Cannot remove firefox from doc

Firefox icon shows in the doc and in launching pad, but does not open. I can't remove it from one

An icon may appear in the Dock for 2 reasons: because it is running, or because it was placed there by the user. If you place this unit in the docking station for quick access, it can be removed by sliding it from the dock until you see a small ToolTip indicating 'delete '. If you do not see the ToolTip, the program is still running. Similarly, if a program still work you can't remove it from LaunchPad. If my conjecture is that the program is running but does perhaps not.

Try this: hold down the Option and command keys, and then type the ESC key. This will open the dialog box force quit. If you see Firefox list, select it and click the force quit button. This will force FireFox to quit smoking and you can remove the application, either using LaunchPad or look in the Applications folder and trashing it. (Be sure to select Empty trash from the Finder menu if drag you it to the trash can.) Once you have done so, you can find a question mark on the dock. If so it snatch to the docking station to remove it.

    Firefox does not at all. Would like to remove it and reinstall, however when trying to uninstall a message pops up that I need to first close firefox! In short: impossible to remove firefox, impossible to reinstall, cannot use it. Operating system Windows 7, 64 bit, Sony laptop computer VAIO PCG 81213 M. Firefox worked just fine before.

    Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar. In the menu that appears, select "start Task Manager". Along the upper part of the "Task manager" window, select the 'process '. You will see a list of running processes. Scroll down the list until you see Firefox. Select it and press the 'end process' at the bottom right. Click 'end process' on the warning popup that appears. Firefox should disappear from the list. Now you should be able to start or to uninstall. If Firefox does not appear in the list at all so this fix is not for you. I hope this helps.

  • Cannot remove messages from the Inbox

    I'm unable to remove items from the Inbox

    You did not mention what e-mail program you use. These instructions will help you with Outlook Express.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • After that installation of Windows 10 cannot remove messages from the Inbox and was told to change my browser.

    I can't delete the emails often. Sometimes if I score one or two to remove it will work. When I have several and click on remove nothing happens. Also, when I delete an element of it is open and then return to my Inbox it is not deleted. I asked the support of Yahoo and the suggestion that came was change my browser, I don't want to do. Can you help me? Thank you.

    I understand that the messages will not be deleted when you manage your webmail in Firefox. I'd be more than happy to help, however I might suggest trying first Safe Mode to ensure that it is not not a hardware acceleration or add on interfering with the operation of the site.

  • How can I remove firefox from the homepage video easily

    An irritating video appears on the start page of Firefox. Is there an easy way to block it and always to open the page in the normal firefox emblem? Any help gratefully received.
    Thank you!

    The best way to get around that is just set your own homepage.
    See - How to set the home page

    Many of us have disabled the changes made to the top [brandLogo part] of the Firefox Start Page, so that we do not see this 'trick '.

    If you feel adventurous, here's how to 'fix '.
    Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the search box at the top to enter the below pref.

    You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

    Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > folder view button. Then close Firefox.
    Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + House folder in the profile folder of Firefox to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

    If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset to retrieve the default to start to use the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + House record once again.

  • Cannot remove items from the view of games

    I inadvertently dragged a shortcut on the desktop (to a URL) on my games window. It now appears in the list of games, but I can't delete it – make a right click does not have a menu and organization | Delete does nothing. How can I get rid of it please?

    It has been for me an experience of Discovery Channel and another example of the way in their attempts
    to make Win7 dumbed down and easy, they often succeed in the opposite direction.

    «The ' menu of games that I'm talking about is one you get when you click on "Games" after clicking «Start»»»

    This is what I found last night. Three options are found in the start menu.
    Two present in the right pane - either / or - display as a link or show as Menu.
    I don't know I noticed them during the first pass of Win7, but had turned them off since then and paid little
    attention than start\program as well.

    * Process * -.
    Display as link
    is apparently one you use and the only one of the three I have no
    try to slip and fall in last night (how is that bad science.). I see now that it's actually opens
    a window of vs an extension out of the Start Menu.
    The folder I was focused on what is start\program, and is the one who has the 'real '.
    the folder I was alluding.
    The other two are also, but I now have a link to the universal currency converter
    with my game shortcuts in the window display as link and show as Menu.. 

    More fun - as I hoped, delete the folder games start\program is only temporary.
    I thought it would come to the time where the installation of a new game, but no, drop the shortcut URL in
    the window display as link also creates a file it with the shortcut URL in there, which
    will remove.  Strange science, what!

    OK - I'm off to find where Windows MASK the 'real' folder, that these two other Menu start files
    are stored in. I don't know that I fell on it in the past...
    * return * traces - well, I found the Game Explorer folder and deleted the most recent file (they were quite 'intelligent' hide which is what using numbers/letters rather than the names of game).
    All this is move the icon for the shortcut from the list of games 'Unspecified '.
    Maybe it's role-playing GE folder?

    Another weakness with this business of game Explorer is that it lists all of the games. He has only 86
    by 145 games I installed. It lacks all the steam and the 8 demo and games BACK.

    EDIT: Maybe a system restore? I tried to restore the file to a previous version, but that did not help.
    I can't (won't) to try the system restore because it allows you to uninstall a game yesterday, I downloaded form steam.
    Crikey! Now, it seems that I am stuck with a URL in a window full of shortcuts that I use never - OMG!

    EDIT again: deleted the folder of game Explorer (User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows,
    rebooted and everything came back, always with the URL shortcut, so there must be a
