I want to uininstall Firefox. In control panel add/remove programs, it will not go away

To repeat: I go to control panel, scroll to mozilla firefox, click remove program, and it will not go away

If the normal method to uninstall does not work, you can delete the Firefox files and folders as shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  • Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

    My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

  • 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.

    For security details regarding the Adobe updates, see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html

  • Cannot uninstall I tunes. In control panel add and remove programs it will not give me the option to remove any of the I tunes. In program files it tells me access denied to remove any of the related items. I have tried using the removal methods from i tu

    My i tunes will not work at all. I have tried all the steps given to remove my I tunes player but in my control panel, add and remove programs it does not give me an option to remove any of the apple/ I tunes. I tried to go to program files and remove all the files but access is denied. This all started about 1 1/2 years ago and with every i tunes update i got more and more errors or problems until it stopped working. At one time i could remove and reinstall i tunes to try to fix it but now i cannot do anything. I believe one of the last  was i could not open i tune because it was being used or was on another network, not 100% sure its been so long and frustrating I quit trying 6 months ago. Hopefully someones got some help !!!
    Thanks I appreciate your time; Philip

  • When I set up the cloud control panel on my pc it will not allow me to ck the option for callandor and contacts to use that feature. Therefor  my ipad callendar will not sync with the cloud

    When i set up the cloud controll panal on my pc it will not allow me to ck the box for contacts, callandor etc. There for my Ipad will not sync my callendos or contacts with the cloud

    I think you are mistaken, your ipad has no problem to sync with the cloud. Your pc however does, since you can't check the check box. So why do not you try to concentrate on that part of problem and find out why. For starters, check what happens if you disable your antivirus/firewall on your computer/network and check box again. Describe what you see and messages you get. Good luck.

  • I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

    Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?

  • MSN hijacks my firefox home page, no matter how many times I reset to Firefox Google. I do not have any MSN extension in my add ons, nor a BING file in my control panel add/ remove section. So how to get rid of it

    I have tried the forum suggestions for re-setting my home page, how to disable add-on extensions, and how to to remove from any MSN / BING from my add/ remove in the control panel, but it persisits.
    I do have IE 8 also , but only use it on websites that only function with IE, but my home page on IE is of my choice (GOOGLE) and does not reset to MSN. So whatever the problem is, it does not affect IE only Firefox
    Any help ?

    Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
    Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
    Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
    I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
    :| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
    Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

  • 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.

  • I am now using v3.68 and tried updating to v7.01 but it does not seem to work. Went to control panel to remove all the old versions but Firefox was not listed there although Thunderbird is there. Please advise asap, thanks

    I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the uninstall/reinstall process. 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.)
    In the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, look for '''Mozilla Firefox'''. Make sure to save (do not delete) your personal settings when uninstalling.
    If it isn't there, just try installing 3.6.23, which is the latest in the 3.6 family. You can download 3.6.23 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    With respect to version 7.0.1, are you saying that the installation failed, or it seemed to work but it's nowhere to be found?

  • Trying to remove the ultimas games toolbar and can't find reference to it in the add/remove programs in the control panel.

    A toolbar "ultimate games" has appeared on firefox; I can't find any reference to it in the control panel "add/remove programs" list. How can I get rid of it?

    I followed the instructions but when I got to highlighting the ultimate games extension, there was no removal button, only an "enable" button. I really want to remove it altogether. So what can I do?

  • Old version of firefox in add remove programs

    When I originally installed Firefox on my machines it was Firefox 11 I have updated to the most recent version Firefox 16 but in Add/Remove programs is still shows Version 11. When I do a scan on my network it still shows version 11 on all my machines. This is an issue because I need to know what the users are using. I have given the users the ability to update their FF and thought they were not doing it. Also there is only one install of FF showing in Add/remove programs..I know others have reported the old and the new versions in Add/remove programs

    To confirm what Firefox version is currently installed, see
    *[[Find what version of Firefox you are using]]
    Alternately, go to Firefox Help -> [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page| Troubleshooting Information]] and look under Application Basics for the version number.
    If the only problem is that your Windows Control Panel list of installed programs says that Firefox 11 is installed instead of the actual version, a simple solution might be to simply download the latest Firefox version from mozilla.org (currently 16.0.1) and reinstall Firefox (you can optionally [[Uninstalling Firefox|uninstall Firefox]] first but make sure you do NOT select the "Remove my Firefox personal data" option ... if you do, all of your Firefox bookmarks, passwords, and other profile data and settings will be lost!).
