and hit the "enter" key. The LabVIEW Runtime Engine msi can be found on your installation cd in the "components\lvruntimeeng\" folder.
    Make sure you run this command AFTER you do the core uninstallation using the "setup.exe LVspect.txt /q" operation. Then you can use msiexec to uninstall the program that is leaving NI Spy on your computer.
    I hope this helps,

  • Strange problems: Need to repair permissions after new installation

    Hello, we installed a PowerMac G5, which is running as a web server (4D). After we installed the OS X (10.4.9/PPC) and a few days running the machine did have problems starting up as usual. The machine did hang when trying to start up.
    We could startup from an external CD. Apple's disk utility reported thousands of files needed to be repaired. We repaired all of the permissions and had the startup problem again. We switched to another computer, a Mac mini (G4). The same problem (again repaired tons of permissions).
    We also used Apple's Hardware Check Disk. Nothing found! Alsoft's Disk Warrior only show us a few files which had the wrong encoding.
    The web server and its data are running/stored on a different volume (second partition).
    We totally do have three computers with the same problems. We are running 4th Dimension, Retrospect 6.x, Share Points, Pure FTP and Mac OS X 10.4.9. We are running several web servers with the same configuration except another Mac OS X version (e.g. 10.3.9)
    Does anybody know this problem and how to solve?

  • How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

    Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

    Annette,
    #In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
    # Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
    #Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
    #The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
    If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
    You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

  • I still cannot view flash players in firefox after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and flash multiple times. how do i fix this issue perminantly?

    I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you

    Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

  • I have windows vista. i downloaded firefox - now I need to uninstall and I cant seem to be able to. how do I uninstall and go back to windows 9 like I was befo

    I list my pets on petfinders. it came up that my edition of windows exlorer 9 would not work and to go wtih firefox. I downloaded firefox and now it wont work and I need to uninstall but cant seem to be able to- how do I uninstall so can go with the windows version

    The uninstall instructions for Firefox are here
    *[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
    However <s>Firefox is obviously working, and </s>it does no harm to have more than one browser on a computer. In fact it can be a distinct advantage. For instance it allows you to use the alternative browser if the primary one has a fault.
    Maybe what you are in fact trying to do is to set Internet Explorer (IE) as the default browser again, so that for instance the IE icons appear on some files and links. You can do that from IE
    * see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-10
    * if you do; or do NOT, want Firefox as the default browser also note the information here [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]

  • Do i need to uninstall my current version of firefox to install firefox 4

    do i need to uninstall my current version of firefox 3.6.16 to install the NEW firefox 4 ?????

    if you have only one OS on your pc. the answer is NO. but you may encounter some problem there. so to avert that, you can do a complete uninstall for the previous version of firefox 3.6.x

  • Do I need to uninstall previous version of Firefox before installing new version?

    I am worrried about installing new version (3.6.13 ) since old version (3.0.15) is working o.k. Can you advise?

    When you install a release version of Firefox (current version is 3.6.15), it will by default replace the existing version. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.
