FireFox can be uninstalled and reinstalled without bookmarks, preferences, and losing settings?
All of a sudden, I am is more directed to my homepage when opening Firefox. All I get is "the address is not valid. Also, when I choose options, new window, new window private and find, I also get the error "the address is not valid.
I've refreshed Firefox, which did not help, disabled modules, check the updates and open in safe mode, which none helped. I ran various malware and virus scans and empty came to this end.
I was thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but I'm afraid that I lose my bookmarks, preferences, settings, etc. Any suggestions?
Yes! This is a good way to replace the Firefox program files without disturbing your settings:
Clean reinstall it
We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.
(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(2) close Firefox (if applicable).
(3) to rename the program folder, either:
(Windows 64-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(Windows 32-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
The pages "internal" work normally again?
Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- \OldFirefox\Plugins
- \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

Can I uninstall and reinstall iTunes
When I open iTuned, I see a spinning reel. I have to force to leave iTunes to close. How can I uninstall and reinstall iTunes in El Capitan?
iTunes is now part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled manually. To reinstall iTunes, OS X will need to be resettled by the recovery mode. Reinstall OS X cannot be the appropriate to take troubleshooting measure. It seems that iTunes becomes insensitive to the launch, try to test the issue in a new user account.

Somehow, it seems that I have two versions of 29.01installed. One is the American version and the other British version. One that has all my favorites and viewable history, but there is no visible address/firefox browser toolbar. The other version has none of the bookmarks, and using the profile search product not available, but this version has no visible address/firefox browser toolbar.
Can I uninstall both versions and then download and reinstall a new version and at the same time find all my favorites and the browser history?Make sure that you do not delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox because that will remove all Firefox profile folders.

It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

I have a big problem with Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac. When I want to start DW I get this error that goes something like this: fatal XML parsing error: an invalid document structure, line: 1, file: / filepath/John Workspace.xml
I click ok and get this:
Click on ok and close DW. It gives me no chance to change preferences or whatever it is.
It seems that I need to uninstall and reinstall. What do you recommend? Do I lose all the work I did on the previous sites?
I don't think that there is no need to reinstall. Go to the specified location and delete Workspace.xml of John. Then try to run Dreamweaver. If Dreamweaver still will not start. remove the entire Configuration folder. Dreamweaver should then create a fresh Configuration file the next time you start.
Reinstall without getting rid of the folder Configuration will achieve nothing, because the Configuration file is not deleted when reinstalling. If the Configuration file is damaged, the problems will continue until the corrupted file is deleted.

Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.
You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- 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.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

How can I uninstall and reinstall the Narrator?
How can uninstall and then reinstall Narrator in Windows 7? My Narrator is unstable. Not respond correctly or work with commands Insert + F.
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that the Narrator does not work properly. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;
- The question is specific to Insert + F commands?
- Can you please explain more when you say, 'Narrator is unstable '?
- You did it no particular change in the computer before the show?
As the Narrator is characteristic of the operating system, you are unable to uninstall/reinstall it. However, you can disable/enable it. We will try the methods below and check if the problem still persists.
Method 1: Turn off and turn on the Narrator.
Step 1: Turn off Narrator
- To open Narrator, click on the Start button , then, in the search box, type Narrator. In the list of results, click Narrator.
Click control whether Narrator starts when I connect.
Clear the turn on Narrator and turn on Audio Description check boxes and click apply.
Restart computer and activate the Narrator.
Step 2: Turn on Narrator
- To open Narrator, click on the Start button , then, in the search box, type Narrator. In the list of results, click Narrator.
Select the checkbox Start Narrator minimized .
The next time that you start the Narrator, he will appear as an icon in the taskbar instead of being open on your screen. To restore the Narrator to his full size dialog box, click Narrator in the taskbar.
Method 2: If the Narrator is still unstable, run the System File Checker tool.
System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.
To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
