  • How to I delete firefox from my laptop?

    I want to delete firefox from my laptop. Tried numerous times as instructed to enter "control panel", highlight then click remove. This does nothing. How do I remove?

    What do you intend to on the laptop after deleting Firefox.
    Clean it and give it away.
    Are you trying to upgrade Firefox or never use Firefox on this laptop.
    In addition to Firefox you have your personal settings in your profile, personal settings
    generally should stay when you uninstall Firefox and other other applications, so you have them if you reinstall an application.
    Do you have Firefox on another computer.

  • Unable to install upgrade. Deleted Firefox from my system. Attempted to re-install but unable to do so. Help!

    Had Firefox since '06...Upgraded when requested, but last upgrade would not update. I deleted firefox from my system & attempted to re-install. Would not re-load on my main system. I do have Firefox on my laptop computer and it is doing OK. My main desktop system is where I am having my problem. Have went into my system to locate any other fiirefox files to delete as I thought this may have hindered reinstalling but to no avail. Any solutions or should I just continue with IE & Chrome and substitute Bing instead?

    Before making further changes, you probably want to make a backup of your profile folder. See [https://support.mozilla.org/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.)
    If you try to ''uninstall'' Firefox using the Windows control panel (where it is listed in Programs/Features or Add/Remove Programs as Mozilla Firefox), does that work?
    To make sure no Firefox components are running in the background, you might want to restart Windows.
    Also, make sure you get the new installer from the source at http://www.mozilla.org/
    Finally, I always suggest downloading and saving the installation file to disk before running it so that you have it available for reference in case you need it.

    If your intention is to use the trial again it will not reset if you reinstall.  It will remain in its ran out state.

  • I have a MBP with Parallels. I deleted Firefox from OSX and lost all bookmarks. Is there a way to retrive them?

    I have a MBP with Lion as well as Parallels and Windows 7. In Lion, I completely uninstalled Firefox using "Clean My Mac." Don't ask me why:( Understandably, my bookmarks are gone.
    Are they hidden anywhere they can be retrieved? I have been trying to fix this for three days using all your suggestions but just do not have the savvy to do it alone.
    Help!!

    Thanks Edmeister. I was able to reach from OSX to Windows 7 to locate and 'Restore' to a bookmark backup file from the Firefox resident to Windows. In fact, I see a list of old dates that are prior to my deleting Firefox from OSX. But none of them changed any of the current bookmarks in OSX Firefox. I then Restored Firefox on the Windows side but it didn't give me any new bookmarks. I was under the impression (incorrectly) that both sides might have the same bookmarks. Wrong answer.
    When going into Time Machine, there is also no luck because the Firefox file does not exist in Application Support, so there is nothing to pull from there.
    Sounds like it's game over.

  • How do i delete movies from my laptop and keep them on icloud?

    i am trying to free up room on my laptop and want to delete all my movies off the harddrive but do not want to loose them in icloud

    Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
    You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

  • How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?

    how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

    It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

  • How do I completely delete firefox from my computer and then reload it without losing settings, background, toolbars, etc.?

    I need to completely remove Firefox from my computer and then reload it because the current one on my computer is compromised... I don't want to lose my settings, background, and toolbars if at all possible... my computer has been having a lot of problems for a long time, finally got a hacker and viruses removed but programs and apps are still having problems and all have suggested a compromised browser along with the browser itself having issues with "stop script", "not responding", freezing, crashing, and blue screen...

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    You can transfer files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • I got angry and erased both safari and firefox from my laptop. I am on my mom's computer now and I need to know how to get it back on my computer?

    Please help me figure out how to re-install either firefox or safari. I erased both of the applications and my laptop has no internet.

    I assume you say "no internet" access because of no browser.
    This terminal command will download Safari Version 5.0.5 to your home folder from terminal.app ( no browser)  copy and paste:
    curl -o Safari.dmg -R http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/041-0564.20110413.Fi9pb/Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard.dmg
    note: you can cd to Desktop to download to Desktop instead of home folder, before you start the above download:
    cd to Desktop
    After download is complete click the .dmg and install as usual.

  • "libsmime3.dylib" in use blocks deleting Firefox from Trash

    Tried to install the new download of Firefox 3.6.16
    When I did, it said it couldn't install because the libsmime3.dylib was in use.
    I trashed the Firefox application and profiles folder by dragging box into the Trash.
    But when I go to empty trash, the Firefox application will not delete and the same message comes up "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. And then when I click "continue," three of four more "lib" files come up as in use. That leaves Firefox application still in Trash, and I can't install a new version.
    Help, please...

  • How do I move Firefox from my laptop screen to my desktop monitor

    My IMac laptop was disconnected from my desktop monitor during a session using Firefox. When the laptop was later reconnected to the desktop monitor, the Firefox window continued to appear on laptop screen and not the desktop monitor screen even though the Firefox icon and toolbar shows on the desktop screen. This problem only affects Firefox and not Safari.

    Install Zune on the laptop if it's a Windows PC or use the Windows Phone Connector on Mac. For Zune see the support page for more information. You can also copy your pictures to SkyDrive and from there access them on  the Phone.

    Which hardware is on that laptop?
    Firefox 3.6.x is still supported with security updates.

    If it has a PowerPC processor then for an unofficial Firefox 6 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
