How can i uninstall firefox without being able to get into it in the first place?

I have Windows Vista. A few weeks back, i had installed Firefox 3.5.17, and had it running without any problems. When Firefox 4.0 came out, i installed that in the place of the older version. It was also running properly, but i couldn't use the Norton Toolbar for it because they were not compatable together. So i switched it back to 3.5.17, but when i tried to open it, it wouldn't. when i tried to uninstall it, it told me to 'Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed.' Please help!!!

Please carefully read:

  • How can I use Firefox WITHOUT updating it? I do not have the "authority" on my work computer to do this, so I can't use firefox.

    I do not have the "authority" on my work computer to do this, so I can't use firefox at work. Also, some of our programs do not work with the latest version of firefox..

  • How can I download Firefox without being asked for "permision to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer"?

    I've downloaded Firefox on several computers and have never had a problem in the past. You click the most recent version and the download process is just as described. However, this time around (maybe b/c I'm using Windows7?) I would click download, Run, and then it would ask if I would give Firefox permission to make changes to my computer. This sounds really weird, and I don't think I was asked that before. If I say no, the download remains incomplete. Why does this happen? And every time I click on the download link, the file name for where it's "From" differs. Why is that?
    == I attempted to download Firefox ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

  • How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
    Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

    I downloaded a ringtone last week for my iphone5 and it was active on my phone until I did a sync on the weekend with my laptop and now I find the ringtone has disappeared how do I reload it without being charged again?  I still have the tax invoice.

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download, but if it's not on your phone and it hasn't copied over to the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Can I require password to Firefax on my home computer so that a guest can use my computer without being able to access Firefox and my most frequent Websites and my automatic passwords?

    Basically I want to let someone use my desktop computer at home without that person being able to pry into my Google email, Firefox bookmarks, etc. I want to leave computer on because I want remote access when I travel.
    If you have a solution that does not require a Firefox finesse, please let me know that too.
    P.S. As is obvious, I am moderately, but I believe, not hopelessly , computer-challenged. Simple is best.
    P.P.S. I don't know whether it is relevant, but I have not even set up a home page.

    It is best to setup a separate Guest Windows account for that user and protect your own account with a password.

  • How can I uninstall firefox 36 from my computer

    How do I uninstall Firefox 36

    Quit the application. Drag the icon in the Applications folder into the Trash, then Empty the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • FF 3.6 AND 5 on same Mac, 1 profile - can I uninstall 5 without causing problems running 3.6 or with the profile?

    I upgraded from 3.6.16 to 5, but don't like how 5 handles tabs (auto reloading 'problem loading' tabs when internet connection is reestablished). So I installed 3.6 in a separate folder, e.g. both versions are on this computer. I went back to using 3.6, and let it upgrade to either 3.6.18 or 19 (don't recall which & it's not open right now). I'm having problems with it using too much CPU & Memory, and not sure if that's a difference between 3.6.16 & 3.6.18/19, or if having 5 on the same computer even if closed could be causing the problem.
    Can I uninstall 5 without causing problems with the 3.6 version and the single profile?

    If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
    Hopefully that helps.

  • How can I uninstall firefox 4 and return to the version prior?

    I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and return to the prior version. how can I do this?

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How can I uninstall yosemite without losing all my stuff?

    I just installed Yosemite tonight and I've realized that I absolutely hate it. Not only does it look horrible, but my computer is super laggy, wont load anything but firefox, and for a while it completely locked me out of my computer. I need my computer for work and school so this is absolutely not acceptable. I really just want to go back to mavericks, however I don't have an external hard drive or have time machine. How can I go back to mavericks without losing all my stuff?

    Unless your machine shipped with Mavericks or, if not, you saved a copy of the Mavericks install app, you're screwed. Without a bootable backup/clone or TM backup of your previously good Mavericks installation, there's no way to get from here to there; unless you know someone that kept the Mavericks installer.

  • How can I uninstall iTunes without Bonjour.msi?

    As of about 2 months ago, I suddenly couldn't update iTunes. I'm getting a Bonjour.msi error that I cannot resolve. I've searched high and low for how to fix this and cannot seem to find anything that works. The issue with this stupid Bonjour error is that it ALSO prevents me from UN-Installing iTunes... so I can't even scrap it and start over. It's a vicious circle! I'm stuck with version 10.2.2.12 that I cannot upgrade nor uninstall.
    The exact error is:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Bonjour.msi' in the box below."
    And then there's a path dropdown....
    HELP!! I don't know what to do.  I think at this point, maybe it'd be easier to just completely uninstall iTunes and start over, as opposed to trying to find bounjour.msi and add it/update it...? I dunno.
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    If iTunes is installed, you'll be able to uninstall it using "Programs and Features" found in Control Panel

  • My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

    I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
    I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
    Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Full installers can always be downloaded here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    I am assuming you went to this page:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".
