Cannot download. Error message "download cannot be completed" because previous version still operating; have deleted prior versions from system; still no luck.
Tried to install latest version of Firefox including upgrade [46.0 (x86 en-US) on my current system using Windows 10; Several weeks ago I was having a problem with Firefox browser and was advised to delete it along with the corresponding Mozilla maintenance system with it and "re-install" at a later date. When I finally got around to installing the upgraded version, the download was going smoothly until the following error message appeared: "Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window." I checked to ensure that all previous Firefox software had been deleted and tried to download again. Tried this several times with same resulting error message. How or Where do I find any previous versions of Firefox so that I can properly delete them and make sure the new version will complete its downloading successfully? Thanks very much for your assistance.

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. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.
If there is a problem, Start your Computer in safe mode.
