I can't remove Firefox 8 from control panel?

I update Firefox8 to 9.1, but upon looking in control panel still said I had Firefox 8. Also, I had automatic update enabled and it never updated, so I therefore put it to manual. I was having Java issues that weren't resolved with Firefox and have decided to uninstall! I am unable to from control panel or uninstaller? When I click remove it does nothing but go bk to original state like I never clicked remove. All other programs are removable from this feature! I don't understand why I am being refused the option to remove, in the meantime I have blocked access. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Version 9.1 auto loaded on my computer and I had problems. If 8 is working, don't go to 9.1. I spent hours trying to find an earlier version and the best I could do is find 6.0. I downloaded it and my problems were corrected. I recommend you keep 8.

  • How can I remove Firefox from my device

    I simply want to remove Firefox from my tab

    hi Scottdendy1, you can uninstall firefox on android and all other apps the same way you've installed them - through the google play store on your device.

    Just drag it off.... the icon is just an alias (link) to the real application.
    There is a "How to Use OS X" Missing Manual ebook that would answer this but also 100s more so you can use and get more out of using the system.

  • Win 7 After uninstalling Firefox from Control Panel, "The action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program"

    Update failed numerous times. Uninstalled FF using Control Panel. Followed instructions to delete the Mozilla folder from AppData/Local/Mozilla. Then the "Folder in Use" prompt comes up and I have to cancel the delete. Folder was created 4/8/2011, but I can't find the folder using the search command. Can't install a fresh install of Firefox 18. Using Windows 7 64-bit. I no longer have FireFox on my system that I can see.

    Okay, I drilled down further:
    Specifically, the files I cannot delete are:
         A driver with the following location:
              Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams.resources > en.lproj >ShellStreamsLocalized.dll
         And a driver with the following location:
               Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams64.dll

  • I can't uninstall; tried from control panel and from the uninstaller help file.

    all explained above. nothing will remove this program from my computer...windows 8.1

    Hey bmatthewb
    Sorry to hear you are not enjoying firefox as much as we are, and it seems your firefox doesnt want you to part either.
    Try deleting it manually:
    Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Once done empty recycle bin and see if it is then listed in your programs from the control panel.
    Hope this helps and get back to us so it is easier for other users to find the solution if they have the same prob :)

  • How can I remove Firefox from my desk top (Safari is my main browser) I have a iMac & since I added Firefox, everything is messed up.

    history is sporadic
    many files will not open
    tells me server can't be found
    one message HTTP status code 13030
    help!
    everything was fine with just Safari
    (no offense, Firefox is what I use on work computer)

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How do you remove Firefox from computer, will not delete from "Add/delete hardware"

    Have tried to remove firefox from computer. Tried "add/remove harware, programs" from control panel, won't do anything keeps popping back up. Several months ago firefox crashed and computer would not let me log on to the internet. Went back to internet explorer works great. But now I can't seem to get rid of firefox from my computer. My internet carrier (cox.net) say that firefox is not compatible with their internet system. How can I remove firefox from control panel, is taking up space in my computer?

    Try Programs or Programs and Features, Firefox is software not hardware.
    Look in there for Mozilla Firefox not Firefox.

    Have you tried resetting your Default Browser back to IE, thru the Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs?

  • I can not remove itunes from my computer.

    I've tried all these steps, in this link
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=403421&tstart=15
    and when i get to the add/remove programs menu from control panel, itunes begins to uninstall, stops, and then just goes right back to the add/remove program menu and is still there. nothing happens.
    is there any other way i can fully remove itunes from my computer.

  • We try to unistall from control panel or helper folder and nothing happens. What are the next step.

    We want to upgrade Mozila to a new version. When we try to upgrade from your web site, nothing happens.
    When we follow your recommendation to unistall the program from control panel or helper folder, the folder doesn't open.
    we need to force the unistall to upgrade the new version.
    Thanks for your advice.

    I had the same issue. To resolve it, I:
    1. Backed up my bookmarks to my desktop;
    2. Deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder (in the C:\Program Files folder).
    3. Reinstalled Firefox
    4. Uninstalled Firefox (to make sure any registry entries that may have been causing problems were removed)
    5. Reinstalled Firefox again
    6. Imported bookmarks.
    7. OPTIONAL: Reinstall any add-ons I regularly use
    I no longer have the problems with slow performance or websites hanging that I had after originally upgrading to Firefox 7.
    Obviously if you just want to uninstall, you only need to do steps 2 through 4. I wanted to continue using Firefox and was just trying to resolve the issues I was having browsing the web since upgrading to 7.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing test pilot?

    I had removed the test pilot extension and its feedback button in Firefox 4.0b9. I let Firefox upgrade itself to 4.0b10 and didn't notice that silently re-installed it.
    I was typing in another application when suddenly that window was minimized and the focus shifted to a Firefox "new test pilot study" window that popped up. Even if I had given permission for that software to be installed, that is rude.
    I am not willing to trust that if I disable this logging software that it will stay disabled the next time I upgrade. I will remove test pilot again. '''How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing it?'''
    One way might be to set extensions.rdf read-only. However, I do not wish to lose the ability to install add-ons, I merely do not want anybody (including Mozilla) to install an add-on without my permission.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519357 doesn't seem to address this problem as test pilot is a known component. Its not a plug-in so I can't modify the plugin scanning settings to prevent it from being loaded. Is there some way I can reliably supplement http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ with a local block list file? If so, would I have to update that whenever a new version of test Pilot is released?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "re-directs e-mails." Are the recipient addresses changing between the time you address the message and the time it is sent?
    If you could provide more information I think that would help in tracking this down.
    When you use Firefox to work with your webmail site, whether Yahoo! or Gmail or another, the mechanics of sending the mail are handled by the site itself. So if there is a problem with how messages are addressed, then you may need to check your Yahoo! mail settings.

  • Windows Update from COntrol Panel does not work??

    Hello,
    regardless if it is common way to do so or not: Does anyone have experience with the "Windows Update" functions in WE8S?
    I tried them upon a customers request, and I've seen that I could not get it to complete successfully when choosing the option in
    Control Panel. It either hanged during "Downloading..." or at the "Preparing to install..." screen - I waited for many hours. But when I using the "Windows Update"
    app from the start screen, updates were installed without any problems (OK, 1 has failed, but the process has completed). Of course, both methods have different look, maybe it is not the
    same...
    As per Sean Limings' book it is no good idea to update systems in the field this way - shall I remove the functions from the system? What are you doing?
    Thanks,
    Willi K.

    Maybe it was because of the number of updates (in my case there were 85 updates pending). After I succeeded installing via the "Windows Update" app from "Start Menu", there where two more updates, and update now worked when called from
    control panel (at least one of them, KB2973201 still stolidly fails to install).

    Thanks for the reply.
    Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
    I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Best wishes
    Thanks.
