Can't uninstall firefox

I can't uninstall firefox. When I go to remove programs a message comes up that the computer can't find helper.exe (which is the uninstall program). I then copied and pasted a helper.exe from another computer. I can open the exe as an administrator but then nothing further happens. I also tried downloading firefox again, but it won't install, presumably because I have to uninstall the previous version first.

For future reference by others who might come across this thread, how is that different from using the Add/Remove Programs control panel?

Sorry I don't remember how I did it. I just tried lots of different things.
