Adam,
I have restored back before the day the trouble started. Jaws 7 and Firefox
were installed the same day... this could get interesting.

Is your System Restore activated?
If it is, and Firefox was installed recently after Jaws V7 installation, try
to reset your computer to a sate prior to Firefox installation. This will
remove anything installed after Firefox. So, be careful with the calendar.

OK... as it stands the software is on the drive as found under the programs
heading with My Computer. However it doesn't show up when you open add/remove
programs. Also, if I try to just the folder I gives the error Cannot remove
installed extensions process.txt, data error cyclic redundancy check.
And if I try to reinstall over what is there I get a -202 access denied
error.

That's just it... the damned thing won't start either.

Have you tried to run it in safe mode?
The command is firefox -safe-mode
This will work if you have installed some Firefox extensions. I have
noticed the same delayed response sometimes. It's as if there's some kind of
hidden struggle in the background. Normally, I clean it after browsing via the
tools menu, and Privacy. Have a look at the following site for uninstalling:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/1.5beta2.html#uninstall
In may case, I prefer Firefox version 1.0.4 because it's compatible
with Firevox and Fangs screen reader emulator. It has a JawsAssit menu when
voice extensions are installed, but it doesn't work with Jaws itself. It works
with SAPI 5 as well as NeoSpeech, which is wonderful. Plus, it helps debug
rebellious or unaccessible web pages by providing a detailed description of
what a good screen reader should normally say when it functions properly.

Hi,
The other day Firefox started to open very slowly, taking two or
three minutes. I have done all the normal things... virus scan, ad ware scan,
defrag and so on. Firefox 1.5 beta 2 will not uninstall. If anyone has any
ideas I'm open to suggestion. I am running Jaws 7.0, Firefox 1.5 beta 2, and
Windows XP Media Center.
