Or just delete my settings and data in the Firefox folder that contains my profile only user on this computer, leaving the browser installed, but does not display my settings?
I want to assure you that all my settings and data will be always saved in my account of Mozilla Firefox, so that I can install the browser on a different computer and be able to connect to my account to see all my bookmarks, etc..
Nevermind, I figured it. Thank you.
For users having the same problem, I just uninstalled Mozilla Firefox from this computer went to the start menu and searched %AppData%, clicked on the "Roaming" and deleted the Mozilla folder. If it won't let you do this, make sure all the things Mozilla are closed and uninstalled. You can always sign in your Mozilla account on another computer or if you reinstall the browser on the same computer.

I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: "Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"
It flashes several times then stops usually but not always.
It happens every time I try to open a new page.
I solved this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser again wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11. Although I do not often use my IE browser, I DON'T have to use sometimes. Is there a Firefox 15.0 update to fix this problem?
First of all, the Flash of the IE is totally different than the flash used in Firefox. You can update one without affecting the other.
Now, there is a problem right now with Flash 11.3 and 11.4 in Firefox. Downgraded to 10.3 is an acceptable solution for the moment. Adobe publishes the updates (slowly) that solve the problems, but it is not a matter of time before they are all fixed.
Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen
11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox
We'll find other information on more technical issues under these links:

How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox? without buying anything whatsoever?
I'm having a lot of trouble with Mozilla Firefox and CANNOT AFFORD the $199.00 or even special $99.00, it is set by your support technicians. Don't try to talk to me to spend money to repair the software, I don't have it. Just tell me how to uninstall. I don't think it's a huge demand.
I'm not unhappy about anything else because I'm recovering from surgery, cancer, treatment and DO NOT HAVE ALL EXTRA MONEY to SPEND at THIS TIME. However, I would like to be able to use my computer without the recurring problems, reboot, popups and errors I have with Mozilla Firefox.
NO! I don't want to trouble shoot or talk with someone, etc, etc, etc. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE CONTROL PANEL, SELECT UNINSTALL AND UNINSTALL MOZILLA. Give me a break and just told me how to do this! I have tried to do for days and am completely frustrated!
Mozilla Firefox any version of any OS has been 100% free from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and is completely free to uninstall.
Mozilla.org has not all paid technical support form. If you have found this site to support tech who wanted money in a Google search then it was probably a Google ad above the search results.

How to completely uninstall Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 Windows 7?
I tried to uninstall through programs and features. Keeps telling me to wait until he's done the uninstall. He was suspended for days.
I really need to get rid of it. It's all a sudden touching my connections for Windows remote webplace.
Open your Start Menu and select "All programs" and open the Mozilla folder. See if he has an "uninstall" option in the folder. You may need to use its own uninstaller instead of the control panel. My folder of Google Chrome has an option to uninstall inside downstairs.

I read the response from Chris Ilias another question similar to mine and we tried the solutions provided on this thread. Clear the cookies/cache, restart firefox in safe mode with disabled... modules etc. I have not been able to solve this problem and have inserted my firefox details my Clipboard below. Only other thing I can think is the removal of Firefox and re - install, but then I would lose my favorites, right?

Why you use such an old version of Firefox? Upgrade to at least 28 could solve the problem where you have heard of the Interface of Firefox 29 new and do not want to. This link will be 29.0.1, but if you want 28, it can be downloaded via the link install an older version of Firefox .
Please try to update at least 28 Firefox before you continue troubleshooting. Symantec extensions are known to be very problematic. Please try to delete it as it is not necessary to run Norton.
In regards to your bookmarks, no, uninstall and reinstall Firefox will not solve the issue and it will not delete your bookmarks unless you specify that you want to delete. There is a checkbox indicating "Delete my personal data" and is disabled by default.
Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
