How to Uninstall Firefox Completely From Vista
Firefox is a free, open-source and standards-compliant Web browser from Mozilla. Firefox 4, released in March 2011, is the fastest Firefox version relative to its prior releases. However, if you don't like the latest version of Firefox or if you no longer use the Web browser, you can uninstall the program from your computer to free up space. Completely uninstalling Firefox on Windows requires more than just removing it from the Control Panel. Additional steps are necessary to ensure a complete uninstall of the program.
