I cannot close Firefox to uninstall it. It does not appear to be open anywhere. The program will also not open. How do I get rid of this program. Trying to unistall it through the controll panel does not work, it says I must close the program first. I need to get rid of it, please help me.

You will have to terminate Firefox from the "Processes" tab of the Windows Task Manager not the "Applications" tab. Then select firefox.exc and use the right-click context menu to "End Process" or use the "End Process" button on the selected process.

Windows 7 keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" will go directly to the Windows Task Manager and reopen the last tab that you had open.
