Usually indicates troubles with corrupt/missing Windows operating system files.

Blue screens, program errors, etc? Registry cleaners are known to cause issues.

Microsoft Fix-it for Uninstall/Install issues here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/

Run sfc /scannow from Start>Run scannow will repair/replace any missing or corrupt Windows system files with known good original copies. This will take some time to complete; you must allow this to finish.

Note the syntax is the following: sfc(space)/scannow If not done correctly, this program will not run and report an error.

Have You Tried Mozilla's Uninstall Steps?

Their procedures allow you to directly access their uninstall program instead of using the Control Panel "uninstall" link. Here's that link:

And here are the manual removal instructions of the entire program from the Mozilla site as well.

And if that still doesn't get it done, try the freeware version of Revo Uninstaller from the link below:

Hope this helps.
