Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer that you may not be aware of. Check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:

  • Tools (or New Fx Menu) > Add-ons > Extensions

Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.

You can also try the Reset Firefox feature which can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information. Note: After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences. See the Reset Firefox -fix most problems article for more information.


You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

HI lhpeterson, Thank you for your question, I understand that you would like to know how to delete an app that you downloaded. The apps are managed by the firefox marketplace.However you can check about:apps-manager or the marketplace website when signed in. The apps are accessible also from an android device in the Settings > Tools menu if this is where you installed them.
