How do I uninstall web browser version 3.6.6, Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu, canonical-1.0. It seems as though this version was downloaded and installed through automatic updates and the compatible version of Java was not included with the update. I would prefer to have the original Firefox and Java that was installed with the system. I have very little knowledge on using the terminal and the proper commands to use. Thank You.

Firefox is a very popular web browser that enables you to search and navigate the web. It allows you to run a number of components, such as toolbars, download managers and video players, to enhance your browsing experience. However, you can run into occasional display problems and crashes that require some troubleshooting. With some simple guidelines, repair common Firefox problems and improve your browser.

Print or write these directions down before proceeding. Close down Firefox and click the Windows Start menu on the desktop. Select "All Programs" and navigate to the "Mozilla Firefox" folder. Click "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)" in the folder. This launches Mozilla Firefox Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, you can repair Firefox issues. Select the areas you want to repair on the "Safe Mode" window. For example, select "Reset toolbars and controls" if you want to remove third-party toolbars. Select "Disable add-ons" if you want to disable plug-ins such as download managers. Click the "Make Changes and Restart" button to repair the web browser. Restart your web browser normally after you complete the repair process. Step 5. Uninstall and reinstall Firefox if you are still having problems with it. To do so, go to the Mozilla Firefox download page and click "Free Download" (see Below). http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html When prompted, click "Save" and save the browser installation file on your desktop. Click the Windows Start menu and click "Control Panel." Double-click "Add or Remove Programs" to launch the programs list if you are using Windows XP. For Windows Vista and 7 users, launch the programs list by clicking "Programs" and clicking "Programs and Features." Click "Firefox" and click "Remove/Uninstall" to remove the web browser from your computer. Double-click the Firefox installation file you downloaded in Step 5 and click "Run" to reinstall the web browser on your computer.

I can't seem to successfully download Mozilla Firefox. Can you help ?

I would suggest that you first uninstall the old version for Firefox. In Windows XP, go to: Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Select "Mozilla Firefox", and proceed to uninstall.

Then download a new version of Firefox (using another browser, such as IE or Chrome). The latest version is available at: http://www.getfirefox.com/

Then install the new version (click on the file that you download).

For more on installation, see this Firefox help file:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing%20Firefox%20on%20Windows

Hope that's helpful.

Can't click on like anymore or give comments on facebook. I have deleted all my cookies in my browsers already. Put my computer on and off several times.

This might be happened if you are using old version of the browsers like Internet Explorer 6. I suggest that you download and install the latest version of the Mozilla Firefox from below link.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

If you are already using Mozilla Firefox, then please close all the opened Mozilla Firefox window then click on Start>All programs>Mozilla Firefox>Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Now select Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults then to apply your changes, click Make Changes and Restart.


If the issue still persists, uninstall the existing Mozilla Firefox and re-install it by downloading from the above link.

Internet disconnects on using mozilla,safari,google chrome except internet explorer

This solution depends on how long ago you installed all 3 Browsers on your system.
I'm assuming you're using a Windows PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista

1- First, you want to uninstall Safari and Google Chrome (one at a time) from your PC. These two browsers are new to PC's and are not fully debugged/tested yet.
2- after uninstalling both, restart your computer 1 time.
3- After starting up again, start Firefox and try to surf to a website you haven't tried before on it.
4- If unsuccessful, check which version of Firefox you're using. If it is older than version 3.01, use Internet explorer to go to their website and download the new version.
5- uninstall the old version of firefox first, before installing the new version (always follow this rule for all future program installations, unless otherwise stated in the instructions for the program)
6- Once you have the new version of Firefox installed, run it and check for internet connectivity.
7- Firefox may ask to get settings from Internet Explorer at some point, say yes.

Let us know how it goes and rate us. :)

Mozilla Firefox will work terrifically for days and then, all of a sudden, the screen comes up and everything is askew.

1. Go to the Mozilla web site and download the newest version of the software.
2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall your current version of FireFox
3. Install the newer FireFox you just downloaded.

Keep us posted, please.
Thanks.
