It may have changed various preferences in Firefox, for details of things to check see this post at MozillaZine - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5069645#p5069645

  • When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

    It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
    Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

  • I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel Add/Remove Program. When I tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copy of v6.0.

    I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel>Add/Remove Program. When I downloaded v6.0 again and tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copyof v6.0. However when I did reboot I get the same error message. I'm sort of stuck in a loop and can't figure out how I can re-install v6.0. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.

    Please do the following.
    Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
    However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
    Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
    Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.
    Update Adobe Shockwave for Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Update Adobe Reader via http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO
    For security details regarding the Adobe updates, see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
    Once you've updated all those, go to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates '''again to update to version 4.0.1

  • Windows 2000 prof. I noticed that I have both versions 3.6 and 6.02 installed when i checked the this in the add/remove program in the control panel. Can i remove the v3.6?

    I have windows 2000 professional operating system version 5.0.2195 service pack 4 build 2195. I usually logged on as "user1". When i clicked on firefox it will try to install update but will return a message that update cannot be installed "please make sure that there are no other copies of firefox running on your computer". But there are no other copies of firefox running.
    I checked the add/remove program in the control panel and found out that I have ver3.6.10 and ver6.0.2 installed.
    Can i remove the ver3.6.10 using the uninstall button in the add/remove program?
    Another problem is that I cannot logged in as "administrator".
    When i logged in as "administrator" the computer just shut down and restart by itself while loading my desktop icons.

    The normal method is simply
    * Help -> Check for Updates
    on Firefox (Window XP)
    * see also [[Updating Firefox]]
    You should be able to delete Firefox and remove it, from your Windows XP control panel although that may not be what you intend.
    If you have doubts about compatibility stay with Firefox3.6 for now.
    Some software extensions will currently have problems with firefox 4 (and that iircc may include some versions of silverlight )
    Do NOT use any delete settings (or whatever it is worded) that will loose all your passwords and bookmarks.
    BTW the safe mode in relation to Firefox is a totally different concept from Windows safe mode, but you probably have no need to use either of them.
    * see also [[Safe Mode]]
    On an ordinary upgrade Firefox will preserve your profile details which include bookmarks any passwords.
    You should have no problems in installing Firefox 4. You should be able to install firefox 4, and retain any bookmarks etc that were used in firefox 3.6, but sometimes extensions may be incompatible.

  • How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

    I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

    For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
    What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

  • I have an ipad 2 when i open anything that i downloaded such as games or applications it doesnt open i dont know why i tried to turn it off and turn it on again but the same problem

    i have an ipad 2 when i open anything that i downloaded such as games or applications it doesnt open i dont know why i tried to turn it off and turn it on again but the same problem any help plz?

    If it's just the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store that you are having problems with, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • ITunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system.  Now my phone is not recognized.  I tried installing manually.  I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs.  Still get errors.

    Attempted update to iTunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system.  Now my phone is not recognized.  I tried installing manually.  I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs.  Still get errors.

    Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
    Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com.  Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan.  Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans.  Restart computer.
    Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
    GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
    Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
    Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
    Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors  This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
    Good Luck!!.

  • How do I uninstall firefox when I cannot find it in 'add/remove program'

    I am trying to uninstall firefox from my window 7 notebook but I cannot find it under 'add/remove program' in control panel. I have come across suggestion to delete the Mozilla firefox folder from program x86 but I worry that this method may create problem by leaving orphans in the registry.

    The uninstall instructions are here
    * [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
    You appear not to be posting from Firefox and so I wonder have you already uninstalled it ?
    Uninstalling, gives you an option to leave behind personal information. If you will never use Firefox again you may not need that and the Firefox profile may be deleted. Possibly the profile folder is what you are seeing. Note the profile contains your Firefox bookmarks and normally if uninstalling Firefox you may wish to first of all export those as HTML that may be used elsewhere as bookmarks / favourites.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]

  • How do I manually uninstall 3.5.6? Each time I attempt to upgrade to 4.0 the install program asks me to reboot which I have done numerous times. Add/Remove Programs prompts the same message when selecting "REMOVE" option.

    Attempting to upgrade Firefox from 3.5.6 to 4.0 but it prompts me to Reboot to finish install. Rebooting PC does not resolve the issue. I get this message when attempting to remove via Windows/XP Control Panel "ADD/REMOVE" programs and if I attempt to execute "FIREFOX 4.0 SETUP" program.
    How can I manually uninstall FIREFOX?

    The easiest way of doing it is to click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The first time you do it, it will upgrade to v3.6.16. So you'll have to repeat the same steps to get to version 4.0.

  • Elements 10 organizer keeps stopping when trying to create a slide program.

    Thanks Lennart for your help...you are the man!
    I tried what you said and was able to import my movie into iDVD although I still had trouble writing the DVD (4 more times) as the titles page viewed with the wrong buttons and the sound was out of synch with the movie.
    I tried once again from within iMovie and clicked the 'proceed' button instead of 'render and proceed' and this seemed to work okay.
    I then went on to create the DVD which worked fantastic.
    Thanks for your help which lead me in the right direction.
