How can I remove Mozilla Firefox.lnk

It causes my to lockup, and will not restart in diagnoses it shows as a defective patch

What is "Mozilla Firefox.lnk" (a quick web search gives results relating to download torrents and malware.)
*Is it something you deliberately installed?
So I am guessing it is either a plugin or application installed on Windows, or is malware.
Do any of these articles help

  • How can i install mozilla firefox on my iBook G4

    How can i install mozilla firefox on my iBook G4

    The mozilla-derived Firefox-based browser known as Tenfourfox does a fair job and is about due for code upgrade near the end of  this year from version 17 to version 24. Tenfourfox can run in Tiger 10.4.11 + Leopard 10.5.8.
    http://www.tenfourfox.com/
    I have & use both Tenfourfox + SeamonkeyPPC versions in my PPC G4 Macs. (My third choice is iCab...)
    These both play well together and can be run simultaneosly without odd effects, unlike what can happen if you were to run the original Firefox and then launch Tenfourfox; as those share resources. I use SeaMonkey PPC for my web mail login via google Notifier, and have that set as the default browser through use of Safari's preference settings. Even though my first browser choice is Tenfourfox.
    You can choose to 'enable plugins' of stuff that by default is turned off in tenfourfox, for security reasons, such as an older no-longer supported version of adobe's Flash. However, video such as youtube content will often automatically work OK from most sites via Tenfourfox now.
    {There's also a seamonkey 'modern version' for intel-based macs w/ later OS X, not at the seamonkeyPPC site...}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can we download Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x?

    We are trying to access FAFSA (Federal Student Aid site) and FAFSA has detected a "connectivity with the Browser" problem. It recommends linking to a browser update. For our computer (Windows XP op sys) FAFSA says the suported browsers are 3.5.x and 3.6.x, and provides a link: http://wwwmozilla.com/firefox. When I go there, the available free upgrade is Mozilla Firefox 3.5.13. I downloaded this (I am dialup connection, so it takes a while and perhaps THAT is the connectivity problem, don't know). A week later, Firefox wanted to upgrade and it upgraded my 2.0 Firefox (installed Feb '08). So, now, I don't know whether to download, again, the 3.5.13, in order to connect with FAFSA.

  • How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

    I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.
    How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?
    Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • How can I have mozilla firefox start at bootup, rather than having to click on the desktop icon to get it running?

    I do the usual turn on and bootup of the computer. Then I have to click on Firefox, and wait.
    Is there a way to add firefox to the bootup in msconfig? I couldn't figure out how.
    I am not a blond, but have white hair.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • 5.0 and 6.0 became entngle, and neithr will start. How can I remove all traces of Firefox and do a "clean" reinstall? Mozilla dosn't appear in Add/Remove Programs, and the uninstaller must've left something behind...

    I tried deleting the Firefox folder as well, but after reinstalling Firefox 6.0, I continue to get a Run error message saying essentially that 5.0 & 6.0 aren't compatible. So, how can I remove all versions from all locations and start fresh?

  • How can I remove a Disabled Extension not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1? I just want to remove it... I don't want to wait for a compatible update. Why can't I remove it?

    When I upgraded from 3.XX to 4.0.1, it informed me that 2 extensions were not compatible and it never gave me the option to remove them. Firefox 4.0.1 disabled them and now I'm not able to remove them.
    Also they were added by Acrobat Pro X (Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0) and Nokia Ovi Suite (Firefox Synchronisation Extension 7.3.4.51).
    These extensions won't probably be updated unless they update the software that installed them. With this said, How can I remove the disabled extensions? Why it doesn't give me a button to remove them to start with?

    I think it's not the problem of compatibility. Extensions installed into Windows registry won't have a remove button ( or it's greyed out ). For these extensions, you can have a look into these keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    If you are under a 64bit OS as I am, you may also try this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    And you may find the registry entries corresponding to the extensions you want to remove. Just export them to a backup.reg, then delete these entries. Firefox will do the rest, but it seems that fx still leaves extensions.rdf untouched. You can also delete the RDF entries corresponding to those extensions inside extensions.rdf
    cf: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons#Windows_Registry_extension
    BUT the Wow6432Node key wasn't mentioned in the above article
    I had to search the registry to find out the entry corresponding to a Fiddler2 extension, then I found the Wow6432Node key. I also saw the Nokia Ovi Suite entry beside the Fiddler2 entry.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla

    Hello
    How can I remove the repetitive multiple daily updates from Mozilla?
    Within a day, each day I get prompts as: Mozilla Firefox Update is ready to install at your computer.........then I do install and update it.......then after few minutes again it asks to update the same edition.........again after logging in back few hours later it prompts me again with the same request........IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
    Thank You,
    Gene

    ''the-edmeister [[#answer-683804|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    You could allow the update to proceed - that will stop Mozilla from asking if you want to update every time you launch Firefox, as is supposed to happen.
    Any particular reason that you don't want Firefox 35.0.1 to be installed?
    </blockquote>
    Hi The EDmeister,
    Thank you for your response.
    Nevertheless, I have to repeat that I have ALREADY INSTALLED the Firefox 35.0.1 in my computer and ALLOWED IT TO PROCEED.
    The same edition is prompting me back again, and again and again, within a day, each day. I get that annoying message at the top-right hand.
    I do not want to see it every time, multiple times a day, that is the issue here, unresolved!
    Best regards,
    Gene
