Complete uninstall firefox on mac 10.6.8

Firefox open with any text anywhere. Everything is empty. I guess that uninstalling and reinstalling?

Long story, short version (long version only was lost to a update of this page). Thank you for your help jscher2000. I tried everything you suggested and searched chrome files, nothing worked until I hit instead of the 'safe mode' on a restart, the Refresh button. Everything seems to be back to normal. I can't believe it's as simple as that. I am embarrassed that I have not try it earlier.

Thanks again for all your time.

  • Firefox does not completely uninstall

    All begins innocently enough that these things don't...

    I use a Dell Dimension 5150 XP Pro with Service Pack 3.

    When I finally (recently) has decided to install Firefox, I tried integrates with Win IE 8. I don't think not of what add-on I installed it, but it worked well with the exception of a single Web site. The password box automatically fills with an unknown password that disappears when clicked on. Normally, in the past with IE 8, when I typed the username and my password, it overrode the outstanding. It worked well once in Firefox, but after that the default password overrides mine and I can't access the site properly (it can be seen, just no model no downloads, poster or comment on the son or previews of the threads can be seen).

    So, I used CCleaner to completely erase history, the Cache, passwords, Firefox etc. That did not work. I uninstalled Firefox from the control panel in Windows XP Pro (but the case was still under Program Files and Firefox Mozilla desktop icon was always on the desk.

    So, I uninstalled Firefox, then uninstalled IE 8, restarted the computer and reinstalled IE 8 and always noticed that the Mozilla folder and icon were always on/in the computer. I also disabled MS Silverlight in Firefox (I never used in for example)

    So, how to separate Firefox IE 8 and how to replace the default password?

    Thanks in advance.

    COR - el,

    First of all, let me thank you for all the time and effort to try to solve this problem (actually, two of them).

    After several hours, making several system restores, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and I.E. 8, I finally decided to spend $129 (later it became $199 for software support coverage a year with Dell.) We spent about 2 hours (with the help of the free 30 day trial of Revo Uninstaller Pro to completely uninstall Firefox and I.E. 8 (with CCleaner and 3 Firewall de Comodo spyware blocking software I had installed on the computer.

    The main problem was in fact due to having the ClickFree of Iomega software installed as a backup of the system in the case of the blue screen of death. As an external hard drive, I can start the USB port with the software window. Now, I thought that as causing a problem, because to have it installed with the password to work and before installing Firefox. Also, I haven't had not updated of software (by plugging in the running) for some time. It runs in the background, in order to keep the changes as they are made, but as I said, I was refreshed (make a backup update) for some time.

    Regarding the password, wellllll... There is a saying about mercury retrograde (which excludes the communication and transport) havoc with the electronics and communications (letters or emails are sent or will be delayed or be sent to the wrong recipient or misread). When I went to type the password which ended in "ing" I had misread to read "uh." I can actually read enough good - usually - but not this time. DUH!

    If the problems are solved. Thank you once again. Your advice will not lose. I went to the links you provided and saved the pages for later use.

    Have you followed the steps when removing Firefox below?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • BlackBerry smartphones how completely uninstall BB Media Manager on Mac / PocketMac is unresponsive

    After the installation of the preview of media manager on my Mac, I read the fine print that Missing Sync and PocketMac will no longer work (which must be in bold).

    What are the steps to completely remove the Media Manager?

    Thank you

    LD

    I do not understand the reasoning/logic either. Media Sync preview works well enough, but what's the point if we disable the other piece of software that can sync anything other than media? (?!). Maybe this will be mitigated as the Software develops (although, once more, he would kill RIM to give us a roadmap?).

    In any case, to completely uninstall Media Sync, you must double-click the file you first downloaded to install it. Within the limits are two applications - one to install and uninstall. The latter should do the job.

  • I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile,"

    I uninstalled Firefox on my computer, then I reinstalled and tried to run, but this message appeared, "failed to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible"and Firefox does not open.

    I tried press windows key + R on my computer and open %appdata%\Mozilla\ - and rename the folder labeled "Firefox", but he said that "the action cannot be complete because the folder or the file that is open in another program" I didn't open it and try to restart the pc, but still no help

    A likely cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

    You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
  • Tried to uninstall firefox but says must close first, click on the desktop icon and firefox does not open

    I was planning to install the new version, but it keeps telling me to close firefox first, click on the icon and nothing happens, is gone to internet explore and found Mozilla support but nothing listed there help
    Please help me with this problem, do not use Explorer

  • Should I uninstall Firefox 3.6.6 before upgrade to OSX 10.6?

    I don't want absolutely no glitches when I improve my MacBookPro of OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3. I use Safari as my main browser and Firefox only when a Web site does not work well with Safari. Therefore, I thought it may be best to uninstall Firefox before I update, because I can always reinstall Firefox after I updated. What do you think? I AppZapper use to uninstall Firefox, as it will search for and collect all preferably, etc., lists that accompany the Firefox, resulting in a complete and clean uninstall. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Hello Gordon.

    I don't know if you should uninstall Firefox before upgrading to Mac OS X (I don't think, anyway), but you may be interested to know how to back up your information, if you are afraid of losing it in the upgrade:
