  • Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update

    Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown

    A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

  • I get a message when you try to install firefox 3.6.10 that says: "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox." I rebooted several times, but still get this message. How can I make this?

I decided to reinstall Firefox and above message is now shown every time I restart my computer and try to install Firefox 3.6.10.
