manxrider Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Firefox tried to update before at it failed half way through and no matter what I did it kept trying to re-try, so I uninstalled it. I've just tried to re download it and when ever I attempt to install it, it has an error opening the file programe files/mozilla firefox/firefox.exe so basically the first file.I've downloaded it 3 times and restarted the comp once and the same thing keeps coming up.Any ideas?

Barbra Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Go to 'my computer' 'C: Local disc' thing 'Program files' And see if theres still a 'firefox' folder in there, if there is delete it, (i'm thinking some of the files maybe corrupt) Then re-download and re-install.

Muel Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Do it through safe mode.When booting up, press f8 every second, then it should load up what looks like your normal login screen, but in a huge resolution.Login, and try and delete it from there. Safemode just loads up the processes it needs to run, so it should hopefully be deleteable.Then restart in normal mode and reinstall.
