How do I uninstall Firefox silently from Windows 8?

Hi
I'm trying to deploy Firefox 26.0 silently using the -ms switch. This is working perfectly for Windows 7 and Windows 8
When I try to uninstall silently using the /S switch, it doesn't do anything at all. How should I perform a silent uninstall?

Try the up to date ESR as it is based on Fx 24 it may well work. You will need to know exactly what the compatibility issue is and what the problem is, but it is probably quickest just to test FxESR 26.4. Remember it only gets important security fixes and very little else.
Maybe you should worry about the plugins. If they are not working In the current ESR and current Release are they going to remain stable and usable in the future.
You should be able to check with the plugin's support site they should be aware which ESR versions the plugin is compatible with.
The article you found relates to the standard Mozilla Firefox full installable.

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

How can I uninstall InDesign CS6 from Windows 8?

InDesign started acting all whackadoodle* a couple of days ago.
I decided that uninstalling and reinstalling would be easier than trying to figure out exactly what's wrong. Ha! Sucker!**
InDesign does not appear in the trusty ol' Control Panel programs list, and therefore cannot be uninstalled the way every other Windows program can be uninstalled.
What do I do now?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

'''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.

Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

So you are using OS 10.7.2?
You have two options: You can reveal the folders permanently from the Terminal:
Start the Terminal.app from Applications -> Utilities, then enter:
      sudo chflags nohidden /Library; open /Library               press return
to make the System Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder,
and
       chflags nohidden ~/Library; open ~/Library
to make the User Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder.
The "sudo" prefix makes you do the command authorized as Administrator. You will have to enter your admin password. Be careful when using this. Read any command twice to be sure you do not enter any wrong commands.
If you want to leave the libraries hidden,and only open them in the Finder, use the Finder "Go" menu.
To show the User Library:
Finder menu -> Go     hold down the opt-key, till the Library appears in the drop down menu, select it
To show the System Library:
Finder menu -> Go -> Go to Folder
enter      /Library        press return.
To hide the libraries again, if you prefer this, enter
     chflags hidden ~/Library
and
     chflags hidden /Library
in the Terminal window.
Good Luck     and Happy New Year!

Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8. I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online. Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8. I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below. Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash. Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager. Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as I am not super computer savvy

Hi,
Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. It's unnecessary to install or uninstall Flash Player.
Since you have uninstalled, you may want to look at this document for reinstalling Flash Player: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

Judging from your name and wanting to uninstall Firefox, you seem to have a issue with Brendan Eich making the decision himself to step down from CEO and Mozilla and not go back to CTO or another role.

How do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

I recently switch to Apple. can someone tell me how to how do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

As mecklists indicated, just removing the "icon" from the Application folder is all you need to do in most cases (this is THE beating argument for OS X in my mind compared to Windows with its complex uninstallers; and then still having dozens of registry entries and files spread over the entire harddisk).
However if you want to get sure that any and all files have been removed, you may look at /Library/Application Support folders available under your user's home and the startup volume's home directory.
You may simply look for files and folders that are related to the software you have deleted. Anyway, be careful doing so. Not that you mistakenly remove files associated with other applications.
