Windows does not read the entire registry when it is looking for something. There is no performance gains to be had by running these things.
#HOW TO UNINSTALL MOZILLA FIREFOX IN WINDOWS 7 COMPLETELY PC#
They also attempt to "fix" references to files that no longer exist.Īs a result, you can end up with programs that no longer work, functions that no longer work and in some cases a PC that will no longer boot. They also "guess" that other items need to be deleted, many times incorrectly. The main reason they are apt to cause problems is because the cleaners do NOT just clean up stuff left over from uninstalls. See this info which I have in a file just for occasions like this:Īdvice and Info re Registry 'cleaners'- excerpts from TSG: Please do not do this there isn't a "good registry cleaner." "-after that run a good registry cleaner-".
The more I try to fix things, the more confusing things get! However, instead of getting the usual Belarc report, once again I got the same Mozilla Crash Reporter box. I clicked the icon and once more it reached the midway point of "Checking the local network of this computer." This time, though, instead of Not Responding, it simply paused for quite a while before finally resuming and eventually running its course. Next, I opened Google Chrome and again downloaded Belarc. I clicked on the Belarc icon and the program opened and appeared to be running normally, that is until it got exactly halfway through "Checking the local network of this computer." At this point I got the message that it was "Not Responding." After several failed attempts I uninstalled and, using Internet Explorer, reinstalled Belarc Advisor. Unfortunately, anytime I attempt to do anything with Firefox I invariably get a Mozilla Crash Reporter box telling me that Firefox had a problem and crashed.Īlso, recently whenever I tried running Belarc Advisor, for some reason I kept getting these same Mozilla Crash Reporter boxes. I've been online looking for solutions to my problem with Firefox. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who might have an answer to this perplexing problem. Since I use Firefox almost exclusively, I would really like to have it functioning again. Now it won't even uninstall.)Įarlier tonight I did a System Restore, but that failed to solve my problem. (Actually, several days ago I was able to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, thinking that doing so would fix my problem, but it didn't. However, when I then click on Continue absolutely nothing happens I cannot uninstall Firefox. Whenever I go into the Control Panel and click on "Uninstall a Program," and then click on the Firefox icon, I then get a pop-up tellling me that Windows needs my permission to continue. Also, I find it strange that I'm also unable to uninstall Firefox. In other words, I'm no longer able to open Firefox. Tonight, however, it's finally gotten to the point that now whenever I click on the Firefox icon nothing at all happens. After closing this Add-On page Firefox, finally, would then open immediately and function normally from that point on.
Whenever I would click on the Firefox icon I would get two pop-up messages in succession informing me that I was having some kind of problem with "Chrome registration" and that I needed to "contact the author." At first this was just an annoyance since I was able to close these two pop-ups, after which a Firefox Add-On page would invariably and inexplicably open. My problems with Mozilla Firefox started about a week ago.
