After installing FireFox, "install.rdf" could not be found pop-up displayed.
Had to reinstall FireFox. I deleted the following folder as said in the help room; "C:\programe files\Mozilla FireFox" I then reinstalled FireFox (latest version) and after installing, I opened up FireFox and a pop-up was displayed saying the the file "install.rdf" could not be found, please notify the author. I clicked on "Okay" and FireFox opened up. Could you provide some info about this?

The install.rdf file will be part of an add-on/extension.
If you open the add-ons manager, is there any error message or message about pending installation for any of your add-ons. To access the add-ons manager select Tools > Add-ons.
If you do have an add-on with an error messgae, that is likely to be the one causing the problem. You can try uninstalling the add-on. If the normal method to uninstall does not work, you can manually uninstall the add-on, details of how to do that are shown in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
Another thing you can try:
- Open the profile folder in Windows Explorer - for details see the profiles article
- Close Firefox
- In Windows Explorer, delete extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and compatibility.ini
- Now in Windows Explorer open the extensions sub folder
- If it contains a folder called staged-xpi, delete the staged-xpi folder
- Restart Firefox to see if that resolves the problem
