Deleted firefox that stopped working (uninstalled and also had to delete the file folder) Tried reinstalling and keep getting the Setup could not be initialized please try again message. None of the suggested fixes work. Please Help. I have a Windows7 64 bit machine. I love Firefox until this happened. Now what do I do?

It is possible that your security software is interfering.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
