I was using Seunia PSI to see if my applications were up to date. I found out that I had an old version of firefox installed version 3.0.14. Since I rarely use firefox as my web browser I wanted to remove it. I went to the add/remove programs application to remove the firefox application to try to unistall the application. I clicked on the remove button next to firefox, and the add remove application window flickers off and on again as it usually does when it starts to unistall an application but nothing happens. I need to know if you have a tool to help force the system to remove the application?
