  • How do you completely remove Firefox?

    My extensions are messed up and I'd like to take the easy route. Completely deleting the Firefox folder and reinstalling doesn't work.

    Emptying the extension folder doesn't work?

      No. The problem is it keeps saying "will be installed/uninstalled next time Firefox is restarted" and I can't actually do anything with any extensions anymore. It happened back in the 1.5 upgrade but I've been to busy to worry about it really.

        Errr, you have tried add/remove programs, have you not?

          Check this folder (replacing the stuff in italics with the correct info - I'm assuming you're on Windows) for some sub-folders that look to be empty. Remove them, then try loading up Firefox again.

          C:\Documents and Settings\Windows Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Firefox Profile Name\extensions

          I'd also check the other sub-folders (that have stuff in them) as follows: Open up the install.rdf file and look for a line with the phrase "em:name". If it contains the name of an extension you've been trying to get rid of like this, trash the whole folder.

          I had this very same problem when I upgraded to 1.5, and this resolved it. Tread lightly, though.

            Well, that worked in removing, but I still can't install new extensions.

                  Take a look here :

                      How old are your extentions ? Maybe they are not compatible with 1.5.

                        That's not the issue at all. It's that any extension can't be installed or uninstalled.

                          You write 1.5, but is it that or 1.5.0.1 ? Not that I can say anything more in the latter, but 0.1 could solve it.
