Firefox Crashes & Can't Remove It
Okay, it started when I got Cox high speed in January. I could no longer access Firefox because of "proxy" settings. Then, whenever I tried to access Firefox, I got the crash reporter, and never got any type of reply as to why, even though I repeatedly sent the crash report. Also, I can't remove Firefox, because when I click uninstall, it shows a box stating I want to remove Windows! That sounds like a virus, but I have repeatedly done deep system scans with Bit Defender, and nothing ever comes up. My network has been secured from the very beginning, and I always do my security updates. Thus, how do I fix Firefox or uninstall it?
