I have uninstalled Firefox through the add/remove section of the control panel, and it is no longer listed, but it is still on my computer. Both regular firefox and firefox portable are still usable on my computer, and the uninstalls for neither work.

I'm using firefox 3.6.11, and windows xp. I've manually searched the uninstall prompts in the firefox folder, but they do not work.

I need to uninstall firefox as it uses more of my memory, especially with the new plug-in bin container, and my little netbook just can't handle it. (Hence why I tried installing the portable version, but whenever I try to use it the main firefox starts up as well - even though I have uninstalled it).

Thanks for any help!!

The following link shows you what files/folders to remove if the uninstaller does not work - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

Won't it still be in my registry if I manually delete the folders?

Firefox does not store its settings in the registry, they are stored in the profile folder.
