How do I uninstall current ver of Firefox and then install ver 5

I currently have Mozilla Fire fox 18.0.1(x86en.us) and Mozilla Maintenance Service 23.0.1 in my Windows-7 x64 computer. I have new software that recommends changing the current fire fox browser to Fir Fox Ver 4 or later and the software will run better. I am thinking of ver 5. However my control panel does not let me uninstall Firefox. They do show ways how is can be done but I am not comfortable even trying them.
Surely you should be able to show me the proper way.

Um actually they mean Firefox 4 and Up, installing a version as old as 5 puts you at risk for exploits. Firefox 23 should work fine.

  • Need assistance creating applications with superseedence to uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2010 and then install Office 365 click to run 2013

    We are getting ready in a few months to uninstall our locally installed Office 2010 and head to the cloud with Office 365 2013. I have created applications to uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 and then added them to the supersedence tab for Office 365
    office 2013 click to run with appv5.
    When deploying the office 365 2013 application it does not uninstall office 2010 or lync 2010 with the supersedence.  I am able to manually uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 with the command lines I am using in the applications.
    The application uninstall for Office 2010 is:
    The application uninstall is an exe so I created an application, created a deployment type with the location of our Office 2010 admin point, installation program and uninstall program are set with the same line as I have tried to deploy it separately and
    also as a supersedence in the Office 365 application setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config "\\sccmserver\share\Office2010\ProPlus.ww\silentuninstallconfig.xml.  The silentuninstallconfig.xml was created from the original config.xml file and edited
    to these settings:<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
     <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
     <Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
     <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
     <OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />
     </Configuration>
    The detection method is the folder path to see that office 14 exists.  When I deploy this the machines finish with success showing this exists, but does not uninstall Office 2010.
    running the command line manually mapped to this location on a machine uninstalls office 2010 without issue. 
    Lync 2010 uninstall:
    Lync is an exe so I am using the LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall.  The application is in the supersedence tab for Office 365 2013. This never installs.  If I create a softare distribution and deploy it on its own it uninstalls without issue. 
    We are going to use Lync 2013 with our office 365 2013 installation so we need to uninstall this.  The detection method for lync is file system folder and the Microsoft lync folder for detection.
    MS Office 15 (Office 365) was created with the click to run tool.  I can install this with the application I created using the appv5 package created with the click to run tool.  The issue is we need Office 2010 and Lync 2010 uninstalled first. 
    Having both versions of Office installed in test has caused issues where Office 15 365 will not list in add and remove programs and cannot be uninstalled even with the fix it article to remove office 2013. 
    I have looked at many articles and so far it is not working for us.  Any help appreciated to get us to the cloud.
    Thanks,
    Brit

    The applications I have for uninstall of office 2010 and Lync 2010 for some reason do not uninstall. Manually testing the command lines they do.  The detection method seems to be hanging things up.  On the lync uninstall detection method I have
    the setting type of file system, type folder, path c:\program files\ folder name Microsoft Lync.
    I highly recommend using something other than a file/folder "exists" detection method. Installers are constantly leaving things behind due to environmental inconsistencies. It may leave files/folders behind with a schedule to delete files on next reboot.
    These things are unpredictable and very hard to use. I just use the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Registry location. There you can actually key off the "Product Version" DWORD as well which gives you an even more accurate method
    to determine if the application you are trying to deploy (or expect to exist) is truly there. This, of course, being if you are not using an MSI. If you have MSI technology ALWAYS use the product code unless the person writing the MSI chooses to use the same
    product code for every version release of their product. In which case, Use the registry method.
    As far as getting the supersedence and everything working. You need to start from the basics. Create Applications for all of the apps you want to remove. Make sure they install and uninstall properly (seems like overkill but it isn't that hard). Once you
    have working install/uninstall applications then you can easily apply supersedence to your new applications with a setting of Uninstall on the superseded apps you should have no problem getting rid of them. I have done this for numerous things.
    For example, I did this with Cisco Jabber to replace older versions of jabber, older versions of cisco unified personal communicator and lync and OSC. All of these replaced versions had to have an Application but once it was in it took two seconds to apply
    all the supersedence rules and now I know when I push that software out no matter version is running on any machine it will pull all the old apps off and put the new one on.

  • How do I uninstall Safari 5.0.6 and re-install an older version?

