Impossible to uninstall and cannot use the minmise/maximize/exit buttons

I can't use the high minmise/maximize/exit buttons on the right, so I reset FF on the troubleshooting page. That didn't work so I thought I would try a new new download. I think that it is better to uninstall the existing version first so I went to Control Panel/Add & remove but when I type remove flashes and does nothing else i.e. without uninstalling. I tried to go through my computer and programs, but clicking the uninstall wizard does nothing. Grateful for any help.

Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

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

Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will also lose your personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?

    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.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    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.

    Hey all,.

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, and about 3 months after getting up my new machine and run I had a few problems.

    Symptoms:
    -Generally a few minutes after booting I can't access the start menu, bar of tasks or traditional system with the left click status bar. (it blinks for half a second, but won't.
    -Some letters, until the entries, erase all entered (at the time in AND THE command prompt)
    -Sometimes the system boots to a black screen with ' boot: ' and a command prompt available.

    I tried to restart and sfc.  System Restore is not an option (not available before the start of what happen to restorations).  I ran Kaspersky 2011, and no viruses have been detected.  No updates (I checked) or install (what I think) were made immediately before this problem occurs.  It seems to work OK now which is surprising, but he acted like this for about 4 days pretty regularly.  If she needs a wipe it is not terrible, but my OS drive is at home and I'm at school.

    Any advice or ideas would help!  Thank you!

  • Lost my domain name and cannot use the old e-mail address to pass to the new email address,... help

    my email address was on a domain that has been taken over by another person / company.
    As a result, my email does not work and I can't receive emails about this address any longer. All emails do not reach the cross. How can I change my email address on my account in Mozilla?
    Should I create a new account to Mozilla, and if so I lose all the data on my existing account?

    Specifically, "representing Mozilla?

    As a general rule, your email address is used as your username for most, if not all of the subdomains of the Mozilla, so you'll need to create a new account for each subdomain that you are registered with who uses this old email address.

    Now, if you are referring to an account of Firefox used for the synchronization service, untie all your devices that use Sync and create a new account in Firefox. Then "link" all of your devices to this new account, Firefox, using synchronization of the configuration on each device. You should not lose your data because when you reconnect to the synchronization using the new Firefox account, your data will be synchronized your different devices on the server synchronization across again.

  • A program can be copied to an external drive, uninstalled and reinstalled using the file?

    It was my understanding that after you uninstall a program, it is not possible to recover the files 'installation' disappeared, and you must re-download it. However, I copied the program files (except Program Files (x 86)) of a game on an external hard drive and then uninstalled the game. All that remained was the shortcut. I then copy - paste the external hard drive program files in the Program Files (x 86) folder on my computer, double click on the shortcut and it worked fine.

    So if I had to wipe my hard drive after copying my WHOLE Program Files (x 86) folder, could I then put back on and all my programs would work? Help, please.

    Hello

    Lol that is only a few minor, mainly previous games in XP, etc, that you could do with.

    Normally, programs need to be reinstalled from the original media (CD, DVD, etc.)

    When you install a program, its files are not normally only put into the folder programs, but they are distributed in all the operating system, in the registry and in conjunction with other program files so that they can work together, if necessary.

    See you soon.
