I tried to update Firefox. Everything went well until restarting computer. Result was nothing....got the same as I had before. Each time I tried to open Firefox, I got message to restart computer to complete installation of update. This goes on over and over. I have tried to uninstall Firefox using Control Panel and I get same results.....a message to restart the computer and this repeats itself also.

You can try to boot the computer in Safe mode (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that allows to remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) if you can't uninstall Firefox or remove/rename that folder in regular mode.
