When I click on most anything on a website - Firefox does nothing. When I enter a URL in the address bar Firefox does nothing. When I close the browser and try to bring it up again, the icon fades, no FIrefox. I've done everthing I've found on Mozilla, fresh restart, new profile, 2 mos of this is enough. I need to DELETE EVERYTHING - Firefox, profile, bookmarks, anything that has to do with Firefox. How do I do that?

Chosen solution

Open Windows Explorer. Type %appdata% into your Windows Explorer URL, find Mozilla. Delete that folder. Do all this when Firefox is closed.

The above advice is reasonable, although you still would need to uninstall the rest of Firefox.

This would appear to be the only question you have posted on this forum with the current username. I wonder if you ruled out security software causing issues.
