including today's update, my computer shows 10 versions of Mozilla from 54 to 60. When I attempt to uninstall any versions (didn't try version 60), I get the Error message "kernel32::GetLongPathNameW(w, w ,R7, i 1024)i ,R6\uninstall\helper.exe" "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please installan app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

What is the procedure to remove the excess versions? Do I need to use something like REVO to force removal, or do I need to just get rid of Mozilla completely?
