2 - and what other security software you run, if any?
3 - is this 'software firewall' the Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall? If the latter, what is the name of this application.

Old version of Firefox running. Tried to update and get the message that a previous version has not finished installing and computer needs to reboot to finish. I restart, then try to install the new version, but just get the same error.

Suggestions?

Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.
