  • Firefox will not let me uninstall and helper will not open either

    I cannot uninstall firefox through either add/remove programs or the firefox uninstall helper. Neither will open/operate. I get an hourglass for a split second like when a program will not work. Is there a way to get rid of firefox. I intend later to install, but I don't want to know how to do that now. I just want to get rid of it. I am signed on as administrator so that isn't the problem either.

    # Restart Windows.
    # Delete the Firefox installation folder. The default location is either of the following, depending on whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
    #* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    #* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
    # If you also want to remove all your Firefox personal data like bookmarks and passwords, first open Windows Explorer. Then paste the following into the address bar and press Enter. Delete those folders.
    #* %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    #* %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\

  • I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

    I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

    Akeenleyside,
    Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5?  I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.

  • Since we tried to upgrade Firefox, it keeps saying reboot computer, but it still won't work and it will not let me uninstall.

    We tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, but now all that pops up is a screen that says "your computer needs to reboot to complete an upgrade" but even after reboot, it still pops up everytime I try to open Firefox. It will not let me uninstall either. Firefox will not open at all.

    I got the same problem. I tried everyting.

  • I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
    right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
    now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website.  I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
     I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire.  Do you have any suggestions.......
    On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine.  But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
    I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since. 
    I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ...  all to no avail. Problem still exists.
    I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
    there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.
    NYCsDancer -- if its working via Internet Explorer, we can't help you much. Most of the time it has to do with Cookies, or your Java Version. I'd reach out to Google's forums for assistance with Chrome
    https://support.google.com/chrome/?hl=en#topic=3227046
    or Firefox support for assistance with Firefox

  • When loading gmail, firefox will not let me access my mail and redirects gmail to it's calendar

    After upgrading to firefox 3.6, Firefox will not let me access my gmail. When I open gmail it redirects to the google calendar . this occurs all the time
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after downloading to the latest version (3.6) of firefox

    I have the exact same problem. When I go to Gmail the page initially loads, but then will be redirected to the calendar page. This is a repeatable error and only started after upgrading to the latest version of Firefox.

  • Firefox will not let me get on any websites (safe AND not safe), claiming that it "may pose a security threat to your system"; when I try to choose the "proceed unprotected" option, it won't let me.

    My computer's anti-virus software recently expired. A few days later, I went to download a new anti-virus software . . . when I opened up Firefox, I received a warning that claimed Firefox was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen", and gave me two options: "Activate XP Security 2011 (recommended)" (this was a $60 charge and required credit card info) or "Continue unprotected (Dangerous)"
    Since I needed to install new anti-virus, I figured I would continue unprotected, download my new software quickly, and remove the virus. But when Firefox opened, it gave me a message saying: "Firefox alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!". Gave me three options:
    1. "Get a copy of 'XP Security 2011' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)"
    2. "Run a spyware, virus and malware scan" (I already did this)
    3. "Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
    I tried clicking on different links, but the same warning kept showing up, even on verified and safe sites. I tried to choose the third option so that I could download my anti-virus software quickly, but nothing happened when I clicked on it - the page reloads and the warning shows up again.
    My computer is still without anti-virus software because Firefox will not let me surf the internet. Please help!

    It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
    Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

  • None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks.  They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page.  I have checked all the newbie mistakes.  Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

    All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC.  Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro.  I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence.  This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself.  (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.)  I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail.  To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up.  Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

    Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks.  iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
    I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book.   I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing.  Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password.  Nothing else.
    I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me.  At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

  • When I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
    I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?

  • The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes on any website or in the url bar

    The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes or in the url bar. Usually if I click on the down arrow in the url bar, my most common websites pop up... now it won't show me them...
    It is also happening in any website I use via Fire fox. I don't have this problem with windows or Internet Explorer. Even the down arrow box below this.. asking "this happened" won't let me see the choices.. it just flashes by.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks
