Well, I can try to do one of several things here: 1. Help you fix Firefox and update your adobe flash. or 2. Help you uninstall Firefox.
Let's do #1 first.
- Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
- Now go to the processes tab, and find "firefox.exe" (without the quotes), Select it, then click "End Process".
- Or, if you want to, just restart your PC (this should always fix the problem of Firefox saying it's open when it isn't)
- Download Adobe Flash from here. Run it.
- Start Firefox back up. It seems that the most likely reason for you having firefox.exe hang at shutdown is a bad extension, so you can try Safe Mode to diagnose if you have more problems.
Ok, to just uninstall Firefox, let's do this:
- Open the task manager (it appears you are actually using Windows XP?). Just use Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
