After upgrade to 10.5 all I get is must re-boot to start. Cannot delete without reboot message
Sadly, I updated to 10.5. Now when I click the icon to start FF all I get is message to re-boot. When I re-boot and click again I get re-boot message again. Cannot remove program via add/remove programs due to same re-boot message. I have looked for a suggested dll file, not there. I removed file firefox.exe.moz-upgrade to no avail. After removing aforementioned file I was able to delete but when I did a new install, same problem. Windows XP, Toshiba Satellite. Thank goodness for I.E.

Hi Fred_Oregon,
Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
- Right-click the icon and choose Run as Administrator
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
- Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the Mozilla download page and save the file to the desktop.
- Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
- Run installer
Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
Hopefully this helps!
