I thought I had uninstalled Mozilla Firefox, but it appears on the computer as if it is still there. I have Windows XP. How can I uninstall all of it for sure?

go to MY COMPUTER.....C:...PROGRAMS...find the Mozilla firefox folder and right click on it ..select delete ...and it will be gone

Why are you removing it ???

I usually go in the registry to ferret out those old entries..
Start> Run> type "regedit" then to HKey_Local Machine and then Hkey_Current User, go down to software on both those. Look for Mozilla and there you should see firefox..delete any firefox folders you see...

run ccleaner www.ccleaner.com -Click 'Issues, then analyze

The above will remove parts of it and leave a number of files/folders and registry entries behind. You can reinstall Firefox then remove it from Start>>Control Panel>>Add or Remove Programs to get rid of everything.

even after using add/remove the folder will still be there

Right, I'm saying Add/Remove should be done before deleting folders or you'll need to reinstall Firefox to get the uninstaller. Don't forgrt to delete the mozilla folders in Application Data under C:\Documents and Settings as well.

I installed it again, and then uninstalled it, and I think everything went out that was stuck in the computer. Thank you all. novice 23

You won't totally remove it until you delete the profile folder located at

C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Mozilla

ps: you need to be able to see hidden files/folders to see the Application Data folder

Are you familiar with Firefox?

I can't download anything i used to be able to: pics, vids, music, etc. Can you help?

[novice23]

People have advised me to download it again, uninstall it, and then reinstall. See if you get better advice first.

When Firefox was installed it creates 2 shortcuts in the All Programs list
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)

Try using Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode) as this will load Firefox without any installed extensions or themes - and will show if one of these is the culprit.
