i' tried to attach a file I found in a directory called "mozilla Maintainence Service, subdir Logs, filename maintenance service, with todays date, but it didn't work so I will paste contents below.

Also, I tried to download and install an older version of Firfox from a "stub" file already downloaded a couple of months ago, and it just got interrupted and died in the middle of the download. Also, I tried to download and install a new version of Firefox from the website and when I double click on the new files, nothing happens.

Lets do a full re-install.

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then;

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.


Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox folders by adding .old to them.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
