Firefox won't run, but says it is when I try to unistall it - Win 7 task manager says it isn't..how can I get around this to uninstall it?

I have been trying to open a browser window with Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2 (x86 en-US). It won't run, however, when I try to uninstall the program, it says I have to close firefox first. Win 7 task manager does not show the program as running.
I tried again, and still get the same message from Firefox. I checked the task manager again, not running. Tried running it - won't run. Tried uninstall, got the same message, close firefox before trying to uninstall - firefox isn't running!
I would appreciate any help that you could give me. I want to use firefox, especially since it is the browser that opens Webkinz correctly for my grandkids.

In the task manager, are you looking at Processes? That is where you find Firefox listed when you see no interface, not in Applications.
This page might have some useful information about that problem.

  • I'm trying to download itunes 10 but I get to a point in the download and it tells me, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" but I haven't had itunes on my computer for a year now so how can I get around this?

    Perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

    Quoted from their FAQ's:
    I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
    There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    - You have deleted your account.
    When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
    - You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature.

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

  • Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy certain apps thru iTunes. I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this. Thanks

    Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this?

    If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
    And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    You can't get around it. It must be restore using iTunes on a computer. If you don't have access to one, make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.

    No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
    Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
    Do you hav ean external drive?
    If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
    Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
    Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
    Restart the computer
    Then post back.

  • Frequently when I open Firefox it says Firefox is already running but is not responding. I have to go to the task manager, find Firefox and close the process before I can get firefox to load.

    Those are all the details I have

  • Firefox won't update from 3.0.8 to 3.5 and I have installed 3.5 3 times now. How can I get it to install?

    I had at one time installed 4.0 but found that the addons I use won't work, so I tried to go back to a older version. I first went back to 3.0.8 so I could find the proper version I wanted and then I noticed I could go up to 3.5. I downloaded 3.5 and installed it 3 times now and firefox still says it's running 3.0.8.
    How do I get it to update?

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers
    Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

    If you keep having problems then do a clean reinstall of the Firefox 3.6.9 version<br />

    You can 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.

  • I need to run Java 6, not 7. Mozilla keeps wanting me to intstall plugin for 7. How can I get around this.

    I need to run a program called Niagara. It will not run with Java 7 so I have uninstalled 7 and re-installed 6. Now, mozilla wants me to install a plugin in order to run the program. When I click install plugin, it takes me to the java site and wants me to download 7.

    Do you get any Java error or security messages?
    There has been a change in the Java security settings, see:

  • Why is it i am trying to sync my music to my iPhone but it says i have not authorised the computer, but i have authorised it. how can i get around this?

    why is it when i am trying to syc my music to my iphone but it says i have authorised my laptop...but i have authorised it!
    how do i stop this and get my music onto my iphone?

    If you look at the details of the error message displayed on your computer, iTunes will show you which songs and account(s) have not been authorized on your computer.
    Songs from other people's iTunes accounts are usually the culprit. These songs can be added to your iTunes library by file sharing software, or by perhaps by your friends trying to share music with you.
    If you don't recognize the iTunes account that purchased the unauthorized songs, you should probably get rid of them or investigate other (probalby not very legal) methods for working around the problem.

  • I am trying to download Firefox 3.6 but Internet Explorer interupts the download because it lacks a digital signature and may be unsafe. How can I get past this?

    Don't have anymore details. Internet Explorer won't allow me to complete the download. It does not give me any option, just shuts it down.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 7 and started the Wizard but am continualy told that I have an older version that needs to be removed and have to reboot? How can I get around this?

    My OS is Windows 7. I want to change from IE to Firefox. After selecting the standard installation I am told that I must reboot to remove an older version of Firefox. This is as far as I have been able to get. I have downloaded 3 times now and rebooted 4. Any ideas?

    Hi Swarnava,
    I followed your two links to try to solve this problem but still ended up with a re-boot request to remove an earlier version which I don't have. I have not downloaded Firefox and set it up yet so I have nothing to remove! I have checked my programs via Control Panel too, nothing. Stuck!

  • My laptop (HP Pavilion) will not allow me to upgrade or download Firefox without logging in as Administrator, and I don't recall ever setting up a password for Administrator...I'm the only user of the laptop. How can I get around this?

    I was trying to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox, and when I downloaded it, and clicked on run, it took me to a login box, where I had to choose whether to continue as current user or login as Administrator. When I clicked on continue as current user, nothing happened. When I tried logging on as Administrator, I used all the passwords I could think of that I use and nothing was accepted. Id on't recall ever setting up a password for Adminstrator on this computer, so I don't know what to do. I even deleted the older version of Firefox thinking that might help, but it didn't work either, and now I don't even have that! Help!

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
