I can't uninstall Mozila Firefox from my Win: 7 system

Once in control panel, I am unable to remove/uninstall mozilla fireforx from my system. How do I uninstall firefox?

If the uninstaller does not work, you can manually uninstall Firefox by deleting its files and folders, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

Sounds like it is time for an out of warranty replacement or an upgrade to the iPhone 4.

I can't uninstall/install FireFox due to a pop-up that says: Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox..."

This problem arose when I attempted to upgrade my existing FireFox browser to the new FireFox 7. I clicked through the auto-update, but didn't think that anything changed, as the browser didn't look like the image in the feature explanation image I was viewing. I then tried to download Firefox 7, and when I tried to instal it, this process began.
I can't uninstall/install FireFox due to a pop-up that says: Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox..." When restarted and attempted again, the same pop up appears and I am stuck in an infinite loop.
I cannot locate the Mozilla file within my program files to try and delete cantankerous upgrade components, which seems to resolve this issue for many people. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/796566
I also tried completely deleting Firefox, which didn't work either-- I ended up doing a system restore, only to be met with the same infinite loop.
Now, when I click on the Mozilla icon, nothing happens. No window opens, no error message, nothing.
Why can't I find the Mozilla folder in my Programs File but can see it in Control Panel "Add or Remove Programs" (though I can't uninstal due to infinite loop)?

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro?

I want to uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro and am not sure how to go about it. I am looking for specific, step by step instructions. I have not tried anything yet (other than to try to find instructions on You Tube)
Thanks for your help!

Since the "FREAK OpenSSL bug" in the Mac which has been making the news over the last couple of days doesn't apply to Firefox but does affect Safari and other Mac browsers, you might want to hold off uninstalling for a bit. But if you must, drag the Firefox application to the Trash. Next, locate your Firefox profile in /Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles and drag that to the Trash too. Then empty the Trash.

Can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

Just to add to the conversation with some helpful information.
Prior to install i was more worried about finding a Quicken replacement than anything (decided on iBank). I installed Lion and then realized as I was going through my system that Parallel 5 set up for my previous employer. As suspected, it did not work. So I upgraded Parallels planning to eventually set it up again in the future including reinstalling the version of windows. When I finally logged on with after the upgrade, all my files, etc. was still there. Shocking but true. Double check to see if this occured with any one else. Good luck.

Can I uninstall Yosemite and reload my older operating system

can I uninstall Yosemite and reload my older operating system

I tried this method and erased my MC HD and restored my system, but the bad thing is once you install YOSEMITE it overrides your Recovery with yosemite and you lose Maverick. I called Apple support regarding this same issue. I have to take my Mac to apple to have it replaced with a new one that has maverick installed on it.
Yosemite is causing display glitches, wifi slow downs, dock disappears from one screen to the other or completely and cannot get it back.

Why can't I open Firefox from desk top or Program file?

I can only open Firefox when I right click and open as administrator, not from the desktop shortcut or program file. I had added two users to my laptop, including one guest, after which this problem occurred. I removed the two users, but I still can't open Firefox from shortcut or program file.

Any problems you are having with Dropbox should be through their tech support. Contact them.

Why can't I delete Firefox from my add&remove programmes????

Every time I go into add &remove programmes and click on remove it just blinks and stays there???? It does nothing???? How do I get it OFF my computer????

This article has an alternate method for uninstalling when the control panel method doesn't work: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox Uninstalling Firefox | How to | Firefox Help]. (See the box below #5)
If you are planning to reinstall, you might want to make a backup of your Firefox bookmarks and settings. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Can I uninstall FCE 4 from and Old iMac, and reinstall in a new iMac

I have and Old iMac G5, last year I bought FCE 4, and now, I'm changing to a new iMac Intel Core processor i5.
Can i uninstall the FCE 4 and Install it to my new iMac Intel core Processor i5?
Is really urgent.

legrma -
Yes, you can do this. Just uninstall FCE from your old G5 iMac; then install it on your new i5 iMac.
The license allows you to install FCE on 1 desktop Mac and 1 laptop Mac as long as you own both and do not use FCE on both at the same time. You can move it from Mac to Mac as long as you abide by the license terms.

If you are looking for this as rollback plan then answer is Yes. But my advice would be to perform testing of any patch in QA/Dev before rolling out to production.
