Firefox will not uninstall and I've tried everything

I downloaded firefox, and I am trying to uninstall it, and no box pops up saying that it is uninstalling. I have tried all the directions that this website has and none of them work. I have restarted my computer and it still will not uninstall. I'm starting to get sick of this quick and when I go to talk to tech support they tell they are closed. Not so great on customer service here and I need some answers and need them quick. I do not want firefox and wish to take it off and cannot. It has been nothing but trouble from day 1!

I keep trying to uninstall Firefox in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I keep getting a "firefox must be closed" error message and Firefox isn't even RUNNING. It flat out will NOT allow me to uninstall this program! Firefox used to be a good browser, but this SUCKS! I'll just stick to Internet Explorer. At least I don't have the problem with this damned searchnu.com/406 browser hijacker popping up in IE!

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Firefox will not start and I already tried ALL the suggestions.

Hi, Firefox is my favorite browser that I've been using for years and all of a sudden it won't start. I've already tried the following and it will not open at all, ever.
I'm on windows 7 and have never had a problem before.
1. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper.
2. Tried Safe mode.
3. I uninstalled, deleted the program files, restarted computer, reinstalled.
4. I disabled my anti-virus & spyware sweeper again and tried with fresh install.
5. I tried the Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe (Profile manager window didn't open, nothing happens)
I also tried "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
AND "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and nothing happened.
In between each try, I END PROCESS in my task manager. Even though a window never actually opens for any of these steps.
I'm at a loss and really need and would appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Jon

That didn't work either, but after everything, it turned out to be a recent adoble flash update. I uninstalled flash and now it works. I do need flash player though, so hopefully it works next time I reinstall... I will probably try it over the weekend and let you know.
Thanks for the help!

Firefox will not open and I've tried every solution suggested.

My computer got shut off in the middle of an update/upgrade and when I restarted I got a long error message, so I restored my computer back like 3 days, firefox just didn't open at all after that, no matter what way I try to open it. I have years worth of important bookmarks I can't lose, and I read that reinstalling doesn't fix anything, please help!

Hi,
If the data hasn't been corrupted due to disk corruption, you can try to take a backup of the needed files, reinstall Firefox and check. Hopefully the old data will be still there, otherwise you can use the backup to overwrite any files Firefox may have newly created. Your personal data are stored separately from the Firefox files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s backup]. The bookmarks and history are stored in the '''places.sqlite'''. You can also take a backup of the most recent file in the '''bookmarks''' folder.

ITunes Will Not Open and I have Tried Everything Posted...

Please Help!
I have downloaded the latest version, deleted it and tried again. I have deleted folders, turned off my Norton protection and still no go.
Can anyone here help me from this 7 hour nightmare? I had an iPod and iTunes on this computer before I traded in the old iPod and bought the new 30GB. Now the iTunes won't open and the PC doesn't recognize the iPod when I hook it up. Is there a solution??? It worked with the old one just yesterday, so why is there a problem today with the new unit?
HELP!!!

Did you install the software that came with your IPOD. You may need to install the "Updater" for that model IPOD before ITUnes will recognize it.

My iPod 5th generation will NOT sync and I've tried everything.

My iPod has done this before in the past but it seemed to fix itself after awhile and I had all my music again, now - nothing. I've made sure the 'Sync Music' button was clicked, tried it unclicked, tried to manually sync, click every box on the side or my near 1500 song list, I've updated it, deleted and redownloaded itunes, took off every song from my iPod and put it back on, restored my iPod, reverted to last backup but nothing seems to work anymore. Photos, apps, and everything else syncs, just NO music. Also, during syncing, it randomly gives me the option to 'apply' and 'revert' changes without having made any "changes" at all. Is my computer just screwed up? Note that this happened before but all I did to correct that was to click and unclick the 'sync music' button but that doesn't work anymore. I REALLY need help.

Try syncing it with a different computer. If it works correctly on another computer then the issue is your computer. If you get the same results on the other computer get the iPod serviced.

I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years. It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect. Can anyone please help?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
