I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?

This happened

Just once or twice
