Dear Whomever,

Isn’t it just grand that the latest Firefox version (64.0.2) has to rank as one of the dumbest things anyone has ever encountered? I don’t know if it may be due to my having turned off “Automatic Updates,” but now the idiotic software likes to give me a drop down for “Updates” as if it doesn’t know that I am current. If there is a way in which to turn this annoyance off, I would be most grateful to know. Also, once logged in at “Support,” the asinine “Search Mozilla Support” does not work either.

Also, the asinine software still does not work as well as “Internet Explorer” no matter what “improvements” the brains have claimed to make.

Any and all “intelligent” replies are welcome.

Respectfully,

Gregory Falasz

One way is to do a full clean re-install;

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Note: Check Both Folders

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

Do Not remove any profile folders.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.
