Mcafee prompted me to update to the latest version of Firefox, but after it updated I've been completely unable to access Firefox. I get the error message:

---Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item.---

I get this message when trying to uninstall it as well. Attempting to to install a new version of Firefox does not do anything.

After that I tried to delete the Mozilla from Program Files and then reinstall it, but I'm told that I need permission to perform this action. After trying to take ownership of the folder and files, I received this error message:

--- An error occurred while applying security information to:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied. ----

How do I get control of Firefox, get rid of it and reinstall it?

EDIT.

Restarting once didn't seem to make a difference, but for some reason after my second restart, the problem seems to be resolved.
