Been trying to uninstall Firefox 3.6.8 from XP SP3 (3.6.6 seems to be there too), but receiving "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" message.

Followed the instructions,

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox

but uninstaller is repeating it's mantra "Your computer must be restarted..."

Just want to get rid of FF. Thanks!

Presumably you've tried rebooting? – DMA57361♦ Sep 3 '10 at 14:54

From I keep getting this message “your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of firefox” ?

rename file C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.moz-delete to firefox.exe.moz-delete.old and the installer will work, if you rename or remove the complete folder you will also loose all your settings and plugins

I had to rename the file called C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.moz-upgrade to firefox.exe.moz-upgrade.old for it to work, but it finally worked.

Maybe you can try force-uninstalling it with Revo?
