Ok, I'm pretty computer savvy and when I go to Uninstall Programs, I select Mozilla and click uninstall, then a little box appears and asks if I want the "Firefox Helper" program to make changes to my computer....I click yes (I also tried NO just for shits and giggles) and nothing else happens!!! Please help me remove Firefox asap!!!
