In Firefox, all your preferences, settings, bookmarks, extensions, etc are stored in a Firefox profile folder, which is not deleted when you uninstall Firefox.
Have you read?Thanks, I shall try some of your hints. But I use both Vista, ZoneAlarmand Avast! Vista does not work smoothly with major free programsfor security and web browsing. There is a definite bug in ZA andnumerous complaints in the ZA forum, but no solution in sight.I start with disabling CoolIris because I can't see that I can dropZoneAlarm which works well.-ftftr18.04.09 06:59.

How do you work with programmes that need Java? Did you uninstall Java? OpenOffice needs the Java Desktop Environment for more advanced functions (if I am well informed).Disabling the Java plugin for Firefox doesn't disable Java system-wide.-»Q« /'ASCII Ribbon Campaign /against html e-mail X / Torsten Villnow20.04.09 02:31.

I do not have any of the mentioned programs or add-ons installed.I need to revert my positive feedback on disabling Java - the problemsare unfortunately.not. gone:-(. I installed the previous version(3.0.7) now but this does not help either.-Torsten VillnowDavid McRitchie20.04.09 07:06. 'ftr'.It's not clear if you terminated Firefox before having the problem, orFirefox terminated itself and you can't get firefox.exe out of the TaskManager as seen in the processes tab.A lot of timing problems in exiting and restarting Firefox can be avoidedby installing the 'QuickRestart' extension so that it automatically endsFirefox and restarts Firefox the same as the Restart button available inyour addons when you make changes there.
Can T Close Firefox To Uninstall
For instance if you closeFirefox yourself you have to wait a few seconds before restarting.When you terminate Firefox, use the File, Exit - do not simply closethe Window as that may not close all of the processes.Would suggest that you take a look at Problematic extensions andparticularly for extension in your addons list that you did not installto see if they are in the list.You recently updated Firefox and Zone Alarm has been identified byothers as a possible problem. Seems to me that turning it off wouldtell you if it is involved. Take a look at the following concerning ZAwhich does have problems with not allowing you to terminate Firefoxand possible correction.-HTH,David McRitchie, extensions I use are briefly documented on my siteFirefox Custom.
