| Firefox 3 install problem
I downloaded and installed firefox version 3. The icon in the system tray resembles the icon associated with the download file. When I attempt to open the program I am asked to reboot, I have done this several times. I tired to run firefox as administrator, asked to reboot. I tried to remove the program, asked to reboot the system. I have read the firefox help forums but all suggestions have lead to the same result. 
WIN XP PRO
SP2

On the admin account, reinstall over it.
Dont try to uninstall, just install again.

I logged in as Administrator and downloaded firefox 3. I was able to get to to the point of where I choose which type of installation before the reboot appeared.

Have you tried uninstalling it and then installing it?
Never mind you did do that... Have you looked around in your temp file for the installation file or where ever you put it? I'd probably try to delete the installation file. I'm not telling you to just search and destroy a file. But that's what I would do.

My solution was to install the program in my user account. I downloaded the program again.During installation I selected "custom install".The only change I made during the install was to select a desktop icon only, deselected the two other options for a icon. | |
