Cant uninstall firefox

hethmar

I updated firefox a couple of days back and since then its been hell with lagging, freezing, not starting up, not closing down - driving me bananas. I tried to uninstall from control panel/programs/uninstall and the damn thing wont go.

Ive tried downloading an older version over it but its just as bad, Ive tried a system restore and crap cleaner just about anything I know of in my limited pc ability.

Can anyone help please.

What exactly happens when you try to uninstall it - do you get an error?

What version is installed now?

Generally I would have suggested reinstalling the same version as was already installed - then see if it uninstalled properly after rebooting. Installing a different version over the top may have complicated things.

Try Revo Uninstaller.

I have used Revo before and it works a treat on stubborn applications.

Many thanks, Revo got rid of the program, thank goodness. The lagging and crashing withe Firefox was driving me mad. Im on IE9 now but I prefer FF layout.

See if you get on with Palemoon, a stripped down version of Firefox, it will run most Firefox add ons

hI, just to say I still had some probs and finally realised it was a conflict between Windows Defender and KIS 2012. Disabled WD and now its running perfect with FF back on.
