I have downloaded Firefox but it will not open. I have tried several times to install and then uninstall, but it still does not work.

We used to use Firefox..but for whatever reason it stopped opening. We uninstalled it and we found that the old version of Firefox would open but it would straight away update to the new version and then the problems would begin again and it would not open.

Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.

Great to hear. Now open the Programs folder and remove the OLD folders. Good Luck.
