Problem with uninstalling firefox

I have tried several ways to uninstall firefox and also am running a scan w/ microsoft live onecare for viruses etc.
Cannot use unintall in control panel, cannot use direct use of uninstall in program files, cannot use uninstaller from my computer, or uninstaller from cccleaner. When I tried to get to mozilla support through chrome, a black page came up and then I was blocked to get to support. Only through private session in explorer am I here. I had downloaded chrome but later found that my previous installation would not open. I had to download again.

Can you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Can you open the profile manager? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
Does it work if you Right Click and choose Run as Administrator?

I am having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that best describe the problem. I have labeled them A & B. A is the way it should look and B is what happens after I have I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click on VIEW than click on customize. When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.
This began happening about a month ago. Is there a way I can fix this problem? Thanks for your help.I don't know how to attach my 2 attachments that shows the problem I am having.

when I close the popup, the original window opens seemingly without issue.

Hi All,
This is not a virus . I used this website & I found it very useful & you can remove it through the following steps.ar.hao123.com 1- Then right-clicking on the icon Mozilla Firefox on the desktop, then choose "Properties", as shown in the picture: 2- Select Tab "shortcut", and then delete the text after. Exe in "target" as shown in the following picture, then press "Ok" 3- Open Firefox, and then choose "options" from the list of "tools" 4- Select the tab "general", and in the list "when Firefox starts" then select "show my homepage" and in the box "homepage" then enter any other link and then press "OK"

Problems with Safari, Firefox and Flash player

Ever since I got my new iMac that has Snow Leopard I've had problems with Safari and Firefox freezing or crashing. It appears that part of the problem is the Flash plugin because sometimes a screen pops up and says something like: the flash script is having problems. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling Flash, Safari and Firefox but the problem is still there. My browser seems to hang up or freeze a lot no matter if I use Safari or Firefox.
Any ideas?
I just discovered the Chrome browser from Google this morning and so far its working very well. No freezes and it appears to handle Flash video without any problems.
How can that be?
Thanks

Ah! The proverbial missing information. Why the regrets? Most people are having no issues migrating from previous computers; it's the preferred method. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac. You're a long way from starting over.

Problem after uninstalling Firefox 4

I installed Firefox 4 and learned it was not compatible with Skype. So I uninstalled Firefox and now my internet connection is messed up badly...when I click on desktop shortcuts I'd made before, I'm told they're not registered. I want to install the earlier Firefox version. Is this possible???

The problem is Firefox 4. I have two PC's with one XP OS, the other Win7.
Only problem on XP is the search drop down options do not work when clicked on. I too have nvidia drivers on this PC.
However on the Win7 OS, with MSE and MS firewall, the PC freezes regularly and is unresponsive for several minutes.
Mozilla recommend running browser in safe mode after turning off all add ons and then reintroducing one by one until the culprit is discovered!! People have tried doing as suggested without finding a solution.
You have probably noticed there are numerous topics about this problem in Google. What is clear is that people have various different set ups but that the one connecting factor is the change to Firefox 4.
Instead of telling us what the problem might be with our set ups, and asking us to waste substantial time on work a rounds, perhaps Mozilla should look at Firefox 4 and tell us why it is causing the problems?

Can someone tell me the problem with my Firefox browser?

every time i try to open it, it doesnt work and it looks like this..
http://prntscr.com/4yt5zx
Yes i already restarted my computer, i also uninstalled firefox and re installed it.

Getting a black screen after updating to Firefox 33 can be caused by a problem with hardware acceleration in Firefox.
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key (Safe Mode disables hardware acceleration).
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
Note that there is a Firefox 33.0.1 release scheduled that addresses some hardware acceleration related crashes.

Had nothing but problems with M-firefox 4-can we go back to 3?

We have experienced nothing but problems since we changed to mozilla firefox 4. We are not very computer literate+liked the basic style of FF 3. We would like to go back to FF 3-could we enlist your assistance?

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Is there a problem with the Firefox synch server?

I have three installations of Firefox 4.0.1 on two machines (two fixed, one PortableApps). They are all set up to synchronise.
Since yesterday, all are showing an error at the bottom of the window saying "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again."
I've made no configuration changes to the synch in the last few days, nor have I updated the Firefox version.
Is there a problem with the synch server?

Problems with uninstalling and updating Adobe Reader 9.x

I have an issue with updating Adobe Reader 9.4.5. I get regularly automatic update routines and success reports after I ran them. However, when I open Adobe Reader it still shows up as version 9.4.5. So I tried to uninstall Adobe Reader completely. First of all, in the software panel two Adobe Reader versions show up: 9.4.5 & 9.3.5. Of those two, I could only uninstall the Adobe Reader 9.4.5. The 9.3.5 version doesn't sucessfully enter into an uninstall routine. As my computer expertise is limited, I don't know if there are other ways to remove that program successfully. Another odd thing is that when I open Adobe Reader, the version displayed is 9.4.5 although that was the one which seems to have uninstalled correctly. As you see, it's all a bit of a mess and I would appreciate your help with addressing this issues. Many thanks in advance.

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Then, download the Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

Is there a problem with new Firefox and Gmail?

I cannot get Gmail to work consistently with new Firefox. sometimes it loads, sometimes it lets me enter my password details and then crashes; sometimes I can view my inboxes up until I select a message and then it crashes... I've submitted several crash reports already but not heard anything back as yet.

Thanks for replying. Only trouble is that the machines I'm having problems with already run the most up to date versions. In fact, by pure fluke, my wife's laptop which has automatic updates switched off is running FF 8.0.1 and this is the only way I can consistently access Gmail without crashing.
It runs XP if this information is useful.

What can be done for problems with downloading Firefox to computer?

Having problems with problems downloading Firefox to a computer that has a slow internet connection. Trying to install Firefox on a computer running XP that has older Windows Explorer program. The computer was used as a stand alone computer and not connected the internet for a few years, so no recent windows explorer updates have been made. The computer seems to perform well otherwise. Have been advised by tech adviser to try loading Firefox to get most up to date browser. The thought was Windows Explorer is running too slow due to being outdated. The computer is connected by a Ethernet cable to a router. Other computers use this setup successfully. Limited internet connections can be made, so the computer modem does work. The download using Windows Explorer is timing out, due to outdated browser. Have tried to install Firefox on the computer using portable version of Firefox on USB drive. Have also tried to download to another computer, saving the install program on a USB drive, then placing the file on the older computer. Looking for suggestions on how to install Firefox on the older computer that can't download the program directly. Feel if can get Firefox on computer, can make necessary updates to computer and slow internet connection issues will disappear.

Some updates are better handled by Internet Explorer or the built-in updater, such as any updates from Microsoft's Windows Update or Office Update systems. (These systems are not compatible with other browsers.)
You can use the "all systems" page to download a full installer and then copy it over to your XP system.
