  Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
  
  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

  Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

  Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

• I want to uninstall firefox and reinstall it with any of the pre-loaded bookmarks

  What it says on the Tin, basically. I want to reinstall Firefox as if it was the first time I installed, it has to ask me if I want to import all the bookmarks. Is this possible or do I have to manually delete all of my favorites?

  You can delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and also all JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder if you want to remove all current bookmarks.
  If you want to reset all data in Firefox so that you can use the Profile Manager to delete the current profile folder and all the files it contains, and to create a new profile.
  A restart of Firefox keeps again some data including bookmarks, so that wouldn't work for you.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  To make Firefox ask to import data from other browsers, you must remove the profiles.ini file, which records all present profiles, to the location of the profile of the parent folder.
  You can manually import bookmarks in bookmarks (library) Manager.

• I want to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but I encounter some errors that I need help: alert.

  Basically, I had some problems to where I couldn't actually open the Firefox browser, which was never fixed (I'm using chrome right now). I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but when I try, it says "You must close all Firefox Windows in order to complete your download." and yet, I can't even open the Firefox browser. So, I tried to uninstall Firefox, but I get the almost exact message. "You must close all windows to uninstall Firefox."

  I want to reinstall after UN-installing because I use Firefox more often than Chrome. Please help me.

  It may be that Firefox still works, even if the window does not appear.

  Sometimes when the FF closes, no not all stops correctly.
  On Windows, start the Task Manager (other systems may have
  different names). Select Applications (list of which user programs
  are running). If you see Firefox listed, try to close normally.
  If she doesn't stop, and then in the Task Manager right-click FF,
  then click end task. However, if FF still does not close or FF
  is not listed as running. in Task Manager, select the process.
  Look towards the bottom of the list for Firefox. Click right and then click end task.
  If this problem keeps coming, ask for help more.

• On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox

  On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
  Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

  This may be considered to be solve my problem.
  I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
  Thank you for all your help and advice.

• I uninstalled Firefox and now you want to reinstall, but my computer says that it is already 100% downloaded.

  I couldn't use Firefox because it wouldn't load websites (it would just load for several minutes before giving up). I have reset and the problem persisted. As a last resort, I uninstalled Firefox to see if then put it back would solve the problem. Try reinstalling Firefox, after clicking on "Run", my computer says that Firefox is 100% downloaded, despite the fact that it has been uninstalled and is no longer on my computer. As a result, it is now impossible for me to launch Firefox. Any help?

  On the main download page, you get a small "stub" for Firefox installer that needs to connect to additional files. Firewalls or other components can sometimes this fails (even if 100% doesn't look like a failure...).

  Can you try to use a "full" Installer from this page - made scroll your preferred language:

• I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".

  Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
  Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
  Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
  Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?

  I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:

  C:\Windows.old
  

  If so, you can find one of these:

  • C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
  • C:\Windows.old\Users\your username

  If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

  Then search either:

  • \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
  • Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

  Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

  Bookmarks only

  Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

  The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

  • (Optional) Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
  • Restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer - to access backups on the desktop, use the command 'Choose file' menu
  • (Optional) Import bookmarks to an HTML file

  Success?

  Complete restoration

  This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

• Recently reinstalled Firefox on my PC, no longer can "bookmarks" click and see all listed. It forces me to mouse hover on 'unsorted bookmarks' now

  Before recently reinstalled Firefox on my PC, I could click bookmarks and all my favorites belong immediately. Now instead I receive a menu drop-down and have to move my mouse over "unsorted bookmarks", then select the one I want access, not more than before. How can I set up so I just click the icon and the list of bookmarks without additional steps? Thank you, Jim S.

• How di get rid of A.adsmktng of firefox? uninstalled/reinstalled firefox - still here. Do not have if I launch IE 8

  I started making all kinds of popups wgich seem to A.adsmktng com. I did a boot scan with Avast who can't find any puppies, but was still. Ran A search for the string "A.adsmkt", which turned out in firefox.exe. I refreshed Firefox - the chain was still, but in the OLD FIREFOX/firefox.exe and 3 other files in OLD FIREFOX / but still had. Since I have IE8, but never use it, I uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox (disturbing thing is that Bookmatks remained). Ran to new firefox and its still there - I typed the address rather than using bookmarks which Im very suspiciouis, because I expected to be deleted during uninstallation.
  If I run IE8 I have no problem and have actually visited a few sites that have pop ups if I leave here with Firefox but with IE8, I get a page "clean." The problem is in Firefox, so how do I get rid of this coz I don't really want to not use IE8 - I'd still far rather with Firefox
  Running XP sp3

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

• I'm on Firefox 17.0.11, if I uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox 17.0.11, I always get my original addons and bookmarks back?

  I'm on Firefox 17.0.11, if I uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox 17.0.11, I always get my original addons and bookmarks back?

  IAM short of space on my hard drive, I prefer just to re - install Firefox 17.0.11
  on my external hard drive, I have more than 200 GB of free space.

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

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are 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.

• How can I reinstall Firefox v. 3.6xx because c. 5 doesn't seem to work with Roboform?

  I want to reinstall c. 3.6 that will work with Roboform v. 6. I won't use Firefox 4 or 7 of Roboform. Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Here is the process to roll back from 4 to 3.6. Not sure if it works with 5, but it is worth it.

  First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See your backup information. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).

  Then, download and save Firefox 3.6 on your desktop for later installation. http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all-older

  Closing of Firefox 4.

  You could install Firefox 3.6 on it (many have reported success) or you can uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, the entire program.

  Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left. If there are serious questions, please post back with details.

  Note: I have not actually tried myself!
