My “remove/add” command does not remove my Moxilla Firefox browser; instead a pop-up indicats a partially completed update is on file and I must first close and restart - which I do. But each attempt to remove the browser repeats the same pop-up.
This is occurring on my dad's computer which has a password protected "Admin. User" account and a "Daily User" account. I've been able to remove the Moxilla browser from the Admin User" side, but the recurring pop-up concerning the need to restart Moxilla occurs on the "Daily User" side.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