    I have an older iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 and I accidently downloaded and installed a version of Safari (5.0.6) that is not supported by Leopard OS X 10.5.8. So now my old version of Safari is gone and I cannot figure out how to un-install Safari 5.0.6. I downloaded an older version of Safari (5.0.3) that should be supported by OS X 10.5.8 but when I go to install it, I get the error message that "a newer version of Safari already exists". Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have a Time Machine backup, you can try starting from the Mac OS X DVD (pressing C key while your Mac is starting) and select the option to restore the Time Machine backup on Utilities menu.
    If you haven't got a backup, you have to reinstall Mac OS X. Insert the Mac OS X DVD and reinstall Leopard. After reinstalling Mac OS X, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version, so Safari will be working after doing this

  • I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?

    since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
    (currently running Firefox v28.0)

    It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.

  • I updated to Yosemite on my Mac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. How do I recover bookmarks, etc?

    I updated to Yosemite on my iMac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. It's possible I uninstalled everything Mozilla related. I'm not sure. How do I recover bookmarks, passwords, etc? I don't believe I previously had a username & password for Mozilla. I do have my Mac backed up in Time machine and also a Carbon Copy Clone.
    Also, I was able to migrate setting from Safari. Perhaps I don't want some of that stuff? Looking at the list of installed plugins, I have no clue if they're standard Apple/Mozilla stuff, or if they were selected by me/my family earlier in Safari? Are any of them a threat to my online security?
    Any detailed instruction would be most appreciated. I'm not much of a tech guy.
    Thanks.

    You will have to find your previously used profile folder in the Time machine or other backup and restore the wanted files to the current profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • I was no longer able to click on my Firefox icon and open . I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled and I still cannot get Firefox to open. It says that the download was successful. What should I do?

    I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.

    I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
    Do you want to switch the setting?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Does that help?

    I don't think this will fix your problem with restoring your iPhone 4 though. That is likely a seperate issue.
    but i can do it with any windows?
    Yes, you can theoretically restore your iPhone with any computer running the most current version of iTunes (10.6.3) unless there is some other issue.
    I get error code(21)
    According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21:
    "These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
    Do you run any anti-virus or third-party firewalls on your computer? Try disabling them and trying the restore process again. It may be possible that one of these security applications is interfering with the iPhone's ability to authenticate with Apple's servers.

  • How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-

  • I cannot open itunes due to an error 126. I have never backed up my music and do not want to lose anything if I uninstall and then install again. How can I be sure my music is safe?

    I cannot open itunes due to an error126. I have never backed up my music library and am worried I will lose it all if I uninstall and then install itunes. Any suggestions??

    Back it up. While uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't normally affect the library, other things, such as drive failures, can.

  • Best way to uninstall FCP 5.0 and then install 5.1 on my MBP

    hope this is not a dumb question... i installed FCP 5.0 on my MBP not knowing that i should have done the 'universal crossgrade' to 5.1 first. I'm kinda new to Mac, so how should i do the install of 5.1? should i completely uninstall all the FC Studio Apps (FCP, motion, DVDSP, soundtrack pro, live type) first by just deleting them from the 'applications' folder and then install all the 5.1 apps? or can/should i just start with the install of 5.1 without deleting the 5.0 apps? Also, does anyone have any thoughts on running Motion on the Mac Book Pro? Using the 5.0 (non universal) version of Motion, the app would never open past the "opening startup screen" which is how i found out that i should get the universal crossgrade, so hopefully this will solve that problem and run smoothly??? thanks for any help in advance...

    your best bet is to wipe your harddrive and do a clean install of the os and it's updates, then your software.
    simply deleting fcp from your applications folder won't uninstall the application.
    do a search in the motion forum for operating on a macbook pro, you'll find people do with great success.

  • How to remove xcode 4.1 and then install xcode 3.2.6?

    how to remove xcode 4.1 and then install xcode 3.2.6?

    Just an FYI I had xcode 3.2 installed on my snow leopard system and have today just installed Lion and I just cleaned and rebuilt an App I had developed prior to the Lion install to test to see if it would work. I was told it would but wanted to make sure and it successfully rebuilt and works in the simulator.
    My issue is a bit different I need to install 4.1 WITHOUT corrupting my 3.2 installation as I may have to go back to rebuild a 3.2 App as we had a fairly unique setup for our xcode. The problem as I see it currently is I do not know how LION installs things in LION xcode is an App downloaded from the App store but I need to be able to download to something other than the default directories and I am not sure if I have that option in LION when installing an App(xcode) from the App Store
