Mozilla's Firefox warning

I downloaded and installed Firefox. It turned out to be a crude program so I
uninstalled it according to their directions.

Now I can't access Web pages and can't figure out how to remove the bug.

When I try to access any URL I get the following message;

"Windows cannot find Firefox.exe
This program is needed for opening files of type 'URL:HyperText transfer
protocol"

Of course Windows can't find Firefox.exe, I uninstalled it.

Mozilla wants $39 for technical help. Some free software!! I think Mozella
is a suckers game and I was a sucker.

Is there anyone that can tell me how to get out of this problem?

Do a system restore (if you have xp or me) to before you installed
firefox.

Yikes! I downloaded the same program, only I didn't allow it to become my
default browswer... My best advice would be to ask Thor for help... Thor
knows everything... as far as I know....

1. Open Control Panel and double-click Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab.
3. Click to select the Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is
the default browser check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Start Internet Explorer and when you are prompted to make it the default

What is your OS? If Windows XP, then:

Click Start-Control Panel-Folder Options-File Types
Scroll down to file type HTML
Change the "opens with" option

I've got Firefox loaded in Mandrake/Linux 10.0, Windows98SE and WindowsXP
as my default browsers with no problems. Your post doesn't sound like a
legitimate request for help, but more like the rantings of a troll.
