When I right click to uninstall nothing happens. I've tried downloading a newer version and it doesn't work either.

Then try to uninstall.

If you are still having trouble, 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.

Do Not remove the profiles folder.

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

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