Uninstall Mozilla Firefox Version 8.01 (X86en-US) after a crash when remove icon in install/uninstall programs will not remove program

Operating System is Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Wish to uninstall program and install later version of Mozilla Firefox - Firefox 10

First of all find and make a copy of your [[profiles|profile]] include all folders and sub files, and put it somewhere safe, the XP desktop is a suitable location. That allows you to restore settings and bookmarks etc after a re-install.
*see [[backing up your information]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
Firefox upgrades will normally install over the top of existing versions without any need to uninstall, but in your case it is probably worth deleting the program folder prior to installing as a clean install
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
One of your Crash IDs is giving a null signature, the crash is of a type that is not generating and submitting useful information [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/cf3778b1-05f0-4636-9678-368932120202 cf3778b1-05f0-4636-9678-368932120202]
Please take care to ensure you use a genuine copy of firefox from for instance getfirefox.com or http://www.mozilla.org/

    The Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 version is refusing to be removed from my laptop even after l have opened the CONTROL PANEL and clicked on ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS and then clicked on REMOVE the hightlighted firefox program.
    I have just installed the Mozilla Firefox 4.0 and when l try to uninstall or remove this one the same way as l do for Firefox 3.6.13, l have no problem with removing Firefox 4.0.

    Are you sure you still have Firefox 3.6, by default Firefox 4 will replace previous versions of Firefox. Some time the add/remove programs option in the control panel will list programs that no longer exist.

  • How do I find out if my computer has Mozilla Firefox versions 16 and 17?

    I am filling out a claim with the Florida reemployment office which says I must have Mozilla Firefox versions 16 or 17. My computer states I have version 35. Will this allow me to fill out the application claim?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

    Since you use Windows you could use the portable Firefox 17.0.9 esr for this one site if Firefox 35.0 does not work. This way it will not interfere with your Firefox 35.0 install or Profile.

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMPUTER AFTER UNINSTALLING MOZILLA FIREFOX!!!!!?????

    I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox so I could reinstall it since I was having problems printing from my online banking because I could only print it through Internet Explorer.
    After uninstalling, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 19.
    When it came to "RUN" or "SAVE" my computer asked me for my Administrative password (which it has never done before and I've owned my laptop since 2007. I tried my password, but I was denied.
    What did uninstalling Mozilla Firefox do to my computer??????????
    I NEED Mozilla Firefox in order to print shipping labels to send packages.
    What changed my computer after the uninstall process???? And how can I fix it?????

    Some people have reported luck using the following steps:
    * [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop Download] and save the installer (i.e., choose Save, not Run) to a convenient location
    * Right-click the installer and Run as Administrator
    Does that work?
    If the problem is that you cannot even download the installer, is the problem limited to Firefox or are other downloads affected? I wonder whether it's an IE setting.

    Correct the spelling of search on your link to
    :https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/advancedsearch
    :and it would appear that the search would work, use the little dropdown underneath the big green arrow to actually pull up the advanced search you asked for, and it appears to work, I didn't actually bring up any of the results.

  • How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro?

    I want to uninstall Mozilla Firefox from my MacBook Pro and am not sure how to go about it.  I am looking for specific, step by step instructions.  I have not tried anything yet (other than to try to find instructions on You Tube)
    Thanks for your help!

    Since the "FREAK OpenSSL bug" in the Mac which has been making the news over the last couple of days doesn't apply to Firefox but does affect Safari and other Mac browsers, you might want to hold off uninstalling for a bit. But if you must, drag the Firefox application to the Trash. Next, locate your Firefox profile in /Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles and drag that to the Trash too. Then empty the Trash.

  • I have a Mac running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and not the program will not open at all. I am also unable to download the previous version that was running fine. I'm using Safari to contact you.

    I have a Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and now the program will not open at all. I get an error message that reads --
    "You cannot open the application 'Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."
    I am also unable to find a link to download the previous version (3.6) that was running fine. (I'm using Safari to contact you.)

    Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
    My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
    worked great in 3 mns

  • July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that 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.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • I have Firefox 4.0 Beta 6 on my system and Beta 9 was installed, now both are oon desktop neither show on Start menu and Add/Remove list only shows Beta 6 but will not remove it.

    Had a problem yesterday and Google chrome replaced Firefox as my default browser without my knowledge. I removed Chrome from my system and can use Firefox. I have two icons for Firefox on my quick launch toolbar one says Beta6 the other Beta9 but both launch Beta 9 but my Add/Remove programs shows only Beta6 and will not remove it. It seems Beta9 is the only version on my system but was not updated in my Start menu.

    If you updated from the beta 6 version to the beta 9 version then the beta 9 version has replaced the previous beta version. It can happen that the uninstall registry key of older versions isn't updated or removed and that seems to have happened in your case. So you have only the beta 9 version installed and an orphaned entry to uninstall the beta 6 version.
    If you are comfortable in editing the registry then you can remove that entry.Otherwise it is better to leave it.<br />
