On Windows, Firefox is uninstalled the same way as any other program: from the Windows Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs applet. Try restarting your computer before attempting to uninstall; this will ensure that Firefox isn't still running.

If you've followed the instructions in the above article and it still didn't work, note the link at the bottom to the Mozillazine knowledgebase. It describes how to perform a manual uninstall (it's an advanced procedure that's best avoided).
