Can not uninstall Firefox
I'm trying to deal with a problem of Java plugin that I also followed all the rules, others have defined. Essentially, for this problem, Firefox crashes every time that Java applets try to load it and the plugin is activated. Specifically, the Java Platform SE6 U30 6.0.300.12 plugin. My current attempt would involve uninstalling Firefox 10 and back up from scratch to see if that clears the problem, but it has revealed a new problem: I have no official way to uninstall Firefox.
The list Add/Remove Programs Windows (XPSP3) has two entries of Mozilla Firefox, and two of them are obsolete: 0.8 and 3.4. *. The 0.8, we have a question about missing registry files when you try to run and the 3.4. * ' Remove' button purely and simply does nothing. Firefox itself comes with no uninstall.exe program. No external program works either on these entries or on the latest version of Firefox, I installed because they are trying to rely on ineffective control panel uninstall or can not detect it (in the case of the current versions). In the last paragraph, I listed a number of things that could have problems, certainly, but the only one that I am interested in is the inability to uninstall. Get the Java plugin works would be only one more until I get this sorting.
10 Firefox has a lot of problems and I found the solution has made a firefox beta 11 update and so far everything works fine.

Can not uninstall program called tv.addons.ag, and I get an error-NSIS error message?
(Moved to install, upgrade, and activate)
Hi Tom,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
The NSIS error message box (Null soft Scriptable Install System) basically means that the executable user or a Setup installer tries to run is damaged or incomplete.
NSIS error can occur for the following reasons:
(1) software files downloaded from the Internet are not complete.
(2) downloaded the software, the files have been changed since the original version.
(3) your PC is infected with a virus.
(4) physical media used to install the program is damaged.
(5) materials required (for example, CD/DVD player) is defective.I suggest the following tasks and check to see if it helps:
Note: Try to install your software, after the execution of each task.
(1) clear the cache and cookies in your Web browser.
I suggest you follow the link on how to remove the cache of Internet Explorer below.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/delete-manage-cookies#IE=ie-11
(2) if the name of the downloaded installer files composed of several words, rename it to have only one word. (Example: SoftwareNameInstaller.exe)
(3) if it is available, download the file for installing software from another source approved.
4) update your antivirus/security software.
(5) disable your antivirus and any tool on your computer download accelerator, before to perform the download.
(6) I suggest you try to download and run the Microsoft Security Scanner that allows to remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. Check out the link below to download Microsoft safety scanner http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
I hope that the information above to fix the problem. Please let us know if you need additional assistance. We are happy to help you.

Adobe Muse CC 2014 installs along side your old version. It does not replace it. The new version is installed and available. You just need to launch Adobe Muse CC 2014 and not the old Adobe Muse CC. Sorry for the confusion.

Caught in the trap in the run around. Firefox says that 2.2 is updated and load successfully. When I start Firefox initially, he asked if I would make my default browser. My answer is Yes. Tells me to restart the computer. Update tells me is not complete. Tried to uninstall to install the most recent version. Update tells me is not complete and will not uninstall.
