Old verision of Firefox reinstalls year after deletion how do I get rid of it?

About a year ago I deleted Firefox. Since then I've tried to re-install it twice but the same info reloads - preferences, add-ons and all. I had a different Mac with a different OS the first time this happened. And Firefox has upgraded several times since then too.

Create a new profile if you want to start with a fresh Firefox profile.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works fine for you then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile if you still want to keep some of it.

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • I have a problem with my trash. I have deleted all but It is sayinf I still have 51 to delete how do i get rid of this

    I have a problem deleting trash. I have deleted all my trash but it still says that there are 51 how do I get rid of this.

    There is no trash folder on an iPhone or any iOS device.
    Do you mean the trash folder for your email account?
    If so, try emptying it from a web browser on a computer.

  • I just bought the new Iphone4s. My old phone was synced to my car. How do I get rid of that one so I can use my hands free blue tooth for my Nissan Rogue 2010

    I just bought the Iphone4s. My old phone is syncked with my hands free bluetooth. How do I get rid of my old phone so I can sync my new phone. My old phone wasn't an Iphone. My car is a 2010 Nissan Rogue? The car manual isn't very helpful.

    You need to unpair the old phone from your car. The car manual may not be helpful, but unless someone here has the same car we will be even less helpful. One tip, however; make sure the new phone has a different name than the old phone.

  • Rented movies won't delete; how can I get rid of them?

    They have been on my iPad longer than 30 days, and I can no longer access them, but they are eating up memory and I can't download anything new. Can't find the files on my computer to erase the files there. I am at a loss. How can i get rid of the movies on my iPad?

    Try tapping Videos, swiping your finger across the movie and then tapping delete.
    If you can't delete the movie that way, try checking Manually managing music and videos from the iPad Summary tab in iTunes, then click the triangle to the left of the iPad under Devices in iTunes. Then delete the movie from the iPad using iTunes by clicking Movies under the iPad and right-cicking the movie and choosing delete.

  • I keep getting a message at the top of my e-mails screen saying the nessage I am looking for has previously been moved or deleted. how do I get rid of it

    When I open Outlook to view my e-mails I get a message at the top which says--the e-mail I am looking for has been removed or deleted and shows a "Close" button. It is annoying more than anything else but I can't seem to get rid of it and I don't know where it is coming from.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    See Outlook support for help with that issue.

  • When I go to Firefox the support screen appears, how can I get rid of it?

    I log into Firefox and this mozilla support page appears. One day it wasn't there but now it is and I want it gone, but I can't find any thing on the screen showing me what to do to get rid of it. It just shows Firefox in upper Left corner.

    You can check the home page setting:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

  • I downloaded firefox 5 and have problems with some of the features i had with firefox 4 with my webroot. how do i get rid of firefox 5 and go back to firefox 4?

    McAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
    The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
    In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
    There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/36733?tstart=0 HERE]

    Delete synced photos
    In iTunes, locate and click on your device.

  • Just updated to latest version , getting started with Mozilla Firefox opens everytime not homepage , how do I get rid of unwanted page

    I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox , when I hit the icon and firefox opens the first page that comes up is the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox and not my home page , I have checked everything I could find and nothing keeps this page from opening like it's my home page . also I unloaded download helper for the same reason , it keep opening up wanting me to upgarde to the latest version , I already had upgraded , I don't know what is going on , My home system was upgraded early last week and works fine , I double checked all setting between the two systems , nothing , Please let me know where to look , thank you , a longtime fan of Firefox.

    Hi Romulus949,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
    If that doesn't work you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When entering a new event I select e-mail as the alert and my e-mail address. When I'm done the event shows a different e-mail that I can't delete How do I get rid of this?

    When I enter an event I select e-mail for the alert and select my e-mail address from the drop down box. However, the event shows a different e-mail address than mine. I can't delete this wrong e-mail address from the event or from the drop down box. I do seem to get the alert in my e-mail, but don't know if the other e-mail is also getting my alerts. How can I resolve this? My wife has an iPad and syncs iCal through iCloud. Could this be causing the problem?
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Wayne,
    Quit iCal, open Address Book, and click on your card. Then select Address Book>Card>Make this My Card.
    If that does not fix the problem, then delete and recreate your card, and once again make sure to designate it with "Make this My Card.

    You seem to be running the latest Firefox 9.0.1 version according to the user agent in your system details list:
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

    Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
    How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
