Hi, open Task Manager and End Task. Copy your profile out. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data Go to uninstall and uninstall Firefox. If does not uninstall, End Task again. Use https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html to uninstall. Or can try installing over top. Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0.2 with a Full Version Installer
