I had Firefox 46.01 and was working well. Some add-on I tried and it wouldn't open any website.

Hi,

I don't remember which add-on I was trying to add. And Firefox stopped bringing up any webpage. SO I un-installed and tried to re-install. I get this message "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?".

Now I am unable to reinstall any version<50. Selenium works well only with <47. Please Help. I am stuck
