I went to the uninstall a program place w/nothing else happening on my computer. I had removed some games, that was no problem. When I tried to uninstall firefox 3.0.9 the hourglass flashed at me a couple times and nothing else happened. I gave it an hour tried again. Still nothing. The computer is currently running windows 7 home premium I think the system was windows XP when firefox was installed

The following link should help, it shows how to manually remove Firefox if the uninstaller fails - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

Are the Firefox 3.0.9 files still present on the computer?

It happens often that the updater leaves behind uninstall entries of a previous Firefox version in the Windows registry and fails to remove them.
